Plex media server docker initial configuration failure

Plex Media Server
1

Server Version#: 1.32.8.7639-fb6452ebf
Player Version#: n/a

I am trying to set up the docker image using bridged networking without success.

The command I am using to start the container is:

podman\
  run\
  --rm\
  --detach\
  --name plex\
  -p 32400:32400/tcp\
  -p 8324:8324/tcp\
  -p 32469:32469/tcp\
  -p 1900:1900/udp\
  -p 32410:32410/udp\
  -p 32412:32412/udp\
  -p 32413:32413/udp\
  -p 32414:32414/udp\
  -e http_proxy="http://localhost:8888"\
  -e https_proxy="http://localhost:8888"\
  -e ALLOWED_NETWORKS="172.16.0.0/16,172.18.0.0/24"\
  -e PLEX_UID="989"\
  -e PLEX_GID="989"\
  -e TZ="America/Edmonton"\
  -e PLEX_CLAIM="..."\
  -e ADVERTISE_IP="http://172.18.0.11:32400/"\
  -h PlexServer\
  -v /opt/plex/config:/config\
  -v /opt/plex/transcode:/transcode\
  -v /mnt/media:/data\
  docker.io/plexinc/pms-docker:latest

I have a proxy running on the container host that is exposed to port 8888.

I can connect to the server after starting it at http://172.18.0.11:32400/web and start the setup process, however it fails shortly after. The errors in the logs look like a process can’t access it’s own URL.

I suspect that may be because there is a proxy enabled, which of course wouldn’t know about the webserver running in the plex server.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to manage this configuration?

Thanks.
