That's basically what you have to do to change any of the variables you pass to a docker container - docker stop, docker rm, then docker create with everything you put in the first time along with whatever you're changing. But: Warbird posted:Docker-compose is a better approach for long running things that you may want to tinker with or alter later.

I finally switched over to docker-compose and I don't know why I spent so long not using it. Now you can easily edit your docker-compose.yml to change whatever, then do a docker-compose up -d and it kills/recreates anything that changed in one command. Container updates are also done with just two commands, one to pull and then the same docker-compose up.

Sounds like I definitely need to invest a day or two into learning how to use docker-compose, as it is much more movable. I am planning on eventually buying a NAS so that's why I decided to move to Linux now.

I use plex to watch 1080p content on my lan and sometimes my friends use it. I might upgrade to a 4k setup eventually but no time soon. I am thinking of getting an nvidia shield pro and a 4 tb drive, to replace both my plex server and the ps4 I use as a media stream box. Have read mixed things online, people who get it working seem to love it. Is anyone here doing this? The power consumption differential would pay off the shield in 8 months. I am curious how well it works in 2021 and also if the plex server on the shield gets the usual update channel. Also curious the most brain dead way to set up the hdd so that i can write to it from a local windows or bsd machine. This might be an intermediate step, in that if the plex server needs outgrow the shield pro i might add a NAS later, shield pro seems generally useful anyway, and I would like to free up this pc for music production stuff.

So thanks to your input here I managed to get everything set up with docker-compose, and I must say, everything is MUCH nicer. It is so much easier to just edit the file and then reload it. Now, however, I think I am running into some problems with my Plex/NZBGet/Transmission/Sonarr setup. One big reason I wanted to set this all up was so I could use hard links. However, I don’t think they are actually working right now. It looks Sonarr just copied the files to my media folder. Right now my NZBs aren’t automatically moving either. Sonarr gets them and they download, but they don’t auto import. I think I have somehow set things up wrong. Here are the volume settings from my .yml files from each program Plex volumes: - /media/name/External/Media/:/config - /media/name/External/Media/TV:/tv - /media/name/External/Media/Movies:/movies - /media/name/External/Media/Music:/music - /media/name/External/Media/Audiobooks:/audiobooks Sonarr volumes: - /home/name/dockers/sonarr:/config - /media/name/External/media/tv:/tv #optional - /media/name/External/downloads/complete:/downloads #optional Transmission volumes: - /home/name/dockers/transmission:/config - /media/name/External/Downloads:/downloads - /home/name/Downloads:/watch NZBGet volumes: - /home/name/dockers/nzbget:/config - /media/name/Extrrnal/downloads:/downloads Home is on the computer’s SSS where I have installed Ubuntu, and Media is an external drive where I keep all the media. So, docker gurus, how can I change these so everything places nicely? Where did I go wrong?

Start out overriding the entrypoint with /bin/sh and hand run it like: Docker run -it --rm --entrypoint /bin/sh -v /my/dumb/directory:/whatever mydumbcontainer Make sure you can read the files. Edit: oh and type "getenforce". Selinux might be stopping you. H110Hawk fucked around with this message at 03:33 on May 23, 2021 |

Two things that jump to mind: 1) Case matters, you have some going to foo/media/tv and some to foo/Media/TV 2) I'm 99% certain Sonarr/Radarr primarily "move" files by telling the download client to move it. You might need both your download clients and sonarr/radarr to both have mappings to your final media folders.

reading back a bit it seems like one or two people might be doing this, also the Shield Pro looks like a fine stream box to replace my ps4 and the best answers to my other questions are probably discovered through guides from Google and practical experience. trip report incoming, I'd rather avoid the linux or NAS route if possible if for no other reason than I think docker is a good idea implemented questionably and documented worse, and it's bad enough to have to troubleshoot it for salary.

Have read mixed things online, people who get it working seem to love it. The shield is great client, minus the android app deficiencies, that hopefully will continue to improve. As a server, is great as long as you only ever experience 2-3 simultaneous transcodes. If your friends all jump on at the same time, you’ll all be unhappy.

I use my Shield Pro as a server but it connects to a file server that has all the video files. It works great. I have been doing it for 4ish years that way. I can have a decent amount of streams going ( transcoding and direct play ) but I have a gig symmetrical fiber connection that helps minimize the need for transcoding and I do not allow anyone to watch on a browser for the most part.

If I end up needing to drop a NAS into the mix, so be it, starting with a $80 4tb USB3 drive. I also don't tend to add stuff more than every couple weeks so if I am doing a sneakernet for now with an external HDD, also not that big a deal.

