Working on my friends Unraid server that the flash drive failed. Got a new flash drive and get unraid back up and working, and shares rebuilt but I can’t get plex to work without this error A problem has been detected with a core component of Plex Media Server. I have claimed the server.
Logs enclosed. Hope you can help thanks.
Figured it out on my own. You can close this request.
To be clear - this thread link above is in regards to the “core component” issue.
Claiming a server on Unraid can be a”fun” exercise in and of itself that I walked through on my own setup recently. Assuming Docker on Unraid, you can use a container variable of PLEX_CLAIM and put in a token that you can generate from https://plex.tv/claim
However, the method that I ended up using I found in this thread and consists of:
the issue being that claiming needs to occur using localhost:32400 (not from server_ip_address:32400)
from another device you can run ssh -L 32400:localhost:32400 root@server_ip_address (replace your server_ip_address with whatever you are using here)
after running that you should be able to then hit localhost:32400/web in your browser and claim the server
I would also note that YMMV and you may need a bit more work depending on how you have your Docker networking set up on your own system. I ended up switching my networking for the container over to “host” mode and then use the ip_address of the unraid server for these instructions to work before switching it back to my preferred setup once it was done.
