trurl Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Actually, before adding a docker (container), create a User share named appdata and set it to Use cache disk: Only. Quote Link to comment
CDLehner Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 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! Quote Link to comment

Sorry; it looked different, before I rebooted. Like that "bridge" selection, etc. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment

I actually do export hidden on mine (same as my flash drive). Then nobody will know it's there unless they ask for it. I do not need anything, in appdata; I want this to be as clean a re-start as possible. I did MC, a while back; but would have to refresh. Is that what I have to do? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 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 ). Quote Link to comment

OK; I used MC, to delete the appdata user-share. Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Don't exclude or include any disks. Just set it to Use cache disk: Only. Not yes, not no, Only. Quote Link to comment

mr-hexen Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment
