docs: document connecting to Plex in a separate Docker stack - #157
Merged
Conversation
Plex running in its own Docker Compose stack advertises the address of the network it sits on, which nothing outside that network can reach. Maintainerr authenticates fine and may even list the server, but every connection to it fails, and the cause is invisible from Maintainerr's side. This is a subsection with its own heading rather than another admonition. The Plex section already carries three notes, and the report was specifically that the fix is unfindable, so a sidebar entry is worth more than a fourth callout. It sits after the collapsible blocks so neither of them falls under it. The existing "Server list is empty" block covers a different symptom, where Plex publishes no reachable connection at all and the dropdown stays empty.

Anyone running Plex in its own Docker Compose stack now has a documented reason why Maintainerr authenticates but never connects, and the one setting that fixes it. Closes Maintainerr/Maintainerr#3576.
