This is one very important Release! For several reasons :)
It includes a brand new functionality called Local Relay (more info below), Configuration Settings are validated during startup and more details provided in the logs, the README documentation has been reorganized and separated into parts, and Kubernetes examples have been added.

And last but definitely not least, I'd like to dedicate this release to our new-born daughter, Sofia!! 👶🍼

Local Relay

It's basically a small NGINX forward-proxy that gets installed on the Plex Container, and forwards transcode updates back to Plex. The purpose being, that Workers now communicate with that Local Relay, and the Relay replays that same call, as if it were a local one.
Benefits:

  • You no longer need to configure the IPs, Ranges, or subnets of Workers to have access to plex without Auth. So no more custom Network config is necessary :)
  • You can now configure the setting PMS_SERVICE instead of PMS_IP, meaning you can use the actual Service name to refer back to Plex
  • You no longer have to worry about the FORCE_HTTPS setting if using Secure Connections = Required in Plex. It works out of the box without any additional configuration (and it will probably soon be deprecated).
