Plex server disappeared (I think it's related to a Portainer container)

I'm a newbie with this stuff but I have 2 servers running Plex. One is fine (different OS) and this one running OMV6 and running Plex in a Portainer Container has seemingly vanished from my servers list within Plex. However, I can successfully start the container, and even login to the Plex interface! So it makes very little sense to me. I'm at a loss on this and I am looking for any help I can get. My streaming library seems to be in tact just fine but for some reason, the server is not being recognized in Plex.

The reason I think it might be related to Portainer is when I attempt to recreate the container, I get an error (Failure no such host) and when I try to create another one I get another error (no such image).

If you installed Portainer from the omv-extras interface before version 6.3 you can follow this procedure. https://wiki.omv-extras.org/do…openmediavault-compose_67

I did notice that I could no longer find portainer in the menu anywhere...the only way to access it was to go directly to the URL. Are you saying that you believe this could be the reason that my server disappeared in Plex? I am planning on following your suggestion either way since I don't like that it disappeared but I am curious if this is what you think.

mmmm.. well, in the case of Plex it could affect you if you transcode with nvidia. In that case read this:

I doubt that could be the issue. The issue I am having is the server is not showing up in the plex interface at all, but I am logged into the plex interface using the ip:port of the plex instance running the server. It makes no sense to me. The setup has been working fine up until a couple of weeks ago when the server disappeared. I normally update plugins without even checking them. I suspect that I updated a plugin that did something.

Have you claimed the server?

Some other people suggested I do that. However, (AFAIK) you can only do that if it actually shows up in the Plex web interface.

Maybe yours media volumes are not documented in your stack?

I plan on actually putting some time into working on this today. Could you elaborate on how I could confirm this? Other than the configuration in the container in Portainer, I am not sure where it would be. Keep in mind that the tools that populate the storage volume used to Plex are working fine.

Good Grief. I went to follow the instructions in this tutorial and now I got this error trying to do the first step (install compose):

I have an update but it makes no sense still. Because of the resolve failures in the last error, I just changed from statid IP back to DHCP and voila, the server is showing up now after obtaining a different IP address. Make it make sense....
