Getting Phlex to work

[benflux]

I've got various docker images running and they're great but I can't get phlex to work - anyone tried it? It's voice control of plex via Google Home:

I used the docker a few months ago and it was working no problem. Then I redid it this week and issues. Out of about 100 restarts of it only one time did it actually get to the web interface. I get failed to bind to port 80 in the logs.   I am pretty sure you have to run it as host. Also, privledged is required.

when I put it in as a docker repository and then create a container, it doesn't even appear in the list. That's how far I got!

[hackztor]

just go through community applications (plugin). A lot easier.

I also tried to get this to work as well but keep getting error in my logs. Not sure why it's using port 80 even though I specified to use a different port.

nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address in use)

nginx: [emerg] socket() [::]:80 failed (97: Address family not supported by protocol)

Has anyone gotten this to work? I have been trying for almost a month and have never even seen the webUI. I have it set to host and privileged and no dice.

Same here. Nothing. Is the developer a member here?

Seems the creator is having issues as well. He's asking for help below.

I've gotten this to work by installing an instance of nginx and extracting a copy of the Phlex zip into the www folder.

I've been trying this morning for the first time to install this with no joy - any advice?

 

Thanks

chalk me up as having tried and failed to get Phlex running. Hoping there is an update.

I managed to get https://app.phlexchat.com/ working, but there's no way currently to say 'play on living room tv' or 'play on kitchen tv', so it's not much use to me yet.  Worked fine otherwise though

I am also experiencing this issue. Cannot get Phlex to start due to nginx: [emerg] bind() to 0.0.0.0:80 failed (98: Address in use) issue.

This error just repeats over and over indefinitely. 

 

I was able to get Phlex working for a while and it worked like a dream, but suddenly it stopped. No system or App changes made. Unraid itself is using port 80. This is the only thing I can I think of that would be causing this bind error. 

 

Tried changing docker to privileged, no fix

Tried uninstalling / reinstalling app, no fix

Tried installing a different version of Phlex, no fix

Tried restarting Unraid Server, no fix

Removed all non-essential Apps, no fix

Made sure digitalhigh Phlex is running latest version, no fix

Tried changing Port, no fix

 

I've run out of troubleshooting steps. Any ideas?

Hi - I got it working by changing the ngix file called "default" located in config/nginx/site-confs

 

I changed the ports from 80 and 443 to 5666 and 5667 at the top of the file :-

 

server {
    listen 5666 default_server;

    listen 5667 ssl;

I just set the networking to bridge and remapped 443 to 4443 on the host.
