I keep trying to start a server on Plex within Docker and Portainer. I followed instructions from here: Plex Media Server on OMV 5 inside Docker with Portainer using RPi 4
And it never seems to get going. The web server starts up but I get the error “A problem has been detected with a core component of Plex Media Server”. I get the logs but it’s all gibberish to me.
I have the logs for the server though I don’t even see how to attach it here.
If you were able to download the zip file, just drag it into the compose window. It will insert at the cursor location.
You can also use use the upload button at the top of the window. It is the one with the upward arrow.
If you have the individual files from the log folder, zip the entire folder before attaching, instead of uploading each file individually.
Oh, duh! Thanks for your help. Please see attached.PMSLogs.zip (1.1 MB)
Others familiar with running Plex in Docker on a RPi will need to assist (I run Plex on a Synology NAS).
However, I noticed two things in the Plex Media Server.log file:
The system cannot set the correct time:
Dec 31, 1969 19:01:09.-1261969 [0xa88f2430] ERROR - [Time] Failed to convert '1969-12-31 19:00:31' to epoch.
Other log entries have dates of 1923, 1929, 1927, & 2023.
You probably need to get the system time correct before Plex will run.
Plex Server cannot communicate with plex.tv:
Aug 15, 1971 12:40:56.-1261969 [0xa30e7430] ERROR - PublicAddressManager: Unable to get public IP adddress from myPlex (httpCode=408):
Dude, thank you. I noticed that issue too though I have no idea how to fix it. Even though you don’t have a solution, I appreciate your help. Hopefully somebody else here knows.
I set TZ=America/Toronto for my timezone which as far as I know is the correct setting. Something clearly didn’t take though I don’t know why.
Any help anybody else has would be appreciated.

Sounds like the libseccomp problem that other docker containers on raspberry pi 4 have had. Try installing the latest version manually. See FAQ - LinuxServer.io
That might fix it
Thank you. Do you mean pulling the latest image of Plex? I tried that several times without much success. Though one suggested the bionic version may fix it.
I did ultimately end up installing the non-Docker version and it works fine.
Thanks!!!
Hi Blair, your link helped. Ultimately when I tried the linuxserver/plex:bionic variant, it worked again! Bizarre.
Thanks!
