Plex Seems to start but can't connect

Hi Guys,

I have a server that runs ESXi. And I have one VM which runs Plex/Sonarr/nzbget.

My docker create command is this:

docker create \
  --name=plex \
  --net=host \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e VERSION=latest \
  -v /data/plexconfig/:/config \
  -v /data/downloads/tvshows:/data/tvshows \
  -v /data/downloads/movies:/data/movies \
  -v /data/transcode:/transcode \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  --network medianet \
  linuxserver/plex

The container is running:

CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                                                            NAMES

Unsure what the chown is trying to do - I logged into the container and checked the ownership - all set to ‘abc’ which has a uid/gid of 1000.

I’ve deleted the container and image and gone over and over a few times but for the life of me I cannot get to the web interface:

root@mediaserver:~# telnet 127.0.0.1 32400
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

Versions:

Linuxserver.io version:- 1.16.2.1321-ad17d5f9e-ls38 Build-date:- 2019-07-18T03:03:34+00:100:

I’ve also rebuilt the VM which hasn’t helped, running Debian 9 Stretch

I’ve nothing special on the network, standard home router - no plans or anything. I’ve checked and Debian 9 doesn’t come with any firewalls at all.

Is /data a passed through mount/drive from esxi?

Hey. Yeah sorry I should have mentioned that. /data is an nfs share from my Synology drive.

Thanks

Michael

I suspect it’s Plex not liking the mount. Put the /config mount on a local filesystem /home/user/appdata/plex and it should boot
