ShaneH Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Hello I am using the plexinc/pms-docker and it is becoming unresponsive after about a day of uptime. I am not asking for Plex support. The Unraid GUI will not shutdown the docker. Unraid tries but is not successful. The last two times I shutdown Unraid using GUI or cmd line it did not go all the way down and I needed to power cycle the server. Required parity check when I boot. All I want to know ---> How do I KILL the Plex docker ? Thank you Quote Link to comment

ShaneH Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 No luck with that, but that command is interesting. 'docker ps' confirms the name of the docker image. 'docker kill --signal=SIGINT PlexMediaServer' had zero impact. 'docker kill PlexMediaServer' does not return. Control-C is required to get the command prompt back. Quote Link to comment
ShaneH Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Oh well..... I could not find anything that would shutdown / kill the docker. I rebooted. Thanks & have a good day. Quote Link to comment
Skylinar Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) I have also had the problem a few times that the Docker service did not stop because a container did not want to kill itself. I have also tried to do this manually and have never been able to successfully kill a Docker container manually. I have also used docker kill containername with no success. I then had to manually unplug my Unraid server, which is really suboptimal. It's good that rebooting worked around the problem for you, however it's not a real solution. Has anyone else experienced this and can either confirm that docker kill worked for them or what the correct solution was? Because I would like to know if it is a problem on my machine or a general unraid problem. Edited July 14, 2021 by Skylinar beautify 1 Quote Link to comment

I managed to kill 2 docker containers that just won't get stopped using this method: The `docker kill` command didn't work either :/ 2 Quote Link to comment
