After install, docker is running, but no PLEX webgui

I followed the Techno Dad Life tutorial. Added the VERSION variable, but otherwise followed it exactly.
After hitting Save, I try going to https://serverip:32400/web, but it doesn’t work. Also tried http:// but that didn’t work either.

Most other Docker images work right away, and I have other dockers running fine right now.

One other thing I noticed is that the LOG SIZE for the Plex container is slowly growing at around 1KB every 10 seconds. The container has been running for over half an hour, and the log is over 200KB.

Any ideas?

Post a docker log …

Sorry, forgot to add that.

It repeats that starting plex server line another 100 times.

I should also mention this is what happened the last time I tried to use this same docker on another OMV install. I ended up abandoning it and using the OMV Plex plug-in, but want to switch to a Docker.

Did you put your Plex config folder on a remote mounted share?

Plex keeps crashing for you, could be a corrupt database, a remote mount would do that.

Check the Plex media server log in the config folder and it will tell you why it’s crashing

It’s on a local disk, but shared via a UnionFS mount. Is that a problem?

The …/Config/Plex folder is empty.

You need to make sure you set the /config directly to the disk, not through any Fuse layers/symlinks.

Creating a share directly on one of the disks in the UnionFS array, but not through it’s namespace worked!
Also, I had to manually browse to http://serverip:32400/web. For some reason my browser was always trying to go to https://…

Thanks guys!
