[Docker] Media Server not appearing in settings

[Nixient1]

Server Version#: 1.19.1.2645-ccb6eb67e
Host OS: Fedora Server 31 x86_64
Linux <hostname.domain.tld> 5.5.15-200.fc31.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 2 19:16:17 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Docker Tag: Latest
Docker version 19.03.8, build afacb8b7f0

I’m working on getting my plex server moved over to Docker and am running into trouble getting the server to appear under my account.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Stop and Remove the Plex Docker Container

docker stop plex
docker rm plex

2. Remove “Library” folder from the configuration directory

3. Remove the Plex Media Server entry from Authorized Devices

4. Pull new Claim from https://plex.tv/claim

5. Input the new Claim and rebuild the container using:

docker run \
-d \
--name plex \
-p 32400:32400/tcp \
-p 3005:3005/tcp \
-p 8324:8324/tcp \
-p 32469:32469/tcp \
-p 1900:1900/udp \
-p 32410:32410/udp \
-p 32412:32412/udp \
-p 32413:32413/udp \
-p 32414:32414/udp \
-e TZ="America/Chicago" \
-e PLEX_CLAIM="<claim-XXXXXXX> \
-e ADVERTISE_IP="http://<host_ip>:32400/" \ #Same as Docker Host IP
-e PLEX_UID=<uid> \ #Plex Service Account UID that has rw access to the configuration directory
-e PLEX_GID=<gid> \ #Plex Service Account GID that has rw access to the configuration directory
-h hostname.domain.tld \
-v /mnt/shared/config/plex:/config \
-v /mnt/media/transcode:/transcode \
-v /mnt/media:/data \
plexinc/pms-docker

After a few moments, the container starts and I can navigate to http://<host_ip>:32400. It sees that I’m already logged in and drops me to the Home page, without prompting for Server Setup. I’m not sure if there is a trick I’m missing to force the server setup dialog, or if there is something else going on.

There is a new Plex Media Server object created under Authorized Devices, but it doesn’t appear in my settings to setup Libraries.

I’ve attached logs from the Configuration Directory here. logs.tar.gz (78.6 KB)

I am experiencing this same issue.
The container runs fine and I am able to login, but the mounted media does not appear anywhere.

If I try to go to #!/setup route manually, I get an error saying “you have no media servers” although I assume I am runnin one given that the link in that page leads me to the same place where I started when I originally went to get info about the plex docker solution.

Edit: Got my problem resolved by adding the PLEX_CLAIM that I originally did not include as I read the instructions as if it was an optional thing to include. With that it worked just fine.
