A problem has been detected with a core component of Plex Media Server

Server Version#:1.15.8.1198-eadbcbb45
Player Version#:

I have installed Plex in a docker container and when it tries to initialize, I get the message “A problem has been detected with a core component of Plex Media Server”

Has anyone seen this before?

How do I get the logs from a Docker installation?

The /var/lib/plexmediaserver directory is empty (I get a shell into the container from portainer), but the directory configured by the docker creation command contains a log file (attached). I suspect this is how it is supposed to be.

When I compare the contents of the /var/lib/plexmediaserver… to that of a working Linux implementation, it seems that some directories are missing.
This is the ls -l from the containerized plex:

drwxrwxrwx@ 14 plexuser staff 448 Jun 22 17:06 Cache
drwxrwxrwx@ 4 plexuser staff 128 Jun 13 11:56 Codecs
drwxrwxrwx@ 3 plexuser staff 96 Jun 13 11:56 Crash Reports
drwxrwxrwx@ 24 plexuser staff 768 Jun 22 17:07 Logs
drwxrwxrwx@ 6 plexuser staff 192 Jun 13 11:56 Plug-in Support
-rw------- 1 plexuser staff 940 Jun 22 16:30 Preferences.xml
-rw-r–r-- 1 plexuser staff 3 Jun 22 16:26 plexmediaserver.pid

Any ideas?
