    11 Year Old Server... really want to upgrade.

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Hey everyone!

     

    I've bene thinking for some time about overhauling my well-used, faithful server (which is, for the most part simply a PLEX server). It is in its twelfth year of essentially non-stop service with no hardware issues other than the occasional replacement of hard drives (about half are 7 years old or more).

     

    This is what I currently have: 

    OS: unRAID 6.11.5 | MOBO: Supermicro MBD-X9SCM-F-O | CPU: Xeon E3-1240 V2 @ 3.40GHz | RAM: 8GB Kingston DDR3 1333 | HBA: SAS Cards 2x Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 | HBA: SAS Cards 2x Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 | PARITY: 2X 4TB WD Red WD40EFRX | CACHE: 1TB WD Black WD1002FAEX | DATA: 4x 4TB Red WD40EFRX, 5x 3TB WD Red WD30EFRX | CASE: Norco 4224 w/ 120mm bracket | POWER Corsair Pro Gold AX850 | Norco 4224 Rackmount Hot-Swappable Server Case | Google Fiber | 140" Screen

     

    I have multiple PLEX streams flowing at home and abroad no problem at 1080p. But I'm having some problems with 4k. 

    I'm thinking about now, but mostly into the future. I want to be able to have no problem with 4k and beyond (8k; HDR; etc).

     

    What do you think I would need? 

     

    And did I post this in the correct place?

     

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    There are those settings, jj. I'm not sure how to run docker safe permissions, but I would be very happy to.
    Squid, that's a really good question.  Here is the answer:

    Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: /config/Downloads/complete/tv/Steven Universe S05E24 Legs From Here to Homeworld 1080p iT WEB-DL AAC2 0 H 264-iT00NZ-RakuvFIN-Obfuscated/

     

    I swear I'm not insane. And yet, I'm pretty sure you are going to tell me to do something like "push 'enter'" and it will fix everything.


    Thanks so much for both of you responding.

    Okay. I gotta add my 2 cents because I'm going rather insane. Years ago when I set my server up I was using binhex for things like sab and couch potato and whatever. Awhile back, I decided to switch to the linuxserver versions. It seemed to go well for awhile...and yet I had trouble getting my movies from the downloads folder into my actual movie folder. Well, I decided I would try to fix that. I moved to Radarr and moved everything to linuxserver thinking that the mappings would be easier that way. Now neither my tv nor my movies will go from the completed downloads to folders where they are supposed to go.  I've made it WORSE!!!!

    And it's driving me nuts. I've been reading page after page here and I've tried quite a few things but I cannot get it to work. I really don't want to have to nix my docker and start from scratch. There's just too much information there. But if I have to delete all the sonarr, radarr, sab and whatever else....I will. I'll even try nzbget. I just really want to fix this. It's a massive hassled to come to this thing every night and put everything in it's place.

    So thank you in advance whoever is willing to help.

     

    The mappings are as follows: Sab, Sonarr, Radarr.

    [Support] Linuxserver.io - Plex Media Server

    in Docker Containers

    Strangely enough...that's not the case. Before I deleted the docker.img file. I first reinstalled Plex via CA previous apps. It didn't work. And what's more...it did not (for whatever bananas reason) add the /mnt part. It just wasn't there. I thought it was odd.

    At the time, I thought: Well, Limetech said the docker would be 'easier'. So maybe /mnt is just the assumed way it automatically goes and therefore it isn't visually present. But it bugged me that there was no "container volume: /mnt  host path: /mnt/  with read/write access" even while "container volume: /config  host path: /mnt/user/appdata/plex/  with read/write access" was present.

    Why it wasn't actually there is a mystery to me. Either way, I was directed to delete the docker.img file. And now, because of your and others help...I'm back up and running.

    BOOM! I did it. Thanks so much.

     

    Here was the problem. Previously, before I went to 6.2 this is what it looked like:

     

    Unraid 6.1.9 using Linuxserver/plex:latest

    container volume: /config  host path: /mnt/user/appdata/plex/  with read/write access

    container volume: /mnt  host path: /mnt/  with read/write access

     

    This is what it looked like before I just fixed it (with your help):

     

    Unraid 6.2.0-rc3 using Linuxserver/plex:latest

    container volume: /config  host path: /mnt/user/appdata/plex/  with read/write access

     

    Why didn't it add the "/mnt" line automatically? I had to add it manually and now it works.

     

    Thanks again.

    I think I spoke too soon. Everything in plex LOOKS like it's all there. Every movie and tv show. Everything. Even the ones that are watched and unwatched...or even partially watched. BUT: Everytime I go to play something it says:

     

    Please check that the file exists and the necessary drive is mounted.

     

    When I check each media file it shows the correct file path. But then, in red it states: UNAVAILABLE.

     

    Plex.tv says this about it:

    The file has been renamed: NOPE

    The file has moved: NOPE

    The drive on which the file is stored is not mounted (e.g. a USB drive is not plugged in): NOPE

    The drive on which the file is stored is mounted with a different name. This can happen unintentionally sometimes if the drive is improperly removed and then plugged back in, which can cause it to mount with a new name.: NOPE

    The computer account under which Plex Media Server is running does not have the correct filesystem permissions to access the content location or the content files.: MAYBE???? I DON'T KNOW.

     

    Can I get some help?

    You sure you deleted the docker.img file and not just the Plex container.  The docker.img file that you specify in settings => docker where you specify a size for it.  The error is a bug and requires this to be deleted and recreated and all your containers to be downloaded again.  The manifest layer issue is a docker bug in Unraid not an issue with this container.

    I'm not sure I deleted the docker.img file. I probably didn't. I probably just deleted the plex container. When I go to delete that I click on "also remove image". I thought that deleted the docker.img file. But apparently not. Let me ask you something first. If I delete the entire docker.img file, will I have to set up couch potato, sonarr, sabnzbd, etc...all over again?

    I am currently using Plex Version 0.9.16.6. It says there is an update but no matter what I do, I cannot get it to update. I have done everything from restarting my entire server to turning the plex server off and restarting it to just checking for updates on the server itself. Nothing is updating this thing and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.

     

    It has updated in the past but now refuses to do so.

     

    I am currently running Unraid 6.1.9 using Linuxserver/plex:latest

    container volume: /config  host path: /mnt/user/appdata/plex/  with read/write access

    container volume: /mnt  host path: /mnt/  with read/write access

     

    Please, help. Thanks!

     

    This is a bug within Unraid.  It's been fixed in the latest Release Candidate for V6.2.  Either update Unraid or ignore it for now...

     

    One you update Unraid, delete docker.img and recreate it, download all your containers again and the bug will be fixed.

     

    Actually just read a bit more in depth.

     

    1.  There is a perpetual update bug in Unraid so the above stands for that....

    2.  But there is an update available.  Delete your docker container from the Unraid webui and pull it down again and should be on the latest version.

     

    So, I did this. And when I got Plex running it couldn't find my database. It said it couldn't find the old server, but did find the new one (they were both the exact same server). It's like it didn't like the database or something and it seems like i"m having to start all over. Which is understandably frustrating.

    What am I doing wrong?

     

     

    Now when I tried doing it again it's telling me this:  Error: layers from manifest don't match image configuration
