Thanks in advance

I'm using native, latest version and its been running fine, transcoding works great.

Not sure what docker buys here, just more cleaner setup maybe, especially if you're using compose

If you always yearn for "the latest update" of Plex then I think you would go the 'docker' route which, I suppose, would be considered a more "pure" installation of plex - not depending on TM releases of something better, some time later. But then, you might be faced with the same conundrum wrt Docker and you will always be waiting on the TM Docker engine to be updated, or something like that. Two edged sword. But, again, I don't run Plex and I don't run Docker (except as experiments) so what do I know - or care
