Server Version#: 1.40.5.8854 Player Version#: I mounted a new share today and I cannot get the folder to appear in the “Add Folder” list in the “Manage Libraries” tab. I double checked all my permissions and it matches all my other shares. When I log into the bash shell in the docker container, …

I am really lost on this one. I tried renaming the folder in the yaml file. I tried mounting it to a different directory. Every time I can all the contents of the folder if I go into docker container, but Plex will not see the folder to add it. Anyone have any ideas on this one?

I tried nfs, same problem. I tried mounting the parent folder, same problem.

@ChuckPa will probably come around and solve this in a second. I’m still Linux lite on skills but it seems to usually be a case of permissions aren’t set correctly. Somewhere Chuck has a bunch of Linux Tips but I can’t find it at the moment. Here’s one that I found that might help though: …

My permissions and ownership should be right thought. That’s why I tried two different file protocols to prove that. When I am in the docker container, everything is owned by the plex user and group and the ugo permission bits are set correctly. The docker bash shell can access all of the files a…

I was able to workaround this issue by taking one of the existing mounts and mounting the parent folder. That still doesn’t explain why I can’t add any new mounts and have them appear in the docker container to plex even though they appear perfectly fine within the bash shell for the plex docker co…

It doesn’t matter which UID/GID owns the files inside the container. What matters is how that UID:GID maps to the real world. Here’s the “cheat” method :sunglasses: My UID:GID is 1000:1000 I own all the media on the machine & NAS I create the container to run as my UID:GID By default, the con…

[image] ChuckPa: -e PLEX_UID=1000 \ -e PLEX_GID=1000 \ -e PUID=1000 \ -e PGID=1000 \ I only have PUID and PGID set. Do I need to set PLEX_UID and PLEX_GID set to get this to work? Your configuration is similar to mine. I have the container set to run as my user account. This doesn’t expla…

open a terminal window, get your ID info [chuck@lizum docker.2051]$ id chuck uid=1000(chuck) gid=1000(chuck) groups=1000(chuck),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),44(video),46(plugdev),110(render),122(lpadmin),135(lxd),136(sambashare) [chuck@lizum docker.2052]$ The primaries are listed first. How…

It looks right to me. uid=1000(mitchell) gid=1000(mitchell) groups=1000(mitchell),4(adm),24(cdrom),27(sudo),30(dip),46(plugdev),105(lxd),994(docker) My existing mounts are CIFS. The new mount I tried with both NFS and CIFS. It didn’t matter.
