Server Version#: 1.22.2.4282
Player Version#:
I set up a NAS on a Raspberry PI 4 using Openmediavault and Docker (for Plex). I am unable to claim server. I click the “Claim Server” button on the settings page but nothing happens. At one point during initial startup I got the message “Server Settings are Unavailable”. Plex Media Server Logs_1970-01-01_00-00-01.zip (142.0 KB)
Sounds like you did not include the claim token during initial configuration/setup of the container. You can either start with an updated configuration (incl. the environment parameter PLEX_CLAIM → -e PLEX_CLAIM="<claim token>") or use an SSH tunnel into your container to claim it as if you were running it “locally”.
Thank you for that suggestion. I tried what you suggested but to no resolution.
I added the token to my container’s environment variables (as shown in the screenshot) and re-deployed. I then signed in incognito in the browser. Is there anything else I can try?
Mod-Edit: Removed screenshot w/ user’s claim token
1st: please don’t post screenshots with your Plex Token!
Take a look at the very final section of the page linked above on how to create an SSH tunnel to your server.
Sorry. I guess that was a bad idea. I am pretty new to this so please forgive my ignorance.
I created the tunnel to my server however i’m not sure where i should be making a change.
I tried connecting to plex after tunneling using localhost but i get the same result.
Not exactly sure how far you got. Do you get a specific error message?
Side note:
You might want to look in the general configuration of your container… looks like no time is set and it’s jumping all over the place from 1929 to 1970. This could actually also create some issues with encrypted connections. Not sure this is impacting the connection your server will try to establish in order to complete the claim.
It’s also failing to establish basic internal connections with its own components
Same as before, I get to the settings page where I am given the opportunity to “Claim Server”. I click the button, the processing indicator spins for a few seconds and then nothing happens.
I was following a video tutorial on setting up Plex in a container using OpenMediaVault (link: How To Install Plex on OpenMediaVault 5 - DB Tech).
Where would the time be set?
Sorry, no idea.
I’ve tried to stay away from too many layers of complexity in my setup (running my server natively on Ubuntu 20.04)
Ok. Thanks for your help/
I’m having the “same” problem, and the documentation listed above doesn’t state how to claim locally.
My specifics are on a bridged network (bigger box than a Pi), not host, so the ssh command:
ssh username@ip_of_server -L 32400:ip_of_server:32400 -N
as port 32400 is already in use.
And within the container doesn’t have SSH.
