PlexConnect Docker ..... edit Settings.cfg?

Hi,

 

I have a PlexConnect docker working fine in unRAID 6.0 beta 12 except I need to be able to edit the Settings.cfg file to add my Unotelly VPN DNS in place of the Google DNS.    Docker is read only so anyone in my situation have a workaround or a way of achieving this?

Can you chmod the file to set permissions? Can you ssh into it or fire up terminal? Im not to familiar with unraid.

I believe the command is chmod 777 (your file) or chmod 4755 (your file) for example after you cd to your PlexConect base directory:

chmod 4755 Settings.cfg

Well sort of.  The file is in RAM I think. Any changes are read only so don't stick.  This is a Docker specific problem.

After you figure it out restart plexconnect and you should be set. Which I could assist you further, give it a bit I'm sure someone will assist you.

Thanks.  Works fine otherwise; just need to change this one setting.

I have no idea about Docker, but given you had to add the Plexconnect files in the first place, you should be able to create the settings.cfg file with all your required settings and then Plexconnect will just use this file when it starts.


Also you might want to consider looking into similar for the ATVSettings.cfg file as this holds the settings specific to the ATV(s)

All fixed. UnRAID user pducharme made a docker container that allowed a DNS switch. Works awesome and has the Pillow files included.
