  • Plex Docker doesn't see /dev/dri?
    1 project | /r/PleX | 19 Nov 2023
    From what I can tell Plex can't see /dev/dri at all, as I get 45-plex-hw-transcode-and-connected-tuner: exited 0. in the logs which according to the source code means it did not see an existing device. Going into the container shows there isn't a /dev/dri folder at all though it does exist on my local machine.
  • Pi-Hole/WireGuard and other Docker containers setup
    1 project | /r/pihole | 10 Jul 2023
    I originally started using Docker because I wanted to run WireGuard alongside Pi-Hole and knew I would be wanting to add other containers and Docker's a good way to make everything play nicely. I originally wanted to install WireGuard immediately alongside Pi-Hole but that got shelved. The Plex Docker container can't be installed on Pi OS, there is an Plex docker container tough which is also causing me problems. IE: every time I update PMS (which is apparently a lot) it recreates the container, in addition to a lot of install errors.

  • Plex keeps writing to Unraid Cache drive while idle
    1 project | /r/PleX | 21 Mar 2023
    Found it. The Docker container has a health check script. This script runs every 5 seconds. You can see this in the Plex console. Filter on "/identity".
  • Rootless docker vs podman: pros and cons?
    5 projects | /r/linuxadmin | 9 Mar 2023
    The issue seems to be more that the container I'm trying to run is trying to chown a directory and runs into "Operation not permitted" issues. Specifically, this script is being executed and is failing, no matter which combination of user/namespace commands I am feeding it.

    This looks like the official docker. Look through that and make sure you are using the correct docker.
  • poor video quality in windows app

    So I'm run Plex server on my OMV server in docker container (this)[https://github.com/plexinc/pms-docker]. And my quality settings in win app looks like this (Show all do nothing)
  • Plex server all in one?

    The closest I can think of is the docker. If OP likes docker in their docker then they can start with RancherOS.
