Hi and thant you for your work.

I come to you because I have this error :
Error in command line:the argument for option '--serverUuid' should follow immediately after the equal sign

when I run the command :
docker run -d --restart=always --name plex -v /media/WD:/media --net=host jaymoulin/plex

for information : "/media/WD" is the path to my hard drive.

I don't know how can i resolve this.

A old version of your docker work fine before i change RPi.

Thant you in advance.

Romain

You've made last commit 2 hours ago and the newer images are pouring into Docker Hub one by one. It would be really nice if we can see what's the progress of the images being built.

If you're using CI, please add a link to that on GitHub and/or Docker Hub.

Hi there,
I've recently pulled jaymoulin/plex for rpi3, booted without any issue (docker logs shows only this)

3000 /root/Library/Application Support
8192
Error in command line:the argument for option '--serverUuid' should follow immediately after the equal sign
Crash Uploader options (all are required):
--directory arg Directory to scan for crash reports
--serverUuid arg UUID of the server that crashed
--userId arg User that owns this product
--platform arg Platform string
--url arg URL to upload to
--help show help message
--version arg Version of the product

Went to the web and what I see is plex web interface but in the top left corner there is "Looking for servers..." dialog with spinning wheel. No idea how to pass that and/or why it is not seeing rpi3 as a media server.
Have you got any clue maybe?

EDIT:
Also in logs I've found:
WARN - HTTP error requesting POST http://127.0.0.1:32600/devices/discover (0, No error) (Failed connect to 127.0.0.1:32600; Connection refused)

This docker image will always install the latest Plex Media Server.
Please use a Dockerfile that installs only a stable version

What is the procedure to update the PMS image?

Hi @jaymoulin ,

I followed the steps you mentioned on issue #29
and they worked, but the new container is identified as a different Plex server which makes things much more complex (e.g. sharing content).
Do you know if there's any way to solve that?

Thanks!

Hi :)

I've try to start your container on my Pi3. The web port 32768 is available but the server to 32400 port is not found.

I've try with docker-compose :

version: 3
services:
    plex:
        restart: always
        container_name: plex
        volumes:
            - '/mnt/usbdrive:/media'
        image: jaymoulin/plex

On portainer i see published port 32768:32400 :/

Maybe I did something wrong ?

Thanks you :)

Hi,

I've just set up the new jaymoulin/plex image on my Pi3 under HypriotOS, and I'm having an issue with it.

It fully installs and runs fine, and is initially accessible via pi-ip:32400/web/index.html (although not via pi-ip:32400 for some reason). I get the normal Plex screen with a banner on it that an unclaimed server has been detected and offering the option to claim it. Selecting this takes me to the normal server name/claim screen.

However when I click next there to claim the server to my Plex account, it whirls its button icon for a short time and then comes back with "Unable to save these settings at this time" in a red box and I cannot proceed out of that screen.

Is this a known issue when using the docker container? How can I add the server to my Plex account to use it?

It was set up using the docker run command given in your docker hub page, with the mount point of my USB drive entered in place of your example one.

Regards

Darren

PS the links to your Github page and this issue page in the docker hub page for your new image are wrong and give 404 errors.

Heyho,

i have no idea why, but this is everything i got. Perhaps you have an idea how i get more output?

[alarm@eadrax:~]% docker run --name plex  -v plex:/root/Library -v /media/Filme:/media/Filme -v /media/Serien:/media/Serien --net=host jaymoulin/plex:latest
standard_init_linux.go:190: exec user process caused "exec format error"

Thanks for this really great image.

One question, I keep having issues with the plex server not being reachable through the internet or not reachable securely. Sometimes, when I select, allow insecure connection, it works, but most of the time it doesnt. Off course I forwarded the 32400 port (TCP and UDP) in my router, but this doesn't do much:( Checked if the port is really accessible through http://canyouseeme.org/ and it is..

Am I overlooking something simple?

I'm trying to run this on RancherOS (aarch64 according to uname -m) on my RPI3, but before it pulls, I get the following:

[rancher@rancher ~]$ docker run -d --restart=always --name plex -v /mnt/media/:/media --net=host jaymoulin/plex
Unable to find image 'jaymoulin/plex:latest' locally
latest: Pulling from jaymoulin/plex
docker: no supported platform found in manifest list.

I use docker and docker compose to install plex in my raspberry pi 3 but I always get the same error

 plex:
                image: jaymoulin/plex
                ports:

                volumes:
                        - /home/pi/plex:/root/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server

                restart: always
                network_mode: "host"

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Run the container
2. Try to configure plex server
3. Plex server show a message because it couldn't save the configuration

In logs I get this messae

Heya,

since the last update i cannot play videos anyore.
I tried to fix it myself or find the problem but i could not solve it :S

This is the output of

Description

When I update my docker image I lose all my configuration (library locations, etc.). I think it has something to do with needing PLEX_CLAIM as an environment variable?

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. docker-compose pull
2. docker-compose down
3. docker-compose up -d

Describe the results you received:

A new claim page when I visit <my_ip>:32400

Describe the results you expected:

The same config I had before I updated

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):

plex_1                 | 6 3000 /root/Library/Application Support
plex_1                 | 8192
plex_1                 | /usr/sbin/start_pms: line 29: ./Plex Media Server: not found
plex_1                 | rm: can't remove '/root/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/plexmediaserver.pid': No such file or directory

Looks like something is broken with updated version or conflicted with another feature

Find a way to update Plex without the need to recreate the container

When I install and then run docker with the suggested commands I get the following error:

docker: Error response from daemon: cgroups: memory cgroup not supported on this system: unknown.

Thanks to this StackOverflow answer, the problem seems to be related to a recent release of docker and using an older one works as a workaround while they fix it:
$ sudo apt install docker-ce=17.09.0~ce-0~raspbian

Or if you don't use raspbian like me (I use an openmediavault image) you should:
$ sudo apt install docker-ce=17.09.0~ce-0~debian

This is just an FYI issue in case somebody else has the same problem than me. Feel free to just close it right away.

And thanks for the image and the install scripts! Made my life so much easier :)

Hi @jaymoulin ,

This is a question. I'd like to know how to upgrade plex version. Do I need to rm / run a new container based on the latest image?
If that is the case, is there any way to keep all my plex settings/libraries/shares ?
Thanks,
Jaime-

When I access to configure my plex server, he asks me where are my movies, series..., and I'm going to put my directory which is this: /media/hdd/film/ I click /media and it appears empty

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. start the server with docker-compose up -d
2. I go to configure the server http://my_machine_ip:32400/manage
3. It asks me to put the movie folder

Describe the results you received:
I did not find any folder

Describe the results you expected:

I should have a folder called hdd in /media/ but I can't find it

Additional information:

I have read that you have to give it permissions but I have tried it with the user that plex creates for you but I do not have that user and the solution would be to change a line in the /etc/default/plex file but I do not know if it is because I am running it in docker-compose, I don't have that file either

I am unable to get the daemon to run. the daemon.sh shell script doesnt find any start_pms file and pid file. should i download the deb file from dev2day and install that first?
and as expected docker image wont start without the daemon not runnning

Timezone in docker container is wrong; some reddit post said it could be the issue.

change from raspberry pi 3 to 4. In RP3 is fine but in RP4 is´t working corretly. The services work but the transcoding is broken.
When you open a video file you have a next string "Conversion failed. The transcoder exited due to an error."
It´s the same with all video file. The audio file work fine.

i see in the log file that i have the next warn:
Error loading external lib: /root/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Codecs/395e79c-2735-linux-armv7hf/libvc1_decoder.so: failed to map segment from shared object
