Linux-server health issue with new plex server version?

Plex Media Server

<If providing server logs please do NOT turn on verbose logging, only debug logging should be enabled>

With four test Plex servers running the linux-server image spun up with a docker compoase script in Dockhand of…

services:
plex:
image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest
container_name: plex
hostname: plex
network_mode: host
security_opt:

  • no-new-privileges:true
    healthcheck:
    test: wget --no-verbose --tries=1 --spider http://localhost:32400/web
    #EACH INSTALL HAS IT’S OWN UNIQUE PATHS AND PUID AND PGID VALUES
    volumes:

The update from two days ago shows Plex as starting unhealthy, while everything seems normal for these test servers in Plex’s webapp.

I experienced this with a test Plex server on my Synology DS1825+ & DS1520+, my Ugreen DSP4800+ that’s running FygoOS, and a desktop install of Zorin OS 18.1.

Changing these two lines in the stack for all four installs to pull a two week old image caused all four instances of these test servers to show as healthy again once they spun up.

image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest to image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/plex:1.43.2.10687-563d026ea-ls311

VERSION: public to VERSION: 1.43.2.10687-563d026ea-ls311

My regular linux-server container running under Unraid and another test server under ZimaOS appear to be unaffected.

My question is whether Plex version 1.43.3.10828 has an actual issue with these four test systems, or is the unhealthy red dot in Dockhand a false reporting issue?

I have Portainer installed on two of these test sytstems and while the Plex Stack is in Dockhand for both, Portainer also shows Plex as unhealthy.

I spun up Dockhand in my ZimaOS test system and the Plex container shows as healthy from Dockhand’s Dashboard.

I figured things out.

The Plex container starts up healthy after changing the health check part of the Docker compose script to…

healthcheck:
  test: ["CMD", "curl", "-fsS", "http://localhost:32400/identity"]
  interval: 30s
  timeout: 10s
  retries: 3
  start_period: 20s
