CPU usage stuck at 100%, Server settings are unavailable

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

Hi!

I’ve installed PMS on a Raspberry Pi 4 using docker and everything was working fine until yesterday. I’ve noticed that that right after i start the container that the CPU usage goes to 100% all the time. The server is so unresponsive that i can’t connect to the server using the android apps and I can’t get to the server settings and the only thing i can see it this message “Server settings are unavailable.” (I know this doesn’t help a lot xD)

I’m using the version from 23.11.20 from the container linuxserver/plex.

I can see these logs from portainer but I don’t know if it helps much.

I’m very very noob to the docker and PMS stuff. Can anyone help me?

Hey man, have the same issue, no idea whats going on as I’m pretty new to all this too, I just reverted to an old Plex image I had and works fine again on that, if you can do the same thing should tied you over until the source of the issue is identified and resolved

Are you using the same container? Please let me know how to revert to an older image. Also I’m using wathtower to update containers, so I might have to do something about that

Yeah same container, in Portainer I went to Images and searched for Plex, had an old image I pulled about 3 weeks ago, clicked into it, gave it a tag. next I went to my containers, duplicated my Plex container, renamed the duplicate, and changed the image to the tag I had just given the Old image, redeployed the container and worked. not sure show you pull an old image if you dont have one in your system already I’m sure its possible

Obviously stopped the ‘faulty’ plex container also, only had the new one with old image running

Hey Man, if you don’t have an old image, change your image from linuxserver/plex:latest to ghcr.io/linuxserver/plex:1.20.4.3517-ab5e1197c-ls124 - Guy from YouTube (channel: DB Tech) helped me out with this!

I have the same issue. I just rolled back to an older image.

Change your image to the one with the bionic tag instead of latest. It will fix it and you’ll still have updates.

Thanks so much for this! I hate not being able to update properly. This is the real solution!
