needo37 / plex Goto Github PK

For some reason, /tmp stopped being writable within the plex container. Since this is where plex stores transcodes, videos couldn't be played. As a workaround, I made /tmp into a volume, i.e. I ran

docker run -d --net="host" --privileged="false" --name="plex" -v /path/to/plex/config:/config -v /path/to/video/files:/data -v /path/to/temporary/directory:/tmp needo/plex

Maybe I should mention that I'm running docker on Fedora 21 in SELinux mode enforcing. I also had to remove the link to /etc/localtime. Otherwise, docker-run would fail with System error: Relabeling content in /usr is not allowed.

I tried to upgrade to:
1.12.3.4947
but instead it installed 0.9

Setting version to 1.12.2 works.

The URL I maintain for the latest versions (http://plex.baconopolis.net/latest.php) will be locked at version 1.14.1.5488
This docker instance isn't maintained anymore and changes are needed in loaded library paths to make it work. It's recommended to switch to the linuxserver version as it's updated regularly with security updates, and uses a Plex authorized way of updating to the latest plex pass version.

The service can write the config files into the volume. The directory is a sub-dir under my user home - non-root ownership.
-v /home/chris/plex/config:/config

Would there be anyway for you to change the WebUI Docker link to use https:// instead of http://?

Hi, I'm running this docker on unRaid. When installing via the web gui, I removed the privileged tick box, yet the container can see all of my partitions. That should only happen when the container runs as privileged, rright?

I run your image using

docker run -d --net="host" --name="plex" -v /plexconfig:/config -v /movies:/data -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro --restart=always needo/plex

however It does not seem to be updating to the latest version when restarting

In README.md

docker run flags need to be: --name="plex" and --net="host"
instead of: -name=“plex” -net=“host”
not the the double dashes and the different quotes characters around the values

-v /etc/local time:/etc/localtime:ro
please remove the space between local and time in the docker command line example for a specific version of plex
