I recently started using docker on my 218+ to run Unifi’s controller and a few other services. PMS is installed using the standard SPK package (i.e., not w/ docker) but now the private IP reported under settings belongs to one of the docker networks, instead of my LAN’s subnet. Anyone more familiar docker have any idea why this is happening and how to prevent it?
Plex does bind to all available interfaces! There is no way to restrict to which ip it binds (not entirely true: if you would operate a docker container, you could bind the mapped host port to a specific ip… but that’s not what you are looking for)
I guess your problem is that your local network is not identified as the local network for plex anymore?
Christmas has come early ! The feature of allowing the user to select a specific network interface is now available as from Plex Media Server version 1.13.5.5291 which was released to Plex Pass beta yesterday
See Release Note Plex Media Server
- Allow picking a specific network address to bind to (#8492)
Details of the new Advanced Network server setting can be found on this support article https://support.plex.tv/articles/200430283-network/
Please pay attention to the associated notes
This looks to be exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the heads-up!
