Hi,
I try to have Plex running on my OVM but I face multiple issues.
First i tried the Plex plugin which ran fine until i decided to update Plex Server (I know, never change a running system...) and I experienced the problem that plex would not want to start. I changed the plexmediaserver location in the config file to the right path but that did not help. I found a recommendation in the forum to not use the plugin and go for the docker plugin.
I followed this advice and now Plex runs but I have some strange and annoying behaviours you might know how to fix.
1. Everytime my linux restarts, the server is not found anymore when i open the plex webpage. Weired as the plex webpage runs on the server (IP) but it says it cannot find the server. I assume that the server did not correclty connect to plex service and that this is causing the problem. If I restart the container the problem goes away. Maybe starting docker later with systemd would help to fix. Any suggestions?
2. Way more annonying error. Everytime I modify the container, all my settings within Plex are lost. Eg. i have to completely reconfigure the server. Is there a way to store this information persistently? I have read/write access to plex/docker user to the host filepath where the library is stored
->Update: I realized that the library folder for docker is not named library but config - changed this and I assume this will fix the second problem. I will report back. But still, problem 1 persists (maybe it is related with problem 2) I keep you udpated
