# With this script, you can restart your plex container when an update is available, or if plex seems down.

# 1. You need to have installed Rancher Management Server (see: https://github.com/rancher/rancher#installation)
# 2. You need to have added an host in your Management Interface (Infrastructure -> Host -> Add host)
# 3. You need to create an API access to your environnement (API)
# 4. Report your ACCESS_KEY, SECRET_KEY, ENDPOINT and PLEX_CONTAINER in vars.
# 5. Enable this script on PlexPy and you're fine !

curl -u "${RANCHER_ACCESS_KEY}:${RANCHER_SECRET_KEY}" \

You can do it w/o 3d party managers:

  "Image": "linuxserver/my-image",
  "Cmd": ["--cmd", "--run", "-o", "--more-options"],
  "HostConfig": {
    "Binds": ["/opt/my-container/config:/config"],
    "AutoRemove": true
  }
}'
