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
