Plex Server Not Starting "Critical: libusb_init failed"

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

After setting up a Plex server using docker-compose, I’m unable to reach the server. According to my log below, I think the problem is “Critical: libusb_init failed” however, after looking online, it seems it’s not really an issue.

I also tried without:

      - /dev/dri:/dev/dri

to no success

Critical: libusb_init failed

Found the issue. My network_mode was set to “bridge” instead of “host”. Changed that, and now everything works fine.
“Critical: libusb_init failed” is still showing, but doesn’t impact my server.
