I'm trying to download plex media server docker repository and it's throwing this error half way through the download and not letting me finish installing.  Please help if you can.

 

Command:root@localhost:# /usr/bin/docker run -d --name="PlexMediaServer" --net="host" --privileged="true" -e TZ="America/Phoenix" -v "/mnt/cache/appdata/plex/":"/config":rw -v "/mnt/user/TV Shows/":"TV Shows":rw -v "/mnt/user/Movies/":"Movies":rw -v "/mnt/user/Video2/":"Video2":rw needo/plex

invalid value "/mnt/user/TV Shows/:TV Shows:rw" for flag -v: TV Shows:rw is not an absolute path
See '/usr/bin/docker run --help'.

The command failed.

if you're inputting the paths by hand you need to "escape" spaces.

 

what that means is , if there is a space in a path name you need to put a \ before it so that the system knows the next character is part of the same path (ie the space) and not a new command or path.

To make things easier for yourself going forward, it's best to use a dash or underscore between two words in a path

hmm, if I just add the Movies folder, no spaces in that, it's doing the same thing.  Is there an easy way to rename shares?  It's not letting me rename them.

i see it now....

 

paths need to always start with a leading /

 

on the container side (the right of the : your paths are just Movies instead of /Movies

I have gotten into the habit of putting leading AND trailing /'s in all of my paths.

hmm, Plex web ui isn't connecting.  EDIT, nevermind I just tried it in IE with minimal plugins and it's working fine now.  Thanks for your help sparklyballs!!!!
