You're looking for a suitable operating system to run Docker and Plex with your home server setup. Considering your current hardware and goals, Linux would be the best fit. It offers stability, performance, and compatibility with streaming tools. If you decide to upgrade, ensure you have enough bandwidth—your 2.5Gb fiber should handle it once the port is fully utilized. Docker works well on Linux, and Plex can run smoothly without graphics acceleration unless you need advanced features.

When deploying Plex in Docker, choose the distribution that suits you best. For setup guidance, look for tutorials and adapt to the one they recommend. Keep things simple. I'm using Plex in Docker on a Synology NAS.

It's not crucial to choose a specific distribution for a Docker host, but sticking to well-supported options like Debian or Fedora is wise. Prioritize community backing and reliability over niche distros that may not work with available packages or documentation. Plex in Docker should handle hardware acceleration through bind mounts effectively. You might also explore Jellyfin if you're unfamiliar with it. * As thoroughly as Nvidia on Linux can be, this is just a reminder that such features are usually managed by standard tools like iproute2. And updating Docker port mappings is simpler than manually assigning new IP addresses to prevent conflicts.
