I have tried to post in docker app, but no go. So I will post here.

 

I have tried creating several plex docker app's, Even created my own and it will not work

First thing I noticed -p32400:32400 does not forward the port.

And each docker app using docker exec -it  <name> bash  ... the logs are show any where from corrupt database, to restarting PMS over and over.

I have never had this much problem with a docker app before. But I can not get any form of plex working. I installed debian on vm w/ docker and plex worked the first time. Only thing differ i was using storage driver = overlay2 .

 

Does anyone have any ideas.  Want me to do something then send you my logs. I am really at a loss. And I finally have Sync'd disk after 2days 

 

I7700x cpu, 29TB 32GB ram, and I will send logs, just tell me what to do before i send the logs and I will do what ever. might even send you enough for some beer or pepsi.

step 1 install community apps 

 

 

step 2 use new apps tab to find/install plex (either from plexinc or the linuxserver)

 

step 3 beer me.

Are you doubled NAT'ed? (Server connected to a router connected to a modem with an integrated router).  If so you'll need to put your modem into bridge mode.

 

Plex run's as host mode, not bridge, so there's no point in adding / setting  any ports within the template at all...

 

Within Plex you can also manually specify the port which should open it up via UPNP

 

I am running other Dockers such as a home automation one, called homeseer, that I got from hub.docker.com. Homeseer. It's in bridge mode it shows up that the 3 ports are forwarded and all three work fine. I am using one from CA two called dokuwki on port 82. From cli i do docker ps , I see the forwarded ports like port 82 for that app.

 

So other docker apps are working fine. But not plex.

Also iptables -L never will show 32400 and the web gui never works.

If plex continually states Not Accessible Outside Your Network, try their help page

There is a sticky thread that explains this (and what you should do) in the Docker Containers forum. Always a good idea to consult the stickies.

 

OK the problem is not that i dont have outside access. The docker app is not working at all. Many Different Errors.. PMS restarting over and over, sqlitedb is corrupt, etc.

LImetech has sqlitedb corruption issue. linuxserver/plex has  "Error: Unable to set up server: sqlite3_statement_backend::prepare: disk I/O error for SQL".

 

So each one I try has different errors. But if I try them outside of unraid on a vm or on my local ubuntu box they work fine.

Plex is the only one that I have found that is giving me an issue I can not track down.

 

This is same after many tries. After removing them and trying again. something I am unclear with.

If you need to fix a corrupt database, see this page on the Plex website:
  https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201100678-Repair-a-Corrupt-Database 

But if you are still in the testing phase, I'd just delete your config folder and start over.

 

Speaking of which, what are you using for your config path?  If something like /mnt/user/appdata/plex/, try /mnt/cache/appdata/plex/ instead.

 

Plex really does run well on unRAID  The LinuxServer docker is a good option. 

Best course of action then is to delete the appdata folder (or when re-adding a template, make sure you select something that doesn't exist)

I have tried both options now many times. With the same result as if I did nothing. Same error messages.

I have tired not setting up  any media path's i have tried with and without forward ports, 

I have tried /config path inside a share outside ashare in the appdata with same results.  This is one thing I am doing with the others is I am mount to data outside of appdata to a share path. So i thought maybe it was a mapping issue.

 

But I am lost. This was one of the main things that would be running on this machine was Plex. Which is running on windows for god sake first time I have ever done that.

I cant tell anyone I know that is happening or off with the head. LOL

 

 

So I am going see where I can get with this or I might just have to turn this into something other than unraid. But I have come so far to turn back now. 

Probably best then to post your diagnostics and your docker run command and the logs from Plex as per here:
