Newbie running plex setup having issues (server disappeared)

Hello all. Apologies for my ignorance but I have 2 home streaming servers for Plex. One is running a different OS and is fine, but this server is running OMV6 and has been running fine up until today. I'd forgotten to set a static IP so it grabbed a new IP address. I set this server up a while back and I cannot even remember how to get to the Plex configuration, which was running in a container somewhere. The issue is simply that Plex apparently is loaded, as I can access the interface from this servers' IP address, but it is not showing the server in Plex at all. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this is the wrong location for this, I wasn't sure where it should go since it's really just Plex specific.

hello, maybe the Docker container needs to claim the Plex token, see here https://www.plexopedia.com/ple…ver/general/claim-server/

In Docker compose you can enter it as an environment variable:

Code

version: "3.6"
services:
  Plex:
    container_name: plex
    environment:
      - "PLEX_CLAIM=**********"
      - "VERSION=latest"

thank you for the suggestion. I will check that out. It's just so weird how the server just vanished from Plex but it is obviously still there if I can access the Plex interface from the IP.

I read through the link and it appears that in order to claim the server, you have to have it selected. My issue is that the server no longer appears at all in plex, even though I am signed into my plex account on the server URL in question. I am running Plex through a Portainer container. Do I still need to try the token, even though the server is not listed as an option to claim?

Bump - anybody have any ideas? I am truly at a loss.
