Hi everyone,  
Server Version#:latest version of the official plex docker on the unraid app store

So after a massive server crash my plex docker on unraid got uninstalled.  
After reinstalling the docker, went flawless, i tried to log in to the webui to set it up.  
But to my surprise i can’t log in and get “an error ocured while logging in”(translated from dutch).  
I am using the same user/password i used to log in here. Here it works without a hitch.  
I already restarted everything connected to my router including the router itself, to rule out connection errors.  
I also verified port forward settings.  
i tried to set the appdata to a unassigned device as well as the basic appdata folder.  
I tried giving it’s own ip on the network, as well as connecting through the host.  
I even tried to manually adjust the preferences file to match my user data and token.  
Can anyone help please?
