Web interface does not start, s6 errors about docker-plex HOT 7 CLOSED

Why is this issue closed?
If Fedora (or CentOS/RHEL with Red Hat supplied docker) isn't supported, which IMHO would be a mistake since the issue seems to be within the s6-overlay project's incorrect assumptions, then the website, README, etc should clearly state that. Otherwise the issue should remain open.

Otherwise surely the issue should remain open -especially since there is no work around in here?

There's more detail, including a work around here
just-containers/s6-overlay#158
and Red Hat commentary on the issue

Stupid. Just noticed my errors in startup line - missed the inside directories off each -v line.

Changed the create to :

docker create \
--name=plex \
--net=host \
-e VERSION=latest \
-e PUID=501 -e PGID=501 \
-e TZ=Europe/London \
-v /data/data1/SHARED/plex1/config:/config \
-v /data/data1/SHARED/plex1/data/tvshows:/data/tvshows \
-v /data/data1/SHARED/plex1/data/movies:/data/movies \
-v /data/data1/SHARED/plex1/transcode:/transcode \
linuxserver/plex

But I am still getting the "permission denied" errors and no running plex.

if I run a bash shell I can start plex by running

# exec s6-setuidgid abc /usr/sbin/start_pms
6 3000 /config/Library/Application Support

but not by running:

./run

this appears to be something specific to fedora at this stage of investigation.

Because the issue is with fedora, it's not an s6 issue either.

i've read both of those posts before.

first line of the fedora page on docker

"Docker is supported on Fedora version 22, 23, and 24."

https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/fedora/

25 isn't supported by docker

from docker-plex.

When you say Docker isn't supported on Fedora 25 that's not strictly correct.
You are talking about the binaries supplied by Docker Inc.
Docker is a project. There are distributions of Docker provide by different organizations much like there's not one distribution of apache httpd from apache.org

The Linux distributions also provide their binaries of Docker that are optimized for their platforms.
For example, the Docker binaries provided by CentOS, RHEL and Fedora are different that the binaries supplied by Docker Inc. These are fully supported by those distributions and often include maintenance and backports not provided by docker Inc.

It sounds like you are making the statement that you'll only support docker inc. binaries rather than those provided by distributions (eg. centos, fedora, rhel, debian, ubuntu, etc). Personally I'd disagree with that decision, but if that's the official stance then it should be documented.

That said I know that the Red Hat folks are looking at making the noexec on /run optional so this all might be a moot point !

In the mean time I'm working around this with VOLUME ['/run']

Thanks for the great work on this docker image..
