How do I get the plex.tv site to recognize my new docker container?

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices
1

Hi all, I am at my wits end and have tried a number of things.

Using the linux-server.io docker image to run my Plex Server on Centos 7.

docker create \
--name=plex \
--net=host \
-e VERSION=latest \
-e PUID=1001 -e PGID=1001 \
-e TZ="America/Phoenix" \
-e PLEX_CLAIM="claim-LezFeR8nd2xfyficBNs4" \
-e ADVERTISE_IP="http://192.168.2.15:32400/" \
-v /etc/plex/:/config \
-v /mnt/freenas/TV/:/tvshows \
-v /mnt/freenas/Movies/:/movies \
linuxserver/plex

My freenas mount is mounted and I can see the mounted files within the container, and I can navigate to the web site, afterwhich I log into the portal. However, I am unable to see the option to “set up” my new server, as I can only see the library that my friend is sharing from his server. It as if the plex.tv doesn’t even recognize the server.

I have SELINUX disabled, and permissions on the NAS seem to be set correctly (i can manipulate and move them as the user running inside the container).

What am I doing wrong here?

The linux-server.io image doesn’t support PLEX_CLAIM nor ADVERTISE_IP. These are unique to our official container with the express purpose of making sign-in and first access of the server easier. If you wish to use the linux-server.io container, I suggest you contact them on the best steps you should follow.

Your incompatible with the image settings aside, are you really sure you want your PMS Database in your /etc? I suspect your specified user:group for the container doesn’t have write permission in /etc.
