Plex docker image should not change permissions on mounted volumes if PID and GID is defined

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Hi,
i was using

-e PUID=1000 \
-e PGID=1000 \

24

That does not match documentation

PLEX_UID The user id of the plex user created inside the container.
PLEX_GID The group id of the plex group created inside the container

25

does this make it better or worse. Since that means that plex was managing the rights from the get go and still was running a chown after the update.

26

I am also using

PUID=1000

PGID=1000

This solved the problem for me.

I updated my docker compose file to replace PUID → PLEX_UID and GUID→PLEX_GID and then chown’d my config directory back to match the user and group (with 755 permissions). Now I’m back up and running on the latest docker version (1.42.1.10060).

Thanks again for the help!

This was fixed 2 weeks ago but unsure when they will push a new docker build
