As a learning exercise I switched by Plex setup from Docker to Snaps during 2020. While not the most popular idea, I love Snaps ability to auto update packages. I configured my box to check for updates every 4 hours. This felt like a good compromise on security/annoyance if there was a security issue for a non-Enterprise environment. Docker I used to use one of the WatchTower images to check for updates/pull images, but it needed to monitor the Docker socket which is a big security no no. I do find it strange that Canonical doesn't allow you point to/host a third party Store.
