July 29, 20205 yr  My Plex container appeared to crash and I cannot determine why or what the exact issue is. I am running unraid 6.8.3 and the latest version of plex. I have not seen any issues in the many months of running container.  [s6-init] making user provided files available at /var/run/s6/etc...exited 0.

Stopping Plex Media Server. kill: usage: kill [-s sigspec | -n signum | -sigspec] pid | jobspec ... or kill -l [sigspec]  Maybe I am not finding the right documents from past posts but from what I have gathered copying appdata (MEDIA01\appdata\PlexMediaServer) and deleting the current one can resolve the issue. If so, adding it back should work unless the data is corrupt in the first place.  UPDATE: Resolved. I had to use a past db files to resolve my issue. This was done through MC (Midnight Commander). See below for all that I did with the help of this great community.  Special thanks to all that helped me and help others. This was honestly the selling point for me to switch to unraid.

July 30, 20205 yr Author So while searching for an answer I found this: \\MEDIA01\appdata\PlexMediaServer\Library\Application Support\Plex Media Server\Logs Jul 29, 2020 17:18:59.818 [0x1510c829b700] INFO - Plex Media Server v1.19.5.3112-b23ab3896 - Docker Docker Container x86_64 - build: linux-x86_64 debian - GMT -05:00 Jul 29, 2020 17:18:59.818 [0x1510c829b700] INFO - Linux version: 4.19.107-Unraid, language: C Jul 29, 2020 17:18:59.818 [0x1510c829b700] INFO - Processor     Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2643 0 @ 3.30GHz Jul 29, 2020 17:18:59.818 [0x1510c829b700] INFO - /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server Jul 29, 2020 17:18:59.809 [0x1510d13cc740] DEBUG - BPQ: [Idle] -> [Starting] Jul 29, 2020 17:18:59.813 [0x1510d13cc740] DEBUG - FeatureManager: Using cached data for features list Jul 29, 2020 17:18:59.815 [0x1510d13cc740] DEBUG - Opening 20 database sessions to library (com.plexapp.plugins.library), SQLite 3.26.0, threadsafe=1 Jul 29, 2020 17:18:59.823 [0x1510d13cc740] ERROR - SQLITE3:(nil), 11, database corruption at line 66053 of [bf8c1b2b7a] Jul 29, 2020 17:18:59.823 [0x1510d13cc740] ERROR - SQLITE3:(nil), 11, database disk image is malformed in "PRAGMA cache_size=2000" Jul 29, 2020 17:18:59.824 [0x1510d13cc740] ERROR - Database corruption: sqlite3_statement_backend::prepare: database disk image is malformed for SQL: PRAGMA cache_size=2000  Seems like my database is corrupt.

July 30, 20205 yr Try changing the container path mapping from /mnt/user/appdata/PlexMediaServer to /mnt/diskX/appdata/PlexMediaServer where X is the disk number where appdata actually resides, if it's on the cache use /mnt/cache/appdata/PlexMediaServer

Where would I find the backup db files? I am searching... Â UPDATE:Â \\MEDIA01\appdata\PlexMediaServer\Library\Application Support\Plex Media Server\Plug-in Support\Databases Edited July 30, 20205 yr by Gobananas Found it
July 30, 20205 yr Author I am using https://support.plex.tv/articles/202485658-restore-a-database-backed-up-via-scheduled-tasks/ guide to restore the db. Per the image below I plan on removing the yellow highlighted and renaming the blue arrows but I cannot remove anything due to the permissions issue that I need to figure out now. I have created a backup of the whole folder as well. Edited July 30, 20205 yr by Gobananas spelling
July 30, 20205 yr Community Expert Do you have krusader installed? Or even easier, do you know how to use the builtin mc (Midnight Commander)? Best to work with appdata directly on the server rather than over the network.
July 30, 20205 yr Author Trurl,  I looked at both krusader and mc. MC was much easier for me. Thank you for that!  For anyone looking into this: open the command prompt in unraid and type mc. 1-10 for the interface options on the bottom are F keys. So F8 to delete and F6 to copy/rename.  I removed the files like mentioned above and used F6 to move the file to the same folder with the proper name. I used https://www.linode.com/docs/tools-reference/tools/how-to-install-midnight-commander/ to learn about it for the first time.  After I rename both files (blue arrows in my image a couple posts up) to the right name I started my container back up and it worked like a charm.  I hope this helps others in the future.
