lionceau Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 How does this container relate to the official Plex Docker container going forwards? Starting from a fresh unRAID install, should I pick this or the official Plex image? Quote Link to comment
saarg Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 How does this container relate to the official Plex Docker container going forwards? Starting from a fresh unRAID install, should I pick this or the official Plex image? Choose the one you feel fits most for you. Plex based their container on ours, but they are still two completely separated containers. For every day use, you shouldn't see any difference with any of the two. Quote Link to comment

I think the better question to ask is who will support you better, and who will stay current better. I honestly don't know the answer, as I've never dealt with plex official support, if there is such a beast. (disclaimer, I don't use plex, I use emby) Quote Link to comment
adammerkley Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Am I crazy or does mapping /transcode to /tmp work again? Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 It will, but I don't think the opinion of transcoding to memory has changed from Plex, as in it's not recommended. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
mclea Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 system set up - Qnap TVS-471, up to date 4.3.2, then inside container station ive been trying to install plex media server a few ways with out luck: 1-linuxserver/plex installed, and i tried these settings, network NAT, and mounted the movies folder in the advanced settings, ie /movies:/movies, when i click the link to browse to the NAT Ip for PLex server, the web app cant find the server to start the settings. 2 - if I change the settings from NAT to either HOST or BRIDGE, i can get to see the server, but then come across the issue or settings cannot be saved issue. anyone as came across these issues?, if not maybe send me a quick install directions if im missing something. Thank you. Quote Link to comment

Thank you. From the first post in this thread: If you are not using Unraid (and you should be!) then please do not post here, rather use the linuxserver.io forum for support. Quote Link to comment

J.Nerdy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Good Evening: I can not browse to my new docker install via ip:32401 (it is a second plex server) I have host to container ports bridged 32401 to 32400 both TCP and UDP. The connection is refused when browsing to it from chrome/edge on win10 Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Can you post your docker run command for both instances of Plex assuming they're both on unraid. Link in my sig. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
J.Nerdy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 One is running on AMAHI (I am migrating to unRAID as replacement). It is running on local server:32400 From my unRAID box: root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name="plex" --net="host" -e TZ="America/New_York" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e "PUID"="99" -e "PGID"="100" -e "VERSION"="latest" -e "TCP_PORT_32401"="32401" -e "UDP_PORT_32401"="32401" -v "/mnt/user/MOVIES/":"/media/movies":rw -v "/mnt/user/TV/":"/media/tv":rw -v "/mnt/user/appdata/plex":"/config":rw linuxserver/plex 9ba344fefab8b30d8cc4492e829b513ce2ac74a23d50632440e20b9a8c25ac3b Also, I have ssh'd into the unRAID box, digging around hopping to find a .conf and see if there was anything commented out that would help...but I am assuming the containerization stores runtime conf differently? I couldn't find anything written to cache (/appdata), or on boot cfg Quote Link to comment
CHBMB Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 As the container runs as host, you can't remap ports. Try accessing it on 32400. Even if it were possible, it wouldn't work the way you've defined it anyways. Take a look at the docker faq. Quote Link to comment

Still can not hit the web guI EDIT: I am new to shell and unix commands, so I apologize in advance... I tried checking if port was open from ssh: and it appears that 32400 is closed on unRAID box.

CHBMB Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Try a different browser or clear your cache etc. The port does not need to be defined. The template as it's published works just fine. No need to change anything. For reference here's my docker command. May be worth shutting down your other Plex instance for testing too. docker run -d --name="plex" --net="host" -e TZ="Europe/London" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -e "PUID"="99" -e "PGID"="100" -e "VERSION"="latest" -v "/mnt/user/movies/":"/movies":rw -v "/mnt/user/tv/":"/tv":rw -v "/mnt/user/music/":"/music":rw -v "/mnt/cache/.appdata/plex":"/config":rw linuxserver/plex Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 The port does not need to be defined. I guess I had the port configuration still in it due to historical developments. Removing it confirms your statement above. Ps. Now I remember why I added in the config... it will show up as port assigned to Plex under "deployed host ports". Quote Link to comment
