Hawkins Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 [SOLVED] I couldn't get the official plex docker container or limetech's to update to beta Plex Pass builds until I did this: Please test and report back, let me know if this solves anyone's problem. Quote Link to comment
WarDave Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 So I was using another version of plex and was having issues with it and saw the limetech version so I removed the plexmedia folder at my appdata/plexmediaserver directory. After I removed told old version and had the option checked to remove the img also, but the folder remained until I removed it myself. After that I tried to install the limetech version and it gives a error on install of /usr/bin/docker: Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/mnt/user/appdata/PlexMediaServer': mkdir /mnt/user/appdata/PlexMediaServer: no medium found. So I went to the /usr/bin/ folder and see that docker isnt a folder in this area. My last version of plex had its config mapped here /mnt/user/appdata/plexmediaserver . Also by default it doesnt have anything pointing to a config folder So I gave it one matching my old install of /mnt/user/appdata/plexmediaserver It didn't like that also. I have been having lock ups recently where it makes me cold reboot it and do a 14+ hour parity check three times so far this week. Every time I pulled up the process list plex had a cpu or two pegged most of the time. So figured my other version of plex "old one was needo/plex" that was doing it so figured I would switch over to this version. But this version seems to be a lot harder to configure vs the last one.

The image the pop up is talking about is the file(s) within the docker.img, not the appdata folder. To remove appdata (effectively start the app over again from scratch) you either remove manually or use a tool like cleanup appdata 3 hours ago, WarDave said: mkdir /mnt/user/appdata/PlexMediaServer: no medium found. So I went to the /usr/bin/ folder and see that docker isnt a folder in this area. My last version of plex had its config mapped here /mnt/user/appdata/plexmediaserver . Implies that something went seriously wrong on your server and the user shares were not available. Diagnostics would have helped here. 3 hours ago, WarDave said: So I went to the /usr/bin/ folder and see that docker isnt a folder in this area. My last version of plex had its config mapped here /mnt/user/appdata/plexmediaserver . /usr/bin/docker isn't a folder available to view over the network. I think you're confusing with /mnt/user/... 3 hours ago, WarDave said: Also by default it doesnt have anything pointing to a config folder /config mappings are hidden by default.

Possible, but unlikely that its directly related to Plex, unless you have other underlying problems with your system. 1 Quote Link to comment
WarDave Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Thanks for the info. I have attached my unraid diag zip. Ran fix common problems and fixed everything I could in the list. I was thinking about just blowing away my unraid install and starting from scratch but afraid I'm going to make a mistake and lose some of my data. unraid-diagnostics-20180319-0651.zip Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) IDK There's no corresponding errors in the syslog when that no medium found error happened. I'd simply reboot and go from there. Oh, and turn off debugging on the auto turbo mode plugin Edited March 19, 2018 by Squid Quote Link to comment

Most likely whatever problems you were having were user error. Most people change away from the limetech version since others are more up-to-date and better supported. 1 Quote Link to comment
WarDave Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 think it was this one Quote Link to comment

What problems were you having? Did you ever get it to work at all? If not then it is almost certainly a user error. Quote Link to comment
WarDave Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Rebooted and tried another plex docker and /usr/bin/docker: Error response from daemon: error while creating mount source path '/mnt/user/appdata/binhex-plex': mkdir /mnt/user/appdata/binhex-plex: no medium found. also as you can see it was binhex-plex's plex docker container. Tempted to clear out my unraid usb stick and my docker img and start over, but as I recall when I go to put the drives back into the array it will want to clear them or something as I recall but its been I while I forget how it does it. Just don't want to wipe out like 10 TB's of data on a mistake. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 And binhex plex is the other most used and most recommended, and lots of people are not having problems with it either. 1 minute ago, WarDave said: Tempted to clear out my unraid usb stick and my docker img and start over, but as I recall when I go to put the drives back into the array it will want to clear them or something as I recall but its been I while I forget how it does it. Just don't want to wipe out like 10 TB's of data on a mistake. There are ways to start over in this drastic manner, but it shouldn't be necessary and likely to end up in the same place. It is nearly impossible to screw up your entire unRAID install by playing with dockers, simply because unRAID doesn't really install like other systems you may be familiar with. It just unpacks the OS clean and fresh from the archives on flash into RAM on each boot. Fixing the mistakes you are making in setting this up is the best approach. Do you have any other working dockers? What are you using as a guide to set these up? Have you read the Docker FAQ? Quote Link to comment
WarDave Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 (edited) Well I'm not taking anymore of anyone's time on it, I reinstalled the docker I was using for plex in the first place and it installed with no issues, I just get errors on other peoples docker container versions of it. Odd stuff, but I will just TS myself and if I can't track down whats been making the server unstable lately I will just move to windows. It would be easier to troubleshoot at least. Thanks for all the suggestions and help Edited March 19, 2018 by WarDave Quote Link to comment

