Server Version#: 1.21.0.3616
I’ve been running PMS on a Windows server for many years. About this time last year, I moved it to Ubuntu and Docker using the official container. During that time, I’ve updated the container many times, restarted the server at least once a month or so, and I’ve never really had a problem until now.
A few days ago, after a power loss, when my server came back up and I opened my PMS web, it was the new setup screen “How Plex Works”. When you click “Got It!” it goes to the Server Setup screen.
I checked my plexmediaserver folder structure and everything seems to be there. I see log files from the last few months, all of the metadata, etc. In fact, it’s updating the logs in there currently. So I really don’t understand why it doesn’t see the server. While I can certainly rebuild it, I don’t really want to lose years worth of “Watched” status, all of my custom collections, etc. Plus, I really don’t want to risk this happening again.
Any ideas how to get it back to seeing the server again?
Here is my Docker-compose for Plex:
