Raspberry PI OMV5 and Plex

Plex Media Server NAS & Devices

Server Version#: 1.21.0.3616
Player Version#:
I used to have an older version of Open Media Player running on this Raspberry Pi as a NAS and a Plex server, and it worked well. But something happened to my micro SD card, so I got a new one, and installed everything again, except OMV changed a bit. Now they are using Dockers. I will admit, I am not well versed in Linux, but I can usually muddle my way thru. My Raspberry is loading everything perfectly, OMV starts up and runs just as good. The Samba share is working better than it was before. But as soon as I try to get Plex working, No joy. I try to start it up and it fails, telling me there is an error with a component. I get past that into the Plex server itself, and it see’s the Raspberry Pi, but the one thing it does not do is claim the server. I get the message “This server is unclaimed and not secure” Remote access is also flagged as having failed, but I could care less about that. I have gone into my Plex.tv account and unauthorized EVERYTHING list as being authorized, except for the current browser session. My Plex account seems to be fine, my Roku allows me to play live streams from Plex. I just cannot seem to make any headway with the server. Any idea’s, tips or pointers, or even a sharp rap upside the head for missing something obvious (as long as you tell me what I missed) would be appreciated.(File removed)

Well never mind. I found a solution.

In the container use linuxserver/plex:bionic as the image instead of
ghcr.io/linuxserver/plex or linuxserver/plex

Thank you. I’ve been pulling my hair out. OMV5 on Pi4 with Plex installed via Docker and Portainer. Everything was working then it just stopped. Got constant errors saying it couldn’t reach the server on the pi.

Tried a fresh install but still nothing. Logging in Portainer just showed constant server start messages.

I tried your suggestion for the bionic tag and it’s working again. I’d love to know what went wrong.

Hello, I had an issue after an update of the image. I used the tag :latest. I tried your solution and used the tag :bionic and now it works correctly :raised_hands:.

I have also seen that Plex propose a solution to use its own Docker image for ARM GitHub - plexinc/pms-docker: Plex Media Server Docker repo, for all your PMS docker needs. :point_down:

The provided docker-compose templates use the plexinc/pms-docker image which is the amd64 build and won’t work on ARM devices.

To use docker-compose with ARM devices, you must first build one of the ARM images locally.

docker build -t plexinc/pms-docker:latest -f Dockerfile.armv7 . # or arm64

Then you can docker-compose up.

Maybe we could try this one to be safer.
