Docker Request (Plex Request)

[wickedathletes]

Not sure if some of the brilliant minds here would be able to get this working on unRAID, it was written in Django/Python and is a web site to allow users to request films to be added to your Plex library.

More specifically the beta branch as it supports Sonarr and Sickbeard as well as CouchPotato.

This is very interesting. Even though I am a plex user, I was not aware of this app.

 

I got this to work in my docker dev environment. I'll whip up a public container and put it in my repo. I'll let you know here so you can test it.

Awesome sir

It's up on my repo. Seems to work fine and the settings persist through restarts and updates. Let me know if you notice any issues.

Installing now, did you end up using the beta or the release of Plex Requests?

[aptalca]

It installs the stable version, but over the next couple of days, I'll probably add an "EDGE" variable setting to install the dev branch.

thanks, ya it looks good and works smoothly. The only real requests I would have is to make sure it has updatability via a stop/restart if that is possible (like needo's plex) or at least some how outside of you needing to update on your end.

 

Let me know when you update it, I will gladly keep an eye on it and beta test!

 

Suppose you have no desire to take a stab at getting Plex Report to work do you? smdion was working on it but it doesn't work at the moment (cron job never runs, the setup doesn't actually setup Plex Report like it should). Figured I would mention it

Got it up and running. Setup Pushbullet for notifications (no couchpotato yet). Works great for me here inside my network. How do I expose it to my users outside my network?

You would need to use dynamic DNS or give them your outside IP with a port forwarded on your router

Good to hear it works.

 

Right now, it should already update to the latest master/stable upon start (I believe meteor updates itself and the container does a git pull for Plex requests).

 

I'll take a look at smdion's Plex report

Yup,

 

You can use the duckdns container for dynamic dns and forward the port on your router to the container

This is probably a really dumb question, so bare with me but how do I foward a port to the container if the container doesn't have a port setup? I used your docker. Do I want to setup a port mapping for DuckDNS docker as well first?

This works great!  Thanks.

No. Duckdns has no ports to map. It doesn't receive any incoming connections. It only makes an outbound connection to duckdns.org to update your ip. After that your duckdns.org domain acts as a forwarding domain to your home ip.

 

Go to duckdns.org and register a domain. Then install the duckdns container on unraid and enter your domain name and api id in the conf file for the unraid duckdns docker container. After that, the duckdns container will update duckdns.org with your ip address every 5 minutes.

 

So if you use address yourdomain.duckdns.org:3000 the request will be forwarded to youripaddress:3000 (in this case replace 3000 with the port you used for plex requests)

 

You also have to make sure that your router will forward that request at port 3000 to your internal unraid ip address.

ahhh, makes sense. Now if I wasn't dealing with the fact that docker can't connect to the outside world in RC2 I might be able to test this

[interwebtech]

thanks for the tips... got it live on the interwebs now

[aptalca]

Just pushed an update to Plex Requests

 

You can now switch to the dev branch by changing the EDGE variable to 1 under advanced view (Going back to stable may not be simple, though)

thanks, just in time for stable to have been fixed with Sonarr etc etc. Seriously though, this is awesome, I know people on the Plex forums are talking about it already!

Hi aptalca,

 

i just came across your docker-pled Request and already tried to install it, but by any reason i'm not getting it running.

It's actually giving me problems to open the GUI after installing it.

It's just not opening it.

 

I'm on unRAID 6 rc3

[aptalca]

What do the logs say? Are you using edge?

Do you have any other dockers working successfully?

[mkeil77]

Hi,

no idea why but I tried it just again and it's working now.

I noticed that if I restart the docker it seems to take quite some time until I can open the gui.

 

Now everything works perfect.

 

Matt

[mkeil77]

ok new problem,

 

now it does not allow me to login to the admin page, "Incorrect Password"

And i'm 110% sure its correct 

 

Matt

 

[aptalca]

You might have to create a ticket on plexrequests-meteor's github or ask in their Plex thread.

 

If you want to reset all the settings and start over, you can either delete the local folder and restart the docker, or you can reinstall the docker with a different app folder location. Then you can go to the admin page and set a password

[CHBMB]

Am I being stupid? But where is the admin page?  Just get the Plex Requests web page with movies and tvseries.

 

Have tried both the stable and now the dev branches.
