Hello,
I’ve recently installed OpenMediaVault on my Raspberry Pi 4, got my drives / shares set up, and wanted to use Plex as the Media delivery for my files.
To install Plex Media Server on my machine, I followed a youtube tutorial and used Docker/Portainer to install Plex, grabbed the container from ghcr.io/linuxserver/plex on dockerhub.
I’ve heard of issues with this method of installing Plex on an OpenMediaVault machine (something to do with “noexec”?). There was a portion of the tutorial I was following in which I checked the /etc/openmediavault/config.xml file on my Pi for “noexec” at a specific location, but I didn’t find it anywhere so I disregarded that step (maybe I’m running a more updated version of OMV compared to the tutorial).
Anyway, I set up the docker configuration in the Portainer GUI, ran the deploy, and went to the Plex Server WebGUI. It started the Server Setup, in which it eventually failed with the message saying " A problem has been detected with a core component of Plex Media Server.". The progress bar didn’t fill up at all, so it seemed to be a fail from the get-go.
At that point I looked at the Docker log, in which it does seem like there is some errors coming up, but not really sure how to address them or if they are necessarily relevant (attached log file). Not sure if there are some other logs that may be useful here.
Also wondering if the Server Setup couldn’t get started at all due to any sort of permission issue with the Config volume that I tied to my Config share in OMV. Not sure if the required files for starting the Server Setup are stored there.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Once I have Plex up and running, I think I’ll have my own personal media server ready to go (2.6 KB)
