Creating the Media Folders for Plex on a Synology NASīefore we begin the process of installing Plex, we should first create the folders on our Synology NAS that we will use to store media files. There is also a Youtube Video at the end of this article that will walk you through the installation. This article will guide you through creating folders on your Synology NAS, installing Docker from the Synology Package Center, running the Plex Docker Container and initial setup as well as accessing the application from other devices. Plex can be installed as a beta from the Synology Package Center, however for this article, we will be using Docker to create a cleaner, more isolated install using a highly maintained Docker container from the LinuxServer.io team. Installing Plex on a Synology Network Attached Storage (NAS) device is a great way to convert your NAS into a home media server. Plex is a media server that can be used to serve your stored photos, videos, and music to your devices.
