Running ubuntu 16.04 server with plex media server and other apps in docker containers behind a Traefik reverse proxy. Running Plex from my localhost:32400/ i get a spinning circle and the message looking for servers. On one occasion there was a message in an orange banner saying “insecure server …

Similar problem here. I’m running debian 9 with plex media server on docker. I have tried again and again but the server is never found but the web page at :32400 work just fine. My docker-compose file is basicly identical with @StBooth but I don’t run Traefik at the moment.

With docker it is essential that you set PLEX_CLAIM correctly to attach the new server to your Plex account at the first start of your container. You only have 4 minutes to start your docker container the first time or your PLEX_CLAIM expires. And this CLAIM process will also only work the first tim…

Followed your instructions. Stopped Plexms container and ran the following command: docker system prune --all --force --volumes. New claim information in docker-compose.yml, saved and restarted the container. Followed the progress in Portainer, plexms was starting for about 7 minutes before the stat…

The you have to claim your server the traditional way: from a computer in the local network of your PMS.

nothing worked, even reinstalled on new os. plexpass is not worth much to me right now. Steve

Do you know how to open a bash in your container (e.g. docker exec -it <container-id> /bin/bash)? If nothing else works please just give my bash script a try :slight_smile: The usage is rather simple and described on the github page. Just first download the script in your container, e.g. with wget …

Entered: docker exec -it /bin/bash and got promt: root@9f4776baba:/# . Then entered: wget https://github.com/uglymagoo/plex-claim-server/raw/master/plex-claim-server.sh and got bash: wget: command not found, so apparently i dont know how to do this. Which gethub page has the instructions? sorry…

No problem. You only have one docker container, the Plex container, right? So the prompt is a great start :slight_smile: Now do the following on this prompt, lines with # are comments to explain what you are doing: # download the script curl -L -o plex-claim-server.sh https://github.com/uglymagoo…

wish that were the case, i have 9 containers including plexms. all working except plexms. also when run install wget in bash it says error: file not found.

Ok. I will change the commands above to not use wget but curl. Please try this solution in one second. And please make sure you are in the correct container :slight_smile:
