Just have so much information, but just need some step by step assistance on navigating with unraid's terminal and the right commands related to Plexinc and version 6.12.10 . I have started the basics steps but not getting anywhere. Using PlexDB Repair utility but different command needed for plexinc docker in Unraid. Anyone encounter this dilemma?

This will run a plex db backup, and run commands to repair a plex database.

Wow. Thank you. I will read this more in depth to plan a strategy for my issue with plex-inc docker app.

Update, been reading some information on using app dbrepair. Just wanted to make sure I have the many setting values correct.

Here is an reference example from documentation:

I am going to change Repository to plexinc/pms-docker as in this document, right? Is the any other settings that need to be changed other Plex Database Folder, to into this unraid docker app?

Edited February 8Feb 8 by ButchR

Correct

as that tells the docker to kill teh corect plex if its not stoped more a safety net catch all but its best to use the repo to guarantee that docker only is stoped. leaving as plex will intaite a search so anything with the word plex will be killed / stoped...

the tricky part is settign the please database path, which should mirror your appdata folder.

Okay. I just changed Repository.

This is an example in document:

This is my dbrepair docker install setting before install process.

This is my shares view. Please note you will see DBRepair there already. This is because I started to do some steps manually ( 2 weeks ago). Did some prep, but did not run dbrepair. Just could not figure out the proper execution for plexinc-docker. Just wanted to confirm the correct path to install dbrepair docker correctly. Please see below.

I hope everything made sense. I am just installing the dbrepair app on my Uraid server. On the second page of the install page setting parameters I need to confirm the correct settings. This is the correct path to use, right?

/mnt/user/appdata/PlexMediaServer

Think I am ready to continue, right?

yes, looks good

if you cd /mnt/user/appdata/Plex-Media-Server
and run command ls to list the contents

You should see a "Library" folder. If yes, then that's correct!

root@BMM-Tower:/mnt/vm-zfs/Dockers/Plex/database# ls

DBRepair.sh* Library/

root@BMM-Tower:/mnt/vm-zfs/Dockers/Plex/database#

the repositoy it self is wrong you don't change the repository at the top that the docker tag you pull


bmmbmm01/plex-dbrepair

repostiry should never change..

That repository needs to go here:


replace plex with the repository tag you have...

I see whats going on now... appologies for my over sight i didn't see what you rarly had on screen shot..
as in thoery the only thing you frealy have to do is add teh appdata folder to the plex Library and click apply no other chnages should be necessay to run a automatic repair...


what I recomend is opening 2 web pages in unraid...

this way we can grab the data needed...



so in one page be at teh dm repair install page noted on teh left. and edit your plex docker to grab the needed data form the right...

example:

Step 1 set the Plex folder path:

OPTIONAL / Recomend step 2 set the container name or image

OR

thats it... run my docker dbrepair...

Sorry, I am confused. So I selected to install dbrepair app on unraid, then I get the following page in the install process:

I should not update this page ?

Okay I see your new information now.. I will look at it now.

Oh I am following your steps fine. Maybe I am missing something. Just wondering about step 2. Plex_Container_Match, Left top and bottom screen are the same. But the right top and bottom are different highlighted values . What should the Plex_Container_Match be the name or the repository value?

either or pick one. this is how my docker identifes the plex continer. by default it will search unraids dockers for anythign conting plex

I recomend using the repository image as its a direct this one and kill.

the issue you have atm is your calling a plex docker image and not my docker image:


you may need to delte your cuirent tempate and reinstall per teh CA Docker template:

go to

select teh template:

and hit the x to remove the tempalte:


then go to the apps page and install... Your making this more complcated then it actual is...

So "step 2 set teh continer name or image" has two options?

What determines the correct option in step 2 for my setup?

Dbrepair has not been installed in unraid docker, yet.

Sorry I hope I did not give the wrong information where my unraid plex is setup now. I don't understand completely. What exactly is the issue. When I installed Plex initially I used plexinc.

step 2 is optional stop trying to set it if you don't know...

Okay. I just like figure out what steps I need to take now to repair the database. Lot of information for me, I need to reassert where I am in the process and define what is my step by step scenario is now.

1. Need to install dbrepair app for my Unraid server. (Set configuration)

2. Run dbrepair app.

I am discovering some information. Just enough to get me a few steps to succeed I hope. Okay docker repositories are in two different forms; Images or Docker (format) I am reading the link information about both right now.

Also, looking into templates for docker containers. Trying comprehend the complex in a short period of time to fix my Plex database corruption. I wish I knew all that there is know to resolve this issue.

You're killing me here :/ ... I can't type to save my life...

correct I can't make it any simpler as I can't preset data I don't know... and don't have full data here no other info that i can use to fully clairfy and I can't assist anymore... GO ASK AI!

Also things your asksing are outlined in the template! Outlined Here mutiple times and expalined on the DOkcer hub and the unraid suprot post...
So I don't understand nor get your confusion... and IDK what your doing outside of not asking clear cut question... or not folwing basic instructions... too braod... not specfic enouth...

I don't know if you didn't use a template default data path to the plex media folder that contins the database files... PLEAS POST THE APPDATA FOLDER FOR YOUR PLEX FOLDER AND WHAT DOCKER IAMGE YOUR RUNNIGN!!!!
IDK which plex is your main plex IDK wher your data is And I don't need to know...

POST A DAM DIAG FILE!!! some one else will assit...

I don't know how your runnign plex. There are Many plex dockers. I prefer linuxserver per example...

Your caught up on a non problem due to the nature of how i programed the docker and the template based on a recomendation to supply what ever your plex dokcker repository docker image is... AND are in advacne seeting chaign things you shouldn't

SO AGAIN! So the plex match is litelr a "filter" of words to find what the filter catches and dockers to kill so the plex docker to ensure it is stoped. AS YOU WILL BREAK PLEX IF ITS ON AND THIS CONECT TO THE DATBASE TO REPAIR!!!
ALL it does, by this setting islooking for anything with "plex" per docker ps and KILL IT! so no plex is NOT running!

as my docker hub image/repoiostoy
https://hub.docker.com/r/bmmbmm01/plex-dbrepair
the unraid temaptel based on your edits NEEDS TO BE DESTORYED AND INSTALLED default settings... with only 1 change...

based on the unraid tmplate I've done a lot of YOu can't mess this up scripting in this docker... As IT will auto map the unraid docker sock to connect to be able to kil dockers, This will auto filter and kill any and all things named plex (with safe guards to not killl itself as the dbrepair image is called plex-dbrepair)...

This will auto run the dbreapir automatic unless you change the variables... LIKE DID YOU EVEN READ THE ORANGE! or tempate settings...

just set the appdata and click apply this auto does EVERYTHING FOR YOU! You ONLY AND just need to set the DB folder to the plex Libray folder... thats it...

PER YOOUR POST AND DATA HERE this should be:
/mnt/user/appdata/Plex-Media-Server

Otherwise YOU HAVE A DIFFENT DAT PATH TO THE DATABASE!

SO RECAP!!!
DEFUALT TEMPTE INSTALL CHANGE ONLY THIS!!! AND NOTHING ELSE!

CLICK APPLY


then open the docker/ continaer log of dbrepair... as THIS RUNS THE SCRIPT AND DBREPAIR APP!!!! LET it finish...

dbreapir automaticaly will run and repair the plex database...
See LOG THAT IT!

I litterly can't make it any simpler.... Ialso Can't gurantee a dbrepair will fix your isseus given basic docker and unraid tempatle setups... given teh issues here...

To assist further, I will not be back... Please Post the docker your trying to repaire SCREENSHOTS! and MY DOCKER LOGS based on the log I can infomr you what happened....!
Then i can assit further... as You shouldn't have to supply the plex OR EDIT THE repo... its recomen so only that gets killed. as if you have plex or if plex is in any other docker this Docker will KILL THEM! That all
