Thanks for your help.

 

I restarted the server and saved the logs for docker and tower itself. I can see an error within the tower log. But it doesn't tell me anything. My docker is part of the cache drive (Image).

Wrong thread. You are using limetech's plex docker, not linuxserver.io's

 

And according to the logs, you are using a mounted share (/nas/music) which fails to mount when plex is attempted to be started

You need to mount the share from your nas (/nas/music) using the Unassigned Devices plugin and then point it to that (would be something like /mnt/disks/nas/music)

I gotta ask...

 

Whats in the weekly updates?

Seems like every Friday night (yes I know thats the schedule) there is an update for every docker container.

But what actually changes?

The applications are updated to the latest versions. (AFAIK even if the application doesn't have an update, the container still issues template updates)  For change logs, etc you would have to check the applicable project pages.

I am in the process of setting up a duplicate of my unRAID NAS and would like to know how to move my Plex settings and metadata over from the old array to the new one.

 

Both machines are running unRAID 6.3.5. Both have the movies in exactly the same folder structure as I have already duplicated the media. Both are actually running the exact same Dockers (Plex and Krusader). Once I have migrated Plex over to the new array, the old one will have the Plex Docker stopped.

 

Is there a guide or FAQ that has this information?

Make sure you keep the mount points and the folder locations the same and it will be fine. I think I moved my plex install about 3 times over the last couple of years. No issues

Hi,

 

I'm in need of a little help with Plex and I hope that you can help me :)

I'm not sure why but for some reason I can't access my Plex server locally (via plex.tv works) and I get the following error:

Chrome on port 32400: ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE

Chrome on port 32401: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Firefox on port 32400: Unable to connect

Firefox on port 32401: The connection was reset

I've also setup apache docker so I can access my docker container via Internet.

 

Is this normal or should I be able to access my Plex server via the LAN address?

 

Thank you!

Doesn't Plex have some sort of metadata file with the thumbnails and tags that you picked for your movie collection? Where does that reside?

 

So far I have moved over the movies themselves and installed a fresh Plex docker onto the new NAS.

 

All the plex aplication data should be under the /config folder that you set in container settings

A fresh plex docker will be fresh; i.e., none of the media has been scanned into the library, there is no metadata, etc. 

 

The plex appdata from your old server has all of that. You should be able to just copy it over if your fresh plex docker is configured exactly the same and all of the media has exactly the same path.

Are you on the same network subnet as the plex server? Are there vlans involved? 

Post the container settings (screenshot) and which ip you're using to connect to it

So far I have moved over the movies themselves and installed a fresh Plex docker onto the new NAS.

What I would do is use the Appdata backup plugin to make a backup of your appdata onto the new server's cache drive (mount it with unassigned devices).  This will maintain all the symlinks, etc that Plex uses extensively that won't get copied correctly if you simply copy over a network or cut / paste via Windows.

Anyone have any idea why i'm getting this error in my logs? It happens every now and then when mover runs.

It makes my webui inaccessible, takes all my dockers offline but then after mover is finished everything comes back online

Here is a way to do it assuming you already have linuxserver container running on your server:

1. go to: \\Tower\flash\config\plugins\dockerMan\templates-user

2. copy my-plex.xml to my-k-plex.xml

3. edit the new xml file and change line tree and four per below and save


  <Name>k-plex</Name>
  <Repository>kmcgill88/k-plex</Repository>

4. Stop your current linuxserver docker container and add a new container using the k-plex template that you just created.

5. After the container is running follow the instructions from https://hub.docker.com/r/kmcgill88/k-plex/

6. Done.

 

Enjoy and send your thanks to linuxserver, kmcgill88 and erikkaashoek.

 

 

 

How can this be undone? Are there any files I need to delete? Edit it the docker and re-entered the linuxserver/plex as repository but now my media wont play.

This is the error I get

If I switch back to the kmcgill88/k-plex repository playback works fine.

Probably should've taken a backup of your data. Maybe try starting the container from fresh?
