Can't claim server

[Zorge_R]

Server Version: Version 1.41.2.9200
Player Version: Version 4.140.0

Hi folks!

Have and outstanding ISSUE with plex server.

My plex server is work in a docker container and published to global network via port forward:

global.tld:443 - > lan_ip:32400

Everything work great many years.

At now, i migrated my server to a new public IP and domain.

Server immediately disappeared in a plex web app.

Plex Web App work fine on my new https://public.tld:

But no server yet in there.

I drop claimed data from preferenses.xml
Rerun container.

Find server in web app.

it say:

I press Claim Server, and it immediately disappeared in a plex web app.

I drop claimed data from preferenses.xml. Rerun container. It appeared in Web App, but unclaimed. I press claim, and it immediately disappeared again.

WTF Is that?

i try:

1. setup new server, whole new, in a new environ on another linux server, and same, server disappear after claim.
2. setup new docker server, same, after claim.
3. setup new windows server, same.
4. setup new plex account, new server, same
5. port forward plex from docker, to 127.0.0.1:32400, same
6. port forward to local inside docker IP, 192…: 32400, same
7. port forward to my server lan ip, same
8. try to claim using sh from github (claim-plex-server.sh), same
9. try to claim via curl, same
10. try to disable access from remote, on first screen of server setup, same
11. try to enable access from remote, same
12. try to setup ADVERTISE_IP in environ, same
13. try to setup ALLOWED_NETWORKS, same
14. try to everything, same

also:

• right after claim, some time, server appear in web app, like it try to connect, and immediately disappear after 5-10 seconds:

Before i claim server, this URL work and show XML:

http://127.0.0.1:32400/media/providers

http://LAN_IP:32400/media/providers

http://internal_docker_ip:32400/media/providers

But right after claim, all of this url show 401 Unauthorized.

Also before claim, i see all library and server is unclaimed and not secure.

Right after claim, sometime i see all library at a short time, but all say you are Unauthorized for this.

After claim, and some time, 10 seconds maybe, servers an library disappear.

If i unclaim server, it has appear, show i must claim it before use, show library, show content, if i ignore claim message, in a library, content work, but i want to claim and have remote access.

Some logging and screenshots:

What can it be? Any idea?

FYI Please dont spam the thread tags, You filed this under NAS, Windows, Linux, and Docker. From your description its a docker non-NAS setup.

Without logs, I would start you with GitHub - ChuckPa/UserCredentialReset: User Credential Reset utility for Plex

I would also suggest a copy of your server logs.

[Zorge_R]

I not spam, i try all variant of deployment and problem persist in all of it:

• linux server
• windows server
• docker pms
• synology pms

Checked sh from repo that you provide, nothing changed.

As always before:

• Plex claimed, as before, and disappeared after that, as before.

Claim proccess:

And after that:

and after 10-15 seconds it’s fully disappeared in web app.

Can I get a copy of those server logs? ps are you using a VPN?

[Zorge_R]

I already delete pms from laptop, but can try to reinstall. Yep, i think work VPN are runned on laptop at a time when plex deployed.

[Zorge_R]

Yeeap. Reason is hetzner public IP. Changing server location or IP help. Thanks!
