Plex server has been working for 16 months no problems then last week it went down. Could manually restart and it would stay up for 5-15 min.

ERROR

Running Plex Media Server on Docker via Unraid.

Problems started happening 2 nights ago but now it won’t get to gui at all.
Runing latest version of server for docker.

Can anyone help??

Have you verified that the user the container is running as has read/write access to that path?

It was with no changes to the server. Would it have reverted somehow?

5

Why don’t you just check the permissions as suggested?

Drive was failing, was able to replace and did an rsync. It’s been working 100% all afternoon.
