Cleanup Failed Plex Installation

I've just moved from OMV3 to OMV5 so I'm completely new to the concept of Docker and Portainer. I installed Docker and Portainer using the instructions in the PDF guide here. That all went fine. First cab of the rank was to Plex Media Server. I followed the technodadlife video here . It pretty much made sense as I was doing it. I hit the deploy button and waited, it ran for hours.. I thought it my be indexing my media as part of the install, so I left it.. When I woke up this morning my system drive was full... It seems like Portainer made over 300 images and that has consumed all my disk space. I can see in the Portainer GUI I can delete the images, is there anything else that needs to be done to cleanup before I reattempt the exercise?

Once cleaned up is there a way to workout what I did wrong? a log file or the like? The only variations I had from the video was using multiple media volumes for movies and also adding a transcoding folder which wasn't in the docker parameters list (but was in the video)..

The pics you posted are not legible.

Very sorry i tried to edit my original post, hopefully that's a bit better

As geaves already wrote, you can use the stack window in portainer and put the next compose-file in the web editor window and modify to your needs:

YAML

version: "2.1"
services:
  plex:
    image: linuxserver/plex
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - VERSION=docker
      - UMASK_SET=022 #optional
      - PLEX_CLAIM= #optional
    volumes:
      - /path/to/library:/config
      - /path/to/tvseries:/tv
      - /path/to/movies:/movies
    restart: unless-stopped

When deploying the stack, the container should run in a few minutes (not hours).

Thank you. I thought about this previously and saw it in a different thread. I don't understand the syntax for the volumes. How do specify the Plex library and the path in the same line? is it

/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Vol0/TV_Shows/:/tv 

Thank you I deployed it ok.

one more question, Can I have more than one folder on my shared disk pointing to the same Plex library i.e.

/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Vol0/TV_Shows/:/tv

/srv/dev-disk-by-label-Vol0/OLD_Shows/:/tv

if so what is the best way to modify the config in the container?

in the old version of plex I could do this from the PLEX web client but now I see the only available folders are the ones I put in the coffig file..

just change whatever is after the :, to whatever you name it.

/srv/../OLD_Shows/old_tv_shows This would make the directory show in plex as "old_tv_shows"

Excellent! I thought the part after the : had to be fixed folder name for plex... that's easy then

Whats the easiest way to make those updates in my container config using portainer?

Someone above mentioned using stacks, so if you used stacks, just edit the stack and click save, and it should deploy with the changes (i know this is works, but I'm having trouble remembering exactly how it's set up in the portainer UI, and I'm not near my server)

Yes I finally used the stack method and that went smooth so i'll go the route of editing the stack. It seems fairly intuitive

That was actually super easy. I stopped the container. Edited the stack with the web editor, clicked save and bingo.. The container was up running and all my changes were available from Plex so all good. Thanks for support, its taken a bit time to get used to the concepts.
