Plex Container not Starting after adding cache pool

I deleted your docker run screenshot since it contained your plex token.

Thanks. I'll reset the password once we are done as well.

Yes @trurl, these were the ones I had previously

  • DelugeVPN
  • Sonarr
  • Radarr
  • Bazarr
  • Jackett
  • Krusader
  • OpenVPN
  • LetsEncrypt
  • DuckDNS
  • Ombi
  • Grafana/InfluxDB/Telegraf
  • Tautulli
  • HDDtemp

For the above diagnostics, only Plex was running.

If you reinstall one of those, does it work?

Yes, all of them are starting. I tested 

  • Sonarr
  • Grafana
  • DelugeVPN

Torrents are resuming as normal

That indicates Unraid and its docker system is configured OK and working correctly, and I didn't see anything in diagnostics that would make me think otherwise.

 

So your plex is the problem. You are using the "official" plex docker, and it doesn't have a support thread on this forum. Have you asked for help on the plex forum?

 

You might try setting up another instance of plex and see if that one works. You would give it a different name and a different appdata path. You could even try a different plex docker. I personally use the linuxserver plex.

Hmm, Shall I try setting up a linuxserver-plex container. Once its setup, I then copy the old plex database to the new appdata location.

Also, Is there anything that I must do in order to make sure I haven't been exposed from port 22. I'm worried since there were few ssh and ftp logs. 

  • Community Expert

The log I first saw didn't have a successful ssh login, or even many attempts. Not sure about the ftp, but I think the builtin ftp only gives access to /mnt if I remember correctly.

 

How long were the ports open?

3-4 Days I would think. And the logs you saw was after a reboot. Since I rebooted when plex started crashing

Looks like my plex database is corrupt.
If I try copying just the database files from the old plex container to the new linuxserver container, the container fails to start.

Gonna recreate my database. Sigh.
What is the general procedure next time, when I want to change my cache pool? Planning on getting a drive for making it RAID0 cache pool

  • Author

Thanks. 
I took a backup of the appdata using CA Backup/Restore and then I'm gonna follow this https://wiki.unraid.net/Replace_A_Cache_Drive to add the new drive.
After that I'll do a balance with RAID0
