Plex: linuxserver, pducharme, PhAzE, limetech, needo, etc...I'm confused :\

Boy I screwed up!  I think this should have been posted in the subsection, Containers.  In addition, there seems to actually be a thread answering this very question at https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=41562.0

 

however, that thread is not stickied...shouldn't that be stickied?  Can we vote for threads to stickied?

 

I had plex setup and working fine (among other things), then I decided to upgrade my cache drives and well it's been none stop fun ever since!!  Among the issues I've had, Plex has disappeared a couple of times.  I don't remember how I got it back exactly but all seemed well until I needed to add another Container Volume and now it's gone again...honestly, I do not understand nearly well enough what is going on to be able to piece things together and figure them out, so I'll be checking out the sticky's here and the FAQ very soon.  But for right now I do have a specific question about plex that I can't seem to find an answer to

 

I have the Community Applications Plugin, and when I search Plex, it has about 8 different plex Apps that look like they all do the same thing and...I just don't get it.  Since I'm starting over with the entire docker thing, I'd like to know why there are 8 different plex apps to choose from, and what the difference is between them?  I'll list them out here:

Thank you very much for your time!

You did find the best thread though there are many other discussions worth browsing.
