This is a third-party docker container to run the plex-auto-genres script (https://github.com/ShaneIsrael/plex-auto-genres) every day at 1AM UTC. The script has been modified to run without any input and log fetch results to a specific folder (that can be mounted) instead of the working directory.

• Create the container. You can use the docker-compose.yml file as a template.
  • There are 2 ways to connect to your server : using your credentials and server name, or using an existing token and your server's URL.

    Variable	Authentication method	Value
    PLEX_USERNAME	Username and password	Your Plex Username
    PLEX_PASSWORD	Username and password	Your Plex Password
    PLEX_SERVER_NAME	Username and password	Your Plex Server Name
    PLEX_BASE_URL	Token	Your Plex Server base URL
    PLEX_TOKEN	Token	Your Plex Token
    PLEX_COLLECTION_PREFIX		(Optional) Prefix for the created Plex collections. For example, with a value of "*", a collection named "Adventure", the name would instead be "*Adventure". Default value : ""
    TMDB_API_KEY		Your the movie database api key (not required for anime library tagging)

• Volume mount the /config folder that will contain the libraries for which you want the collections generated.
• (Optional) Volume mount the /logs folder that will contain the log files. The files can still be accessed by connecting to the container if it is not mounted.
  • Titles in the log files will not be re-processed. You must delete the log files to start a fresh run.
• Run the container once to generate the initial config file.
• Edit the generated config file (libraries.txt).
  • Supported types :
    • standard-tv
    • standard-movie
    • anime
• Run manully (see Manual run) to check if it works or wait for the next automatic run.

You can start a manual run by connecting to the container's terminal and running the command

/generate-collections.sh