Can anybody help me about this issue? I'm on Unraid 6.5.0 and have the same issue - while the resillio sync container is running, disks won't spin down.

oconnellc Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 So, I figured out what is keeping my disks spun up... I have my Plex docker on a disk in my array. I don't remember what I did to put it there. How can I move it? I have a cache disk and so I have the configuration files there, but the docker.img file is still in my array. If anyone could point me to some instructions for moving, that would really help me out. Quote Link to comment

Settings - docker - disable the service Shares - select your shares for where the docker.img lives (defaults to system), and your appdata share. Set them to be use cache:Prefer Main - Array Operations - Move Now When mover is finished, re-enable the docker service Quote Link to comment

I have Sync Pro and noticed with the latest update 2.5.9 my scheduler was all wacky when it would sync. I logged into the docker and when I ran the 'date' command I noticed the time was about 8 hours off. The TZ="Americas/Los Angeles" is built into the template so I think the problem is with the container it self. Also noticed this in the log file of the container. dpkg-query: package 'tzdata' is not installed and no information is available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: tzdata is not installed *** /etc/my_init.d/config.sh failed with status 1 What can I do to help? I'd love to get my scheduler back on the correct date/time. Thanks! This is still an issue with the latest sync update. Could someone please look into it? Thanks Quote Link to comment
NewDisplayName Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) Is there a up to date tutorial for transcoding in RAM with this docker? I only found an old solution and im not sure if it works that way still. Do i n eed plex pass for it? edit: seems like is still working Is there a way to test? I testet transcode, which does work, RAM gets a little higher, so my guess is it works. Edited March 31, 2018 by nuhll Quote Link to comment

bonienl Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 There are known issues with Docker in version 6.5.0. These are resolved in the 6.5.1-RC version. It is recommended to use the latest RC version. Quote Link to comment
mkyb14 Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 anyone else today have plex become unresponsive? specifically, you cannot load it, stating plex is unreachable. Plex logs show nothing, system logs show nothing. Only thing I can point to us plex auto updating docker. checking to see if I'm not alone in this today . Accessing this locally as well. 192.168.x.x not over the public internet. Plex is not reachable. Make sure your server has an internet connection and any firewalls or other programs are set to allow access. Quote Link to comment
stlrox Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I am a newbie here. I installed Plex Media Server as a Docker container on unRAID 6.5.0 (Dell T30 Server) and everything installed with no issues. But when I browse to Plex WebUI then all I get this GUI. What am I missing here? Quote Link to comment
stlrox Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 I resolved my issue by following instructions from this link. https://quickbox.io/knowledgebase/setting-up-an-ssh-tunnel-for-plex/ This needs to be done from your local computer. Open PuTTY, enter your server IP address in the hostname and SSH port. Or, if you already have your server session setup and saved, just load the existing session. Go to “Connection > SSH > Tunnels“. Fill in “Source port” as “8888 and “Destination” as localhost:32400. Press the “Add” button. Now navigate back to the session homepage and press the “Save” button and then “Open” to connect to your server. Open a web browser from your local computer and navigate to http://localhost:8888/web <– type this is your browser exactly. You will see a notice such as this appear when you first go to your plex localhost link: Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup and add your media library. Now you can access your media libraries from all of your devices at http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:32400 . Quote Link to comment

jowi Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I'm running this PlexMediaServer docker for the first time; i've succesfully added tvshows from my tvseries share, now i want to add a library for my movies share (which contains only Bluray and UHD ISO's and BDMV folder structures, but it will only add 5 movies... there are about a 130. I've already ran the new permissions tool, thinking it might be that, but it doesnt help. I've read about the movie names being named wrong, the name should contain a year? But plex adds existing movies without a year in its name correctly, and others which contain a year, it skips. What am i missing here? Quote Link to comment
