I currently use an Ubuntu distro (Mint) with Plex installed serving media to my local network. I installed docker last night so I can test out some photo hosting services.
Is there a benefit to running Plex through docker vs the traditional method?

I give my containers their own IP addresses using macvlan. Eliminates the need to forward ports on the host and you can put them on a different subnet to keep everything separate from the rest of your LAN. Works great with Plex and makes reverse proxy setup very easy.
Yep, I really like that feature. I use it for pihole and a couple of other services.
