Private IP assigned to the server is wrong / correct

[radumza]

Server Version#: Version 1.19.4.2902

Hello,

I know it has been written in the past about the issue where Plex is using the first network interface with a valid gatway.

Private 10.42.1.73 : 32400 Public 88.xx.xxx.xx : 32400 Internet

The above example is what I am experiencing, and it happens because I am running Plex in a Kubernetes cluster.

The reality is that my cluster also exposes Plex under my local network 192.168.0.xxx and it works just fine.

Because plex binds itself to the internal cluster IP makes it unavailable within my local network, unless I enable remote connections.

Is there a workaround for this? Has anyone solved this problem in the past?

All the threads I have read don’t really provide a solution.

Thank you

If you haven’t already, make sure to select your preferred interface for local connections under Settings -> Network:

If you’ve already done that it does not help, provide the output of running ip route from the terminal. It may be possible to modify the route metrics such that the one associated with your preferred interface is used.

Yeah I have already checked that, but I can only see the cluster associated IP:

my container does’t have IP command, is there an alternative?

Try using route instead. It will print the same information.
