Hey all! I'm hoping some of you have encountered and solved a similar issue with Plex server crashing on Docker. I had this problem several weeks ago and reported it in August. Others have also reported something similar here and here. The problem seemed to resolve itself for a few weeks until the last update, but now it's back. Summary of the issue: Plex server crashes intermittently, typically following or during a long media download cycle. Restarting the Docker container brings it back online, but the crashes repeat. I haven't found any clear clues in the logs. Would anyone be willing to help me troubleshoot this? I apologize if I've uploaded the wrong logs (details below) Attached logs: Stable log from this morning Log from a crash event Log after restarting the container and regaining stability Plex Media Server.1_Pre_Fail.log Plex Media Server.Working.log Plex Media Server_Post_Restart.log

I too am having this same issue since August. Any update or tips to fix would be really helpful!

I'm having an issue with my Plex server crashing intermittently. It comes back online after I restart the docker, but it typically goes down during or after a long download cycle when media is added. I couldn't find anything helpful in the logs. Could someone help me troubleshoot this? I apologize if I uploaded the wrong logs. Plex Media Server.1.log

Just wanted to thank this thread for all the great discussion that helped me with my decision. I initially went with these ASM1166 cards (1, 2) , but both didn't get detected by my Windows machines ( 1 intel-based and 1 amd-based) for a firmware update. Returned them for a refund. I then followed other recommendations on the thread to order cards from more reliable sources like SYBA even though they're a bit more expensive. Here's the actual JMicron JMB582 card I ordered. Decided to go with a 2-port card instead for lower power consumption compared to 4/6 ports. Can confirm that it added only 3 watts on idle. One word of caution though that upon installing the expansion on my Z390 UD mobo, it automatically turned off my SATA controllers upon reboot. A simple fix via BIOS did it and now everything is working smoothly.

This worked - thank you!

I'm running Plex Inc's PMS Docker and have the parameters set up for hardware transcoding and its directory set to RAM. I followed the serveral guides online to set this up. Settings attached! I suspect Plex's metadata is getting saved to RAM since every time my system reboots, my library mappings within the app are all reset and it re-downloads all my metadata files upon correcting the file mappings. Is that possible? Any help from the community would be greatly appreciated! Also attaching screenshots of the settings from within the docker and the template vvolfbox-diagnostics-20221204-2234.zip

Much like others on this thread recently, my Web UI isn't loading anymore, but upon checking my log file, I'm seeing that privoxy is connecting and so is my ovpn file from PIA. I'm sure I'm missing something here. The only difference is that I upgraded my mobo, which didn't impact anything in my other containers supervisord.log

Thank you for all your comments! Turns out that Syslog was indeed running on the NVMe. I was able to resolve it. Thanks!

this is really useful! Noob question: Is there a guide that goes over how to set this up? Go File in config?

I have the same problem as OP. However, it didn't dissipate after updating the docker. I'm using the docker by Plex Inc. and have thumbnails video previews turned on. It's likely that the thumbnails are getting written directly on the image file? Uploading screenshots of my mappings within the docker and from Plex directly! Any advise would be phenomenal. Thanks! vvolfbox-diagnostics-20221110-0807.zip

It's the latter! Server does not boot once I removed the unassigned NVMe device from its slot

I'm in the same boat as OP wherein my server doesn't boot if I remove the NVME drive (which is currently unassigned) from the slot. It's not in a cache pool with the primary m.2 device. Before following the same steps by JorgeB to troubleshoot, I wanted to check with the forum if I can proceed. FWIW, I'm going through a full migration of the server to a new MoBo, Intel CPU, and a new cache drive. vvolfbox-diagnostics-20221105-1812.zip

Thanks for the tips! I was trying to run this script and it fails when run using User Scripts, but it works when run from within the console of the docker container. User Scripts scheduled script: Fails #!/bin/bash docker exec binhex-qbittorrentvpn curl -c ~/mam.cookies -b ~/mam.cookies https://t.myanonamouse.net/json/dynamicSeedbox.php Script used when running from within the docker container: Successfully works curl -c ~/mam.cookies -b ~/mam.cookies https://t.myanonamouse.net/json/dynamicSeedbox.php Any tips on what I'm doing incorrectly?

You're a top person! I started using the script you provided (modified ever so slightly for my audio file use-case) and it's working like a charm. Super appreciated!

This thread was extremely helpful, thanks! My use-case is slightly different wherein I'm looking to find just my audiobook files (m4a, mp3, etc.) from the downloads folder to a temp folder, where they'll be tagged separately with metadata. I wanted the downloads folder to be untouched since I'm seeding from there. I tried creating this script, but unfortunately, it isn't doing its job and I would love some help from someone who is more proficient in Linux commands. #!/bin/sh find /mnt/user/Downloads/torrents/completed/audiobooks/ -type f \( -iname \*.m4b -o -iname \*.mp3 -o -iname \*.mp4 -o -iname \*.m4a -o -iname \*.ogg \) -mmin -3 -exec cp -n "{}" /mnt/user/Media/Audiobooks/Temp/ \; I added this as new under User Scripts and nothing happens when I run it. The log file doesn't generate any errors either. What am I doing incorrectly?
