Database Optimization

[aslefnad]

my plex server is running inside the linuxserver docker container. my first question is, if it would be better for my performance to run it directly on my server? and also inside the docker it is not possible to use your database optimization with sqlite. what exactly does this do? faster loading of covers etc. or does it improve playback?

thanks for your help

DB optimization is basically allowing more of records to be stored in ram and yes faster loading on covers less those slow db queries in plex logs etc...

As for docker yes it does add a little overhead and it can be annoying to do some stuff.
Personally I did not saw any advantage of running plex in docker especially in server that is meant for plex.

The only reason I would run some apps in docker would be when I dont want dependency needed to be installed on my main os.
