So I recently changed my plex server into my docker cluster as I in general only use it locally so i don’t need transcoding. It took me some time to get it properly moved from the old server to the docker setup (ports, advertise ip, …). In the end i got it working (at some point I had no idea for which reason it started working).
Docker config is in bridge mode with all ports linked to the same port, so no difference.
I added advertise_IP with the host IP and port on my network, i also added serveral urls in the “custom url list with port 443 and 32400” cause I’m using traefik as reverse proxy and at some point I couldn’t figure out why the app in the beginning couldn’t connect to plex so as i read that the custom list should be configured.
Now i’m stumbled on a problem with the plex app which works but for some reason doesn’t show any pictures. I can play my movies, read the text but all without pictures.
In the plex server logs I noticed it’s trying to connect to localhost on 443 while it should be 32400? I’ve been looking arround but i can’t find any reference or why it tries to connect to a port that doesn’t exists.
Any idea from where these settings are pushed in plex?
