Use NowShowing v2, which is a major update to the original Docker and is available in unRAID Community Apps.

Yes, the app can send an email summary to all or selected users of the Plex Server and also provide a web page for users to visit.

### How do I set when the web report runs?

### Why might it stop working in Docker Desktop on Windows?

One user reported that Docker for Windows lost the ability to run Linux Containers, which prevented NowShowing from running.
