How to run sh code?

Hi!

I need to repair my Plex database and I found a tool to do so, here's the tool:

GitHub

GitHub - ChuckPa/DBRepair: Database repair utility for Pl...

Database repair utility for Plex Media Server databases - ChuckPa/DBRepair

This said, I'm new to unraid and I'm unsure how to execute the script in unraid?

Any help would be great!! Thanks

Maybe try this instead

Ok thanks for the reply, will try there too but if anyone got any basic tricks for me Imma take them here too please!

You have to make sure that the 'execute' flag is set in permissions for the tool. Permissions are -rw-rw-rw- for non executable files. They are -rwxrwxrwx for files that can be executed. (This requirement is for all files— shell scripts, binary, etc.)

What I found easier is to copy the DB repair script into the library folder, the app data folder of the template.

Any Docker a console into the Plex system and cd /config example. Then if you use ./[scriptmame].sh it should run...

I found that I've also had to add a Docker mod to the dockers to install sqlite binary to make the script run sometimes.

This is why I created the DB repair Docker which runs that script

to run a shell script in terminal is ./yourfile.sh . the file must be set as executable first though to make it so chmod +x yourfile.sh . Before running any script you should understand what the script is going to do or you might have bigger problems.
