  • 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.

    2 projects | /r/portainer | 9 Jul 2023
    I have a Raspberry Pi 4 8 GB Extreme running 64-bit Pi OS with Docker and Portainer. I'm trying to deploy the following image: https://github.com/plexinc/pms-docker. I'm creating a stack and then using a docker-compose file.

  • 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.
  • New PUBLIC PMS Version Available - 1.30.1.6562-915986d62

    This looks like the official docker. Look through that and make sure you are using the correct docker.
  • poor video quality in windows app
    1 project | /r/PleX | 16 Dec 2022
    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?
    2 projects | /r/PleX | 4 Dec 2022
    The closest I can think of is the docker. If OP likes docker in their docker then they can start with RancherOS.

  • Game Server Manager For Windows
    2 projects | /r/selfhosted | 6 Dec 2023
    I'd like something like this that works with the itzg docker image. I usually have 2-3 servers up and running at any given time for me and my kids to play on. Different modpacks, haven't done anything fancy to manage them except portainer.
  • Need help with PS4 / Java co-play
    1 project | /r/Minecraft | 29 Aug 2023
    I have a nephew who loves minecraft (my fault, I introduced it to him). He plays it on PS4 - which I don't have - and he would like to play it together with me. I live a few thousand kilometers away, so I thought I'd host a server he can join to.I decided to host the server via docker, using itgz's repo. The server is unauthenticated and is exposed to the internet, I can join to it using my java instance.
  • I made an install script which sets up a Minecraft server for Linux.
    2 projects | /r/linux_gaming | 10 Jun 2023
    I think that a better option would be to use https://github.com/itzg/docker-minecraft-server and then use a networking solution like tailscale or equivalent.
  • homelab snowball still snowballing
    5 projects | /r/homelab | 30 May 2023
    using itzg/docker-minecraft-server to host a curseforge modded server that's running all the mods 8 mod pack, though I might look into pterodactyl for future use!
  • Easiest way to run a server with a given modpack?
    2 projects | /r/admincraft | 20 May 2023
    I'm aware of itzg/docker-minecraft-server: Docker image that provides a Minecraft Server that will automatically download selected version at startup (github.com) which makes things pretty easy, but getting any modpack to work still requires quite a bit of fiddling with environment variables (mods to exclude on the server, java version, mc version, enabling command block, etc). Is there something easier, which doesn't require me to search through issues to find working configurations?
  • Installing Java 8 on EndeavourOS
    1 project | /r/EndeavourOS | 19 May 2023
    Also, as somebody already mentioned, you could run server in a Docker container. I quickly found this: https://hub.docker.com/r/itzg/minecraft-server. You could look into it. For this you will have to setup Docker, but it should be pretty easy (install and add user to group, check Arch wiki). Docker then creates a small "VM" (without kernel) in which Java is installed to run the server itself.
  • Help with setting up TLS for Dynmap with Caddy Reverse Proxy on Docker server
    1 project | /r/admincraft | 11 May 2023
    Server is running latest version of PaperMC using the itzg/docker-minecraft-server image on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. Ports 8123 and 25565 of the container are exposed. Dynmap with LiveAtlas is installed in the server's /plugins/ directory and can be accessed through [server IP]:8123.
