Plex install on Portainer - problem with old config files

Zitat von Soma

How did you installed it on Portainer? You surely had to use a STACK (aka docker-compose.yml) to get it running.

And just because you changed your network adapter, it's no reason to it not having network.

As long as the network is running on the host (if you can update for eg.), docker will use the underlying network.

If I were a betting man, I'd say there's either a Plex app in Portainer (maybe, I dunno). or he just downloaded the image and tried to configure it manually.

I've never had much luck w/ the Portainer apps, so I rarely recommend them.

My Portainer is pissed off. I moved from Eth to Wifi. Put the cable back in, but can't seem to move the network to a new subnet. Eth is 172... and Wifi is 192....

Found the compose - just want to start over.

Use a codebox when posting docker-compose/stack files. Indentation matters and won't show up in a regular cut/paste.. That's the one that looks like </>

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

In portainer, click on Stacks, Add a new stack, and name the stack ( "plex" )

Copy/paste the above codebox into the box

PUID/PGID -- Add yours for your system.. if you don't have a user on your system, create one. If you have a user and don't know how to get this info, ask

/path/to/library:/config --- This is the /config directory where plex stores it's configuration files. On the left of the colon, is the absolute path to the folder you want to use for plex's config folder, on the right of the colon, is the container path..

example: /srv/dev-some-uuid/AppData/plex:/config

so in that example, /srv/dev-some-uuid/AppData/plex would be the folder on your system where you're storing your plex configs. /config.. would be the path inside the plex app you would look for.

Repeat with tvseries and movies.

Once you know it's all correct.. I'd suggest pasting it here so we can take a look at it to see if there's any glaring issues... or if you feel like just rolling with it, click deploy stack... It will download and install plex per the docker-compose.

When it's done, go to <your-ip>:32400/web and you should have the welcome to Plex screen.

/path/to/tvseries:/tv -- Again, same thing. On the left, is the absolute path with the

Sigh

Do not use the admin user UID. It will cause problems in the future. Create a proper user and use it's UID

No. GUI. Under “Users”.

Ok, been Googling, whats the proper way to adduser? Command line?

You can add a user in the webUi very easily.
