Server Version#: 1.32.5.7516
I have built the official plexinc/pms-docker in Linux Mint 20.3 via “docker compose up -d” and created libraries. However I had forgotten to set up an additional entry in the yml file for access to another drive for my media. I edited the docker-compose.yml file with the additional entry and rebuilt the plex docker again with docker compose. I recreated my libraries and it runs fine. But now every time I restart docker or my system, plex lists 2 plex servers with identical names and thinks I’m using the older version of the server. If I restart docker again it switches to the newer plex server. It cycles back and forth between the two servers on any restart. “Docker ps -a” only lists one plex docker so I’m guessing that plex has some setting that didn’t properly clear when the docker was rebuilt. After checking the accessible file structure in both servers (since the mounted file paths to the media files should be different after the updated yml file) access to mounted drives for both servers are indentical as defined in the updated docker-compose.yml file. The file paths for the duplicate server libraries are still listed as the old, now inaccessible, folders. I tried renaming the duplicate server to “Duplicate” and plex seems to persist the name but every time I try to delete the duplicate server in the web interface “Duplicate” just pops back up again after restart. I can probably try to delete the docker entirely and remove the servers in the web interface and start from scratch but the libraries basically take all day to rescan so I’d like to avoid that unless absolutely necessary. I’m also worried that in doing so I will then have 3 servers listed instead of just 2. Does anyone have insight into how I can permanently remove the old duplicate server?
