Neither. Use the container field "Version" and change it from "latest" to "public" and it'll pull the last stable release automatically. Plex's release notes say you're safe to downgrade to 1.31.2 or later without messing up your database. Just did this myself, but still giving it a couple days to see if the problem pops up again. Just moved hardware from an old Xeon system to a new 14700k system with 64GB, and the same stupid problem persisted across hardware. No matter how much RAM is in there, Plex has been filling it up, locking up Unraid entirely (no GUI and no SSH, but CPU churning, fans going crazy)... finally put a RAM limit on the container so it doesn't lock up the server, but it still kills the container. So we'll see if rolling back fixes anything...

Definitely on the same network and haven't changed network settings in years (the old docker still functions with no issue.) BUT you triggered a memory of having to forward ports and whatnot back when, so I wiped out a few lines on the router and BOOM... setup wizard activated! Thank you! It's currently scanning my library, but it looks like I'm going to be forced to start from scratch since it's treating everything as new. Once it's done I might try re-copying everything from the old docker, but I doubt it'll work 😞 We'll see. I don't even know how much work I'm getting myself self into given all the custom art, sorting and collections I have set up 😣

So I hit Remove and now I get this... I tried logging out and in, I even tried a fresh binhex docker. Same damn result! I feel like I'm missing some stupid important step, but I don't know what it would be! I don't even remember what it looks like to set up a new server... shouldn't there be a setup wizard? Is there a way to force it? It just keeps searching for an existing one. Ugh... Thanks for trying though, I appreciate it. I'll hit that forum up too.

That's what I'm getting at... I think the only way I can get a new server going at all with it is to choose "Remove server" first and I've been reluctant to do so. I may just go ahead and bite the bullet 😣 EDIT: To clarify, I've been getting that screen every step of the way, whether it's a clean install or after every file was copied over.

Well, I went back to find out and it's not showing up. I went to the settings, however, and changed the dropdown for "Allow Fallback to Insecure Connections" to "Always" and still nothing.

Do you know if I hit that "Remove server" that I can bring it back later without much issue? (assuming this doesn't go as planned) I'm just unsure of what "remove" really means in this context. And I don't think I can go any further without doing so.

I did... I straight coped all the contents, folder for folder, file for file. Even overwrote any file that was already there. Same results.

Didn't work 😞

Yeah, I copied the entire contents of the former into the latter. (I also added the missing map, thank you) Am I just expecting the wrong outcome? Will it not just start the server as if it were the old one? Or am I forced to remove my old server and start a new one? (I'm hoping the old contents will still populate if that is the case, like custom covers, sorting and whatnot) EDIT: I'm also just paranoid of hitting that "Remove server" button making this irreversible, haha. This is what I get after copying all the contents of the old build into the new...

Sorry, I'm an idiot. I learn all this stuff as I go and then forget it by the time I need to tend to it again. Is this what you're looking for?

I thought they'd be the same too, but for whatever reason it isn't populating the old data. I figured I must be doing something wrong or missing an obvious step... I'll fiddle some more. Maybe I just need to step away and come back 😓 I have no idea either. It seems it should be so simple, but it just isn't working. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why it's not pulling all the same data. It's as if it's completely ignoring what's there (after copying the old files to the new directory.) Thanks for the responses guys... I'll report back

I've been neglecting my Plex docker since it has been working fine up until now, but I need to migrate to Linuxserver docker from needo. My problem is, I can't get the linuxserver docker to recognize the same file structure as they clearly use different mapping (when I try to just copy all the seemingly appropriate files and folders, Plex still loads blank as if it's completely new.) Does anyone know what the key library files are that I need to look at? Or am I completely screwed and need to start from scratch? I'd rather not have to start from scratch as I have a LOT of tailored stuff that will be nearly impossible to completely restore. 😣

Are you allowed to state what the core differences are or will be at this point? Kinda wondering if it's even worth the hassle of starting a new install and migrating everything. (Can't imagine there being anything significant other than having the Plex guys "supporting" it in the long run.)

I hope so! lol
