Server Version#: 1.24.2.4973
Player Version#: 7.23 (iOS app)
I have a 1Gb fiber optics connection. The ISP modem is set in bridge mode with all ports open. My router (ER-6P) is connecting using PPPoE to my carrier which does not have CGNAT. My Synology NAS is connecter over ETH to the router and as a static IP address assigned (no DHCP at all). I have port forwarding rules manually set up for the different docker containers i have running on the NAS. They all work great except for Plex which goes green in “remove access” for a few seconds and then turns red. I can’t access the server from any device or app version from the internet all this while the other “services” i have (home assistant, emby, jellyfin, etc.) work great. The only reason i actually keep emby and jellyfin is Plex not working as expected.
I have tried the usual stuff like “try a new version, reboot, install, clean, install again, reconfigure port forwarding, etc.”. This is going on for quite some time and as a paying customer i want (and need) it to work.
I have the docker container set up as follows:
container_name: "plex"
image: plexinc/pms-docker:latest
mem_limit: 8192m
network_mode: host
environment:
- TZ=abcd
- PLEX_UID=1234
- PLEX_GID=123
- PLEX_CLAIM=blablabla
volumes:
- "/volume1/docker/plex:/config:rw"
- "/dev/shm:/transcode:rw"
- "/volume1/movies:/mnt/movies:rw"
- "/volume1/music:/mnt/music:rw"
- "/volume1/photo:/mnt/photos:rw"
- "/volume1/tvshows:/mnt/tvshows:rw"
devices:
- "/dev/dri:/dev/dri"
privileged: true
restart: always
Edit: I figured it out. The Synology firewall automatically opens ports according to whatever is set up in docker. This does NOT work for the Plex container. I manually opened the port in Synology and it seems to work as expected.
