Which plex docker are you trying to use?

I could never get the docker to work, so I'm still using the Phaze plugin that has worked for years.

The PHaZe plugins are no longer maintained, and you really should go for the Docker solution.

 

Do you have the plugin Community Apps (CA) installed?

If not, this is the first thing to do and the starting point of easy installation of whatever application.

@Snipedog It sounds like your inability to get a docker-based Plex implementation working is likely related to understanding and properly configuring container volume mappings.  This is VERY common with those new to Docker.  

 

There are many, many posts in these forums about properly configuring Docker container volume mappings.  Often these can be found in the support threads for the Plex container you chose.  There are three choices; Plex official, Binhex Plex and Linuxserver Plex (the one I use).  Volume mapping concepts are identical in all three and all three work well with just slight variations in container configuration.  Pick one and check out its support thread for more information.

Thank y'all for your help i switched over from the Plex Inc Docker to the Linux Plex Docker and was able to get everything to work.   The Linux one was much easier to set up.
