Hello, I am trying to spin up an instance of plex on an old laptop (runnung ubuntu 20.04) on my LAN using the linuxserver image. I initially tried to use bridge networking so I could access it behind a proxy. However after discussing on the plex forum I know that setting up behind proxy is not always possible. So I have tried with host networking to the same result, which is that the browswer hits the “setting up server” screen and eventually returns “A problem has been detected with a core component of Plex Media Server” error.
This is a link to the plex discussion with a team member which has all my logs linked (cant link them here)
The root of it seems to be that all of the core plug-ins are unable to load. The docker logs show the service starting and then immediately start giving
Error starting framework core for /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Plug-ins-c8bd13540/PlexMovieNew.bundle.
Error starting framework core for /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Plug-ins-c8bd13540/TheMovieDB.bundle.
Error starting framework core for /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Plug-ins-c8bd13540/LocalMedia.bundle.
(and more...)
If I follow this to the PMS plugin logs, I see that each of the named services in error has the same message when tailing the logs.
File "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Python/python27.zip/urllib2.py", line 429, in open
response = self._open(req, data)
File "/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Resources/Python/python27.zip/urllib2.py", line 447, in _open
'_open', req)

result = func(*args)

return self.do_open(httplib.HTTPConnection, req)

raise URLError(err)
URLError: <urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused>
Again this happens for both bridge and host networking, and I am not sure what to try next. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
