So I gave up. It seems no one knows what the problem is (including me ) I switched to the Plexinc container and finally got back up and going. It took me quite a while to get it all working, so If anyone else needs to make the switch here are a few tips from my past couple of hours of pain: First take the time to copy your binex-plex config directory to a new location, so you can keep the original for reference in case you screw up and need to do it over. Next, read and understand as best you can, the readme for the Plexinc container: https://github.com/plexinc/pms-docker The /config directory for binhex-plex docker has the directory "Plex Media Server" directly inside it. In the Plexinc docker, the "Plex Media Server" directory is inside "Library/Application Support/", so you'll have to create the directories "Library/Application Support" and then move your existing "Plex Media Server" into it. Your /config container path should then point to the directory containing "Library" If this sounds confusing, you can always just create a temporary plexinc docker with the container name "plex-tmp" or something, start it up with the default values and look at what it creates. In the directions don't forget the variable ALLOWED_NETWORKS, otherwise you won't be able to connect to plex on your local network. If you have a plex pass, the repository field should be 'plexinc/pms-docker:plexpass' instead of 'plexinc/pms-docker', so you receive updates correctly. For more tips, 'Spaceinvader one' created a video on switching containers that's also worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RgPx7BN8DE Hmm... I think that's about it. In any case that's what worked for me. Good luck!

Hi all, I have lost access to my Plex server. I was on the Plex.tv site from work and I decided to change my password. Big mistake. I checked the box to invalidate all connected devices, and I lost access to the server. I thought I'd just be able to restart it when I got home, but no. I can restart, but port 32400 on my local network no longer delivers anything. I ran: lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN from the shell, and it says: docker-pr 22409 root 4u IPv6 323760312 0t0 TCP *:32400 (LISTEN) So it looks like it's listening. I tried to adjust the Preferences.xml as indicated here: https://support.plex.tv/articles/204281528-why-am-i-locked-out-of-server-settings-and-how-do-i-get-in/ but there is no change. In looking at the plex server log, the server appears to be shutting down (though the docker continues to run with no docker log errors). There are messages involving plex.tv, but I don't really understand much of what's going on in there. I've attached a plex server log of a complete startup. If anyone has an idea I'd love to hear it. Any help would be appreciated. server.log

It works! I loaded the User Script plugin and set my startup script there and all is working like before. I did see the call to my startup script was still in the go file, but it wasn't running. Oh well, the User Script plugin is working fine. Thanks to itimpi and trurl for all the help. I really appreciate it. Also much thanks to the Unraid team for fixing the annoying update problems in Docker.

Thanks! I'm off to bed, but I'll try to use the Users Script plugin first thing tomorrow. I'll let you know if it works.

I guess my problem is that I don't recall what the mechanism was that made it automatically run at startup in the first place. I just need a way for my authorized_keys file to survive reboots. The file is on the thumb drive, I just need to make sure it's always in the .ssh folder of the running system.

It looks like that was it, though I haven't tested the other plugins. I tried to just re-add the NerdPack.plg file with the existing plugin folder and the GUI would not start. I then deleted the NerdPack.plg and its corresponding folder, and then after reboot re-added the plugin from community apps and it worked fine. I'm not actively dependent on any of the utils, so I'll just add things as I need them. The only thing that doesn't work now is my authorized_keys file. Years ago I wrote a custom 'startup.sh' file that copied my authorized_keys from the boot drive to '/root/.ssh'. This startup file no longer runs at startup, so I can't ssh into the machine using my keys. Is there a standard way for setting up authorized ssh keys in Unraid 6.8?

Hi Maarty, If you only have ssh access, you can set unraid to boot to GUI safe mode. Edit the file /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg file. Just move the line 'menu default' to beneath the line 'label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins)'. Then save and reboot. Just remember to set it back when you're finished. label unRAID OS menu default kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot label unRAID OS GUI Mode kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui label unRAID OS Safe Mode (no plugins, no GUI) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot unraidsafemode label unRAID OS GUI Safe Mode (no plugins) kernel /bzimage append initrd=/bzroot,/bzroot-gui unraidsafemode label Memtest86+ kernel /memtest

Hi all, I set all the original files back into directory '/boot/config/plugins'. Then I removed all .plg files, except for community.applications.plg, and restarted. Everything is working fine. That means the problem is likely with one of the following plugins which I removed: fix.common.problems.plg recycle.bin.plg NerdPack.plg dynamix.ssd.trim.plg preclear.disk.plg tips.and.tweaks.plg I don't have too many interesting settings in these plugins, so I think I'll try to re-install them and see if they work with fresh configurations.

I removed the folder and rebooted, and that worked, but I did lose my GUI dark mode. I moved all the files in /boot/config/plugins to another directory, so I'll move the files back and reset it as you suggested. Time for me to head to bed for now though. My hardware takes about 10 minutes to reboot each time, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to play with it again. Thanks very much for your help! I'll report my findings hopefully tomorrow once I've narrowed down the exact problem. Goodnight.

The directory /boot/extra is empty, but as I said, there are many plugins in '/boot/config/plugins'. Can I just empty this directory?

I see several plugins in '/boot/config/plugins' Is this the directory to remove? Is it safe just to delete the contents and reboot?

Yes, it looks like that might has something to do with it. In safe mode I can connect to the GUI. I looked under 'plugins' and it showed no plugins installed and three plugins on the error tab. I deleted them in the GUI and restarted no longer in safe mode, but I still can't load the GUI. Could there be other plugins not shown by the GUI that I could remove from the command line console?

So, looking a few of the other posts, I tried to use the 'diagnostic' command in the console, but I got: /usr/bin/php: error while loading shared libraries: libicui18n.so.64: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi all, I just updated to the latest stable version and I can't connect to the web interface. I can SSH into the machine and my Plex docker seems to be running fine. Following are the last (sanitized) entries in the syslog if that is helpful. Thanks for any help or ideas!

Good to hear! I hope the parity and extended SMART test show green. Thank you so much for your quick response. I REALLY appreciate it. You're the man
