I’ve been having issues with my plex server lately running in docker on unraid. The issue starts as not being able to load the home page and quickly after that no libraries will load or the home page. using tuatulli about this time is when plex stops importing new videos.
restarting the docker results in a loop where the PMS attempts to start but fails so tries again.
This has occured on several versions of plex starting from 6.6.7 through until current. al-l versions with and without the unraid nvidia drivers installed.
this is also occurring on PMS docker files from different sources including the linxserver, plexinc and binhex dockers.
the only way I have been able to get PMS to work again after this happens is to sFTP into the appdata directory and ensure all traces of the previous install has been removed. my last install lasted 3 weeks and I thought the issue was resolved, the time before that was 4 days (shortly after it finished importing all the data)
Hardware
Dell R510 with the following setup
Intel Xeon X5650 x 2
48GB ECC DDR3 memry
geforce GTX 1050
4 x seagate ironwolf 8tb Drives
1 x WD green 5tb drive
other docker files running
duck DNS
letsencrypt
sonarr
radarr
lidarr
NZBget
tuatulli
syncthing
ombi
openvpn access server

I am getting to the point where I am thinking of using a dedicated low power device such as a NUC to host PMS and act as a media client in order to resolve this issue
