Plex Media Server

[DarthAlduin]

Hello,

 

I am new to Unraid using version 6.9.2.

I am trying to set up Plex Media server to my server using the Plex Media Server docker container from Plex, I am able to pull the container and get into the WebUI, but it just skips the Server set up process and looks like it goes directly to the web app.

 

I do have a server set up already but that computer has now turned into my Unraid server and I want to create a new one for this, I still have access to get to the OS that has the server that I was orignially using.

 

Someone please help me as I have spent hours on this and it is super frustrating. 

 

This is the log for Plex Media Server.

A Plex Claim is in there, but I have removed for this reply.

Not clear what you think the problem is. Can you add your libraries?

[DarthAlduin]

No I have attached a screenshot of what it looks like, there are no server settings on the left hand side.

 

When initially starting the docker up, after signing in should I be able to create a server?

It does not even let me create one.

 

How would I go about getting Plex Media Server on the Unraid server, if I click this wont it just download onto the computer that I am using and not the Unraid computer?

How are you accessing those pages? Are you clicking on the Plex icon on the Docker or Dashboard page and selecting WebUI from the popup?

[DarthAlduin]

I ended up figuring this out, I need to SSH into my server from my PC.

 

Thank you for your help though, it is appreciated.

@DarthAlduin how did you end up fixing this issue, I ran into the same problem today, tried all solution I could find online to no avail.

@DarthAlduin@EchoCharlieDelta Any detailed fixed for this? I'm running into the same issue! Thanks

Its been a long time since i setup plex but I thought once you spun up the docker and get your claim code you had to go to plex.tv and claim it.
