So I'm trying to get a Plex Plugin working and it says I should install Git.  Would this work, or is there another way and do I need it?  Does unraid already have it?

$ sudo apt-get install git-all

Docker or plugin?  If plugin, then Git is available within the nerdpack plugin.

 

If its a docker, then you're going to have to install it within the container itself

 

docker exec -it Plex /bin/bash

.

.

.

 

But updates to the container might trash any changes you make within it.

I use BinHex Docker for Plex.  I have the Nerdpack plugin but you say that won't work since I using a docker.

 

so do I type this 

$ sudo apt-get install git-all

Plex is installed under Appdata Plex Media Server

If something running within your docker requires something in order to run, then that prerequisite has to be installed within the docker.

 

If binhex's Plex has apt-get installed (depends upon the distro he chose), then you need to exec into the container (command I gave a post or two up) and then run the apt-get

oh ok so this

docker exec -it Plex /bin/bash   I assume it should be docker exec -Git Plex /bin/bash   I think  you missed the G

Nope.

is correct.

that didn't work

Error response from daemon: No such container: Plex

Use the exact syntax of the name of the container from the list of dockers in the GUI.

Probably binhex-plex

ok, now its says this 

 

[root@Tower /]#

Yeah, whatever commands it takes to install Git

At this point then, you've got to post in binhex's support thread about it, since it's now directly related to the distro that he's choosing to utilize, and he would be the best one to offer up suggestions / support

ok thanks

binhex uses arch, which doesn't use apt-get. I forget now what you do to install something in arch, but you can google it. I used to use an arch VM (from IronicBadger) for all my apps in early V6 betas, when VMs were Xen, and we didn't have docker yet.
