March 30, 201610 yr Community Expert After updating to the latest stable release of unRAID, you use Community Applications to choose the Plex docker you want. I recommend the one from linuxserver.io Do I need to set-up a Container first? Does not compute. Each docker is a container. What did you think it meant?
March 30, 201610 yr Community Expert Actually, before adding a docker (container), create a User share named appdata and set it to Use cache disk: Only.
March 30, 201610 yr Author Actually, before adding a docker (container), create a User share named appdata and set it to Use cache disk: Only. Already had an appdata share; but I'll need to make some changes. This obviously; anything else? BTW...thanks for hanging with me tonight trurl!

Sorry; it looked different, before I rebooted. Like that "bridge" selection, etc.
March 30, 201610 yr Community Expert You need to get appdata off all your other drives. Is there anything in it you want to keep? If not the simplest thing is just to delete all the files and folders in it. Do you "Midnight Commander"? Then set it to cache-only. Probably don't need to export it. I actually do export hidden on mine (same as my flash drive). Then nobody will know it's there unless they ask for it.

Is that what I have to do?
March 30, 201610 yr Community Expert mc is probably the best way to make sure you delete everything. If you try to do it from Windows you might miss hidden stuff or run into permission/ownership issues. Using Midnight Commander as root will let you do anything (careful ).

March 30, 201610 yr Community Expert I meant for you to delete its contents. Does it still appear on your User shares page? If so stop then restart the array and see if it goes away.

March 30, 201610 yr Author Actually, before adding a docker (container), create a User share named appdata and set it to Use cache disk: Only. OK...so now do the above??
March 30, 201610 yr Community Expert Don't exclude or include any disks. Just set it to Use cache disk: Only. Not yes, not no, Only.

March 30, 201610 yr Author Gotta call it a night I think; might pop back, and try to finish out the home s t r e t c h
March 30, 201610 yr From Page 3: OK, here's how I would install this if working from scratch (on 6.1.9): 1. Setup a cache drive. [DONE] 2. Add 'appdata' as a cache-ONLY share. [DONE] 3. Enable docker, point docker.img to /mnt/cache/appdata 3b. Install the Community Applications plugin 4. Install linuxserver.io Plex docker (my preference) 5. Set /config >> /mnt/cache/appdata/plex 6. Set media folders (i.e. /movies >> /mnt/user/movies) 7. Set /transcode >> /mnt/cache/appdata/plex (ensures plex doesnt fill docker.img with transcodes) 8. Save and start Plex docker. perform basic initialization steps (i.e. sign in, setup preferences, etc.). Don't forget to set your transcode dir in Plex to /transcode 9. Setup meta data agents 10. Setup media libraries / folders 11. Open router config, forward port 32400 to unraid server 12. Set plex to manual port forward (uPNP times out and disables remote access in my case) 13. Enjoy life. I think that covers it all from what I can recall.

I'm not sure how much it'll matter; but I've gotten so comfortable with MC at this point...what the hell, lol. I deleted docker.img, and will re-enable to /mnt/cache/appdata DONE] 3b.

March 30, 201610 yr Author Click "Add Path" Oh, duh. K. Thx OK; go for it, and launch that create button??
March 30, 201610 yr No, click 'add path' again as I dont think that one is saved yet. Then just leave the 4th blank and click 'create'
