I am getting the message Response code=“503” title=“Maintenance” status=“Plex Media Server is currently running database migrations.” whenever I try and launch my plex server. From what I have read, this is an issue related to a corrupted database. I have tried the SQLite tools linked in here and he…

Ok I just was able to get it to work. I had to remove all of the database files from the databases folder, then start the docker container to let Plex recreate all of the db files. Then stop the container and move the files back into the databases folder, then it shows up correctly.

I need to know my next steps regarding rescanning the media and recreating the database. I tried …

As I mentioned, I am no familiar with Unraid at all. If it uses Docker nowadays, it might be rarther simple. If not, you might gather some of the details from the procedure for Linux. https://support.plex.tv/articles/201941078-uninstall-plex-media-server/ Basically it is shutting down the server…

Yeah, I am in the process of upgrading the storage and server as a whole. Unraid does use docker; from my understanding, the database issue is fairly plex specific, and just some storage locations change. I know where stuff is stored, I just can’t get it running again.
