I don't seem to be able to run the linuxserver Plex docker container correctly. The docker compose file is simple and copied below. The user PUID and group PGID are obtained from /etc/passwd entries or "id -u". The user with PUID and PGID has full permission to /myconfig and /mymovies in the host. I tried various different users, some with admin privileges.
The container runs, but in the PLEX account I don't see any option to find local media. There is a bunch of annoying TV and movie and streaming advertisements/promotions.
What am I doing wrong?
version: "2.1"
services:
plex:
image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
container_name: plex
network_mode: host
environment:
- PUID= 1026
- PGID= 100
- VERSION=docker
volumes:
- /myconfig:/config
- /mymovies:/movies
restart: unless-stopped
These are server settings. The container shows the settings in the user account in the company website. It doesn’t recognize any server.
There is a “+Your Media” which brings a page: download and install plex server!
