January 23, 20215 yr New to containers and was able to figure out how to successfully put my Plex container in a different VLAN from my UNRAID management/shares access with trunking on the switch. I'm struggling as I've specified the "Container Path" and "Host path" but when launching the Plex container in the initial config and it does not see the media. Do I need to veer outside and somehow specify the IP/port of the share given it is in another network compared to the container? I'm confused as when you specify the Host path it drills down and actually sees the needed path in the config...trying to understand the operation. Any help is appreciated as I cannot find, yet, with someone with the same issue. I am using the Official Plex Repository for the container and maybe there is a field I am unaware of that is not in the provided template... Edited January 23, 20215 yr by buddylee7
January 24, 20215 yr When adding the library, are you navigating to the appropriate container path within plex?

I am not even given that option (when logging into the Plex GUI for the first time) as it just starts up and only provides me the friend shares along with the Plex provided content. Sometimes I get the "no soup for you" but goes away when I log out and log back in and still no shares.... Add some additional color on my setup, and I've had it working before but running a VM instance of PLEX....I have three VLANs Internet VLAN | | Internal VLAN with Plex App (Users) ---- Plex Server VLAN ---- UNRAID Shares VLAN I do this because I allow external shares to the Plex VLAN and if it somehow gets compromised, theoretically offers me some more protection into my other networks. Shares are read only... Edited January 24, 20215 yr by buddylee7

UPDATE: Well....appears I shot myself in the foot and there is some kind of dependency for Plex to communicate externally, even when initially NOT allowing remote access, which I was filtering traffic. I corrected the outbound connectivity on my firewall, blew away the container and started from scratch and it was able to see my shares Edited January 24, 20215 yr by buddylee7
