July 29, 20169 yr I am using the limetech template This is the install screen Pulling image: limetech/plex:latest IMAGE ID [latest]: Pulling from limetech/plex.

Status: Downloaded newer image for limetech/plex:latest TOTAL DATA PULLED: 117 MB Command: root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name="PlexMediaServer" --net="host" --privileged="true" -e TZ="America/Phoenix" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -v "/mnt/cache/appdata/PlexMediaServer":"/config":rw limetech/plex ab4cf9ca715812170bbcd19a79e6b57a8774c8ea3e40083b30ffc37c7e33791f The command finished successfully! But i have two other paths set that aren't there and I can't access them from inside the plex web gui In Shares the setting for the two paths i added past the auto added config are as follows One is set to my mnt/ user/media folder it is set to use all disks and cache YES export yes security public the other to a mnt/user/Transcode folder is set to cache only export yes security public When i go into my plex web ui i get the following folder access /var/lib/plexmediaserver plex / mqueue config data resolv.conf hostname hosts the only folder more than one deep is this path /config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server My only conclusion is for whatever reason it won't mount any additional paths, i have tried editing and adding them after but to no success. I have looked for guides and troubleshooting stuff and they all just tell me how to add volumes, and to make sure my transcode and config folders are cache only. I also haven't seen any guides on the network settings inside the plex GUI, maybe i'm blind, that is a possibility but i have off and on looked for several days and not seen my issue or a solution to my issue. HELP! (I just tried to attach the log and it's too large 400kb) i'll past it if someone wants
July 29, 20169 yr Community Expert According to the docker run command ... root@localhost:# /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.docker.manager/scripts/docker run -d --name="PlexMediaServer" --net="host" --privileged="true" -e TZ="America/Phoenix" -e HOST_OS="unRAID" -v "/mnt/cache/appdata/PlexMediaServer":"/config":rw limetech/plex the /config folder is all you have mapped. Are you using paths like mnt/... as you say here? ... One is set to my mnt/ user/media folder the other to a mnt/user/Transcode folder Those paths don't exist. You must put / in front of the mnt, like /mnt/...
July 29, 20169 yr same question answered with a pic. You need to map your shares for the docker to see them. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=50277.msg482870#msg482870
July 29, 20169 yr Interesting. Can you switch to advanced view in the top right, then hit edit on one of those and post the screen shot.
July 29, 20169 yr We don't need the screen grab. You haven't mapped your folders so the Plex container can see them. Look at Step 7 here. PS. In the future, post support questions in the pre-created thread for the container you're using. See the sticky here. It means the people in the best position to support you are more likely to see it and others who need help with the same container are more likely to learn from previous issues and it saves spamming the board with similar problems. Your's is a common problem amongst those new to docker containers. EDIT: My bad, just saw you're having problems adding extra mappings. The "PS" still is good advice though.
July 30, 20169 yr Doesn't look to me like a problem with Plex but more how the container is setup originally. So, just to clarify, you can't add any more volumes via the docker webui?

Yeah, the existing screen shot is perfectly valid with proper mappings AND a description present. But its not valid if no description is present. Hence my req for a screen shot
July 30, 20169 yr Author As requested new screens i went into adv view expanded it so it shows the config path and opened up a edit on the media folder. Also to note under deployed host ports the pms one is red. adding a couple screens to this and another post after for extra info
July 30, 20169 yr You need to set a container path (like CHBMB said). Something like /Media You will then find your media files within /Media inside Plex
July 30, 20169 yr Author last one Also will do on the post i didn't notice the sub forum when i went to post, but i'll definitely make sure next time
July 30, 20169 yr Author Thanks squid, the issue was definitely the container vs host. I was putting the path in host because the container field wouldn't search my folder paths so i thought for whatever reason that field was for the config only I just got it to work. Thanks everyone!
July 30, 20169 yr No, there's no problem, you haven't set it up correctly. In your post here where you've edited the container you need to fill a value in for "container volume" ie a mount point INSIDE the docker container. I would suggest /media
July 30, 20169 yr I think we all learned something here. I never really realized that dockerMan would allow you to enter incomplete information on the edit screen and not complain, and everyone learned that you can't take the label underneath the host mapping at face value because a description if entered will be displayed instead.

July 30, 20169 yr Author Thanks again guys, working great. That makes the docker set up make sooo much more sense to me.
