Plex server stop and Sqlite3: Sleeping for 200ms to retry busy DB is reported in the Log file

Server Version#: 1.24.5.5173
Player Version#: N/A

Plex server running in docker container under Synology hangs with this message every week or so. I saw the other locked thread about optimizing the DB but I am already set to auto optimize every week and manually optimizing runs with no errors.

I don’t think it’s performance related since it’s a beefy machine and usually only one 1080p stream going at a time. I had the same library on a much slower synology box and it worked fine but that wasn’t running under docker. I’m guessing it is maybe docker specific since everyone with this error is running under docker. Really not looking forward to un-dockerizing everything again.

EDIT: Found this script to restart plex when it hangs… going with this

github.com

kamos69/scripts/blob/master/plexdockerchecker.sh

#!/bin/bash
#name=Plex Media Server check and restart
#description=This script will restart PLEX if it does not respond after two attempts.

dockerid=$(docker ps -aqf "name=plex")
if [ "$dockerid" == "" ]; then
	echo "ERR $(date) - Could not get a docker id for docker name \"Plex\"."
	exit 1;
fi

# Do not check between 1:55am to 2:30am
currentTime=`date +"%H%M%S"`
if [[ ! ( "$currentTime" < "015500" || "$currentTime" > "023000" ) ]]; then
	exit 0;
fi

firstcheck=$((curl -sSf -m30 http://127.0.0.1:32400/web/) 2>&1)
if [ "$firstcheck" != "" ]; then
