This is a modified version of the original ngrok-plex that allows you to specify the tunnel ip address if plex is running somewhere other than localhost. All credits go to the original authors.
ngrok-plex is a command line utility to run Plex through ngrok to bypass CGNAT or Double-NAT scenario.
We utilise the docker buildx for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here.
