January 28, 201610 yr WHen the Plex container first starts it can take some time to actually start working depending on Plex updates and permission changes. What does the Docker log for plex say? I think this is a blocked port issue; I can't hit unserver:32400...so my machine, not the FireTV can find the PLEX server. The question is...at least for this noob; is why? Why...all of a sudden?? This looks like the syslog, not the log for that specific docker container. Click on the container's icon and you will get a popup with a few choices, one of these being the log for that container. Just realized you have named your server the same as I did, right down to the lower/upper case.

January 28, 201610 yr You're right that doesnt, BUT the actual syslog has something I'd like to look into.... Why is docker0.IPv4 being assigned an IP address? Do you have the docker config set to Bridge or Host?

Do you have the docker config set to Bridge or Host? I'm almost positive, Host; but it's here...isn't it. Settings > Docker? This looks different to me, and doesn't have that drop-down anymore??
January 29, 201610 yr No, it will be in the edit for the Plex Docker container in the Docker tab He's got it set as Host in previous picture. I'd completely remove Plex as well as it's container. Then from a command line run: docker rmi $(docker images -q --filter "dangling=true") Then reinstall the container. Wait a bit for the container to load. You can watch using the log by clicking the piece of paper looking icon to the far right of the plex container.
January 29, 201610 yr No, it will be in the edit for the Plex Docker container in the Docker tab Thanks...
January 29, 201610 yr As an aside, you're running Plex from Limetech's repository, not from LinuxServer's

January 29, 201610 yr As an aside, you're running Plex from Limetech's repository, not from LinuxServer's So I'm in the wrong thread?
January 29, 201610 yr As an aside, you're running Plex from Limetech's repository, not from LinuxServer's So I'm in the wrong thread? Technically, yes... But no one from lsio would refuse you assistance. They're just that good a bunch of guys (well, most of them at least)
January 29, 201610 yr Guys, I'm sorry; will someone take mercy on me...walk me back, and forward through this. One step at a time? I thought I removed the PLEX and the container; then re-installed. But seriously...Docker, Container; man...it's all new to me. GREAT; I can't believe, the leaps and bounds 6 has taken. But the curve has me swinging and missing (to reiterate...I had the damn thing working, and streaming f-ing movies and everything! Just don't know, where things got fouled up...or how to correct them).
January 29, 201610 yr Haven't particularily been following your problems, but if it WAS working and now its not and something's buggered along the way what I would do is Delete the container and image Delete the appdata folder Restart the server just for good measure Add the linuxserver.io version through CA (do NOT select a template via the drop down) - (If nothing else, this will give you a container that is better supported than LT's) On the template page fill in your volume mapping again Once you can get to the webUI (it'll take awhile after it downloads due to updates, etc), make sure that Plex says that its accessible to the outside world) You'll be back to square one, but its a fresh start.

Thanks Squid. But I'm a visual guy; so I'll post pictures STEP 1, yes?

January 29, 201610 yr whoa whoa whoa....why are the port mappings blank!? (see background of that img). Should be 32400:32400 no?
January 29, 201610 yr whoa whoa whoa....why are the port mappings blank!? (see background of that img). Should be 32400:32400 no? And...I think I need something here too... But at this point...are we going to try and fix it; or back it out, and re-install the right way?
January 29, 201610 yr There are no port mappings for Network type: Host You need another volume mapping for your media. Go back and review your own post history.
January 29, 201610 yr And you're adding Limetech's version again. Don't select anything with the dropdown select template and install the linuxserver version through CA
January 29, 201610 yr And you're adding Limetech's version again. Don't select anything with the dropdown select template and install the linuxserver version through CA OK; do I still remove the container and image first? Then...re-trace my steps?

Yes OK...and the reason I asked, is I did it once before; and got the same result this time. But...PLEX is gone.
January 29, 201610 yr Since that was your only docker might as well start clean by recreating your docker.img
January 29, 201610 yr Since that was your only docker might as well start clean by recreating your docker.img Sorry?? I'll try this http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=38323.0 Delete button is greyed-out. Man, do I feel like I am ALL jacked-up at this point.
January 29, 201610 yr See Step 1: Delete your previous image file May look slightly different than that old post but that's basically the idea.
