Server Version#: Latest docker image  
Player Version#: NA

I’m trying to install PMS via the official docker image ([GitHub - plexinc/pms-docker: Plex Media Server Docker repo, for all your PMS docker needs.](https://github.com/plexinc/pms-docker)).

I used the standard `docker-compose.yaml` from GitHub and provided the relevant settings for my environment.

Here’s the log

```auto

Critical: libusb_init failed

```

I googled this error and while I see it reported in various forums all I see is “it doesn’t seem to affect the operation”.

Two questions on this:

- Given the log shows the first startup, does this look alright; i.e. started correctly?
- Do I need to worry about the `libusb_init failed` message

Thanks guys
