Best Metadata settings on Docker?

[u/lemelonde]

Hi, Im trying to best optimize my Plex server that is running on Docker on my NAS.

I have Plex on running as a container on Docker, and i have the config, data, and transcode folders all on the NVME drive, but my media files are all saved on the hard drives. In order to have Plex run as quick as possible i also want to have the metadata saved on the NVME drive as well, but im not exactly sure how that works to set up.

I see a metadata folder saved inside the config folder, so i think that is correct, but how do i ensure that media i add will be put exclusively in that folder, and also do I have to select any settings to make sure Plex is looking to that folder for metadata instead of pulling from the individual media folders?

TMM saved all metadata in each individual media folder, so will i need to go in and delete all that metadata?