CopperHound posted:Is this something you can do? allowing, or disallowing? Anyone who has access to your plex server, generally, has access to the web client through https://app.plex.tv as far as I know. If you are logged in as an admin you can see the various settings for the web player under "Plex Web". I don't see an option to just completely disable the web player; unsure if there is something I am overlooking, or if Burden is doing something more complicated at the network level. hbag posted:my plex server does this weird thing where it SAYS it cant be accessed from outside my LAN but then ive managed to access it from literally a completely different city  I know it well. If I click "retry", generally this is replaced by "fully accessible!" green text. In either case, my out of state father is able to watch stuff on his Fire tablet  In my case I was actually triple NAT'd, which was worse -- so now my AmpliFi is just set as a rebroadcast for my ISP router which is handling most routing, but all my IoT stuff is on a mostly seperate network, and some Plex clients connect to that. So, the Plex server computer is connected to both networks through two different interfaces  -- that won't be possible once I move to a Shield Pro, but, as the main thing that was accessing it through the secondary network was the PS4 I use as our main client, that problem goes away and maybe that whole IoT network can actually be fully divorced from my main network.In any case, sorry for the wall of text, upshot "plex networking difficult sometimes even under normal circumstances, and the weirder your topography gets the worse it gets"

I'm guessing all you cool people already know this, but in case not I'm just gonna throw this here: Plex amp (dedicated audio player for Plex) has an Android app, and if you use your Plex library for music it is WAY better than the official Plex app.

I have used the windows app for a while without issue, but only found the android app about a week and a half ago. So far, I have no complaints. Audio is fine, hasn't crashed at all, works seemlessly in the background and stores what I tell it to locally without issue. So yes? Based on my last week I would suggest giving it a second chance. I'm using it on a pixel 3a for reference.

Been using Plexamp on my iPhone for months and it’s been pretty solid. Only found the sleep timer yesterday though, so that’s either relatively new or hidden well enough from me to not notice (it and a few things are in a menu you get when you tap the songs name while it plays).

Cool, I would like to try it again! The addition of a driving UI, ugly as it is, is nice for me since the regular Plex app is kind of fiddly to navigate when you're at a stoplight or something.

My Docker odyssey is going well enough, thanks to the advice here and the servarr wiki. I think I have my file structure set up right, and now a Sonarr request moves to NZBGet. Now, however, I still can’t get hardlinks working. I think I need to mess around with user permissions in my docket-compile files, but maybe I typed things wrong? I put UMASK=002 into all of them but this same problem persists. code:

Ok I'm at work so I can't troubleshoot this myself right now, but is there something weird I need to do to add custom video files to Plex? There's two I'm trying to add to the movies section, and I have them in the right folder but they're not showing up after a scan. I figure I probably need to edit the metadata on the file itself, but I didn't know if there was something else I needed to do. Everything I'm seeing after a quick skim in google is from 5+ years ago and for setting up a custom "home movies" library. I don't need anything like that, I just want them to pop up in my movies library like everything else. Edit: poo poo nevermind. I just remembered that the external I use doesn't like being unplugged from my computer and will delete everything I just put on it unless I go through and disconnect it in the file manager first. I've been connecting to my Shield (that I run Plex off of) remotely for so long I forgot, but my Shield is being prissy with remote connecting lately so I had to do it manually. At least it's an easy fix lol. Soysaucebeast fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Jun 3, 2021 |

I’m a digital pack rat and I recently moved a bunch of videos I had saved into Plex as a Video library so I could more easily watch them. Stuff like old wrestling, old documentaries, etc. I have a big collection of audio like long gone podcasts, radio shows, etc that I should dump into plex and use Plex amp for. I realized all of this poo poo I’ve been saving for like 20 years is wasted just sitting on a hard drive and if it’s in Plex than at least I could watch it. Although watching it will probably reveal it’s all dog poo poo and should be deleted. :p

You get it. It's kinda fun too. The one thing I don't like about PlexAmp for podcasts is that (unless there's a setting I've not spotted) it won't remember where you've left off. So you kinda have to mentally remember where to jump back in if you're like me and tend to do things over multiple listening periods.

Plex setup on the Shield Pro was painless; $200 (plus $90 in peripherals, $129 for a 6tb drive and and $20 for an HDMI splitter so I can optical out to my receiver) later and I am up and running. I recovered $150 in costs by selling my PS4 which was only used as a just-alright plex headend. It seems to work. I shut the old PC down, so it's cooler and quieter in that area of the house now. Assuming this proves out to be a long term solution, I am going to reclaim that PC as an audio workstation, but given how little time I put into that, it will run an hour a week if I am lucky. Because I got this as a Plex solution, everything else is just added value to me. I am experimenting with the from-your-own-PC game streaming that Geforce Now provides, if I get a chance later I will gently caress around with CyberPunk and Doom on the projector downstairs with the shield controller and see how that goes. I also played Magic Arena through Geforce Now on my projector, which was cool but ultimately that's unlikely to be worth $10/mo to me, especially if I can do the same things from my own (beefy) PC over the LAN. Having Google Spy on the remote makes me roll my eyes; I don't like the privacy implications but I do have a bunch of things set up in google home and being able to control various lights directly from the same remote we're watching TV with isn't the worst thing. The dedicated netflix button should gently caress off though. I see that there is a Plex Shield Server beta channel that can be opted in to on google play; I have not done that. I probably won't until I have some problem that I hope it to solve.
