In which order, what exactly needs to be installed?

If i click on your link, i get to github. As i know i have first to install Docker.
But which Docker Version, as you said i’m not using the right one.

If i go here:

Official Plex Media Server Docker Images - Getting Started

[image] Welcome to the Docker subforum This is where we can discuss and help each other out with running Plex Media Server in the official Docker images. Its been a while since we considered creating an official Docker image and a while ago the nice guys at https://linuxserver.io got in contact with us in regards to some Docker work which resulted in us basing our first internal testing on their work and from there on improving it to provide what we consider to be a a-grade Plex Media Server e…

It says:
To get started with Plex Media Server in Docker start by installing Docker on your platform of choice - in other words, every Docker Version should work. So apt-get install docker should be fine, right?

After installing Docker, i need to create a working Configuration.
After Config just start the Docker by Docker start blabla and then run the Script again.
Am i right or did i miss something?

I found a tutorial here:

Install Plex using Docker - Media Server to Share and Stream Media

The Installation for Docker Engine:

Guide: Install Docker on Ubuntu 16.04 to run apps in containers

Works fine from 1-5.

Installing now Plex for Docker, Point 1 works fine (sudo docker pull linuxserver/plex).
But creating the Config is not easy.
As i have PMS already running nativ on my Linux Server, i need to find out how exactly i have to build the Config for Docker Plex, to get Access to the Docker Plex, like the native Plex.

I think i have to use the Bridge Networking Mode.
And to seperate the 2nd Plex, i will need to set an another Port.
Because if i start Docker, i will get Errors.
From the Log (path: /home/docker/plex/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Logs/)
Feb 01, 2019 21:02:28.773 [0x7fd19b24c840] ERROR - Error: Unable to set up server: listen: Address already in use (N5boost16exception_detail10clone_implINS0_19error_info_injectorINS_6system12system_errorEEEEE)

Here’s my Create:
docker run -d
–name=mediathek2
–restart=always
–network=host
-p 32401:32400/tcp
-e TZ=“Europe/Berlin”
-e PLEX_CLAIM=“claim-xxx”
-e ADVERTISE_IP=“http://127.0.0.1:32400/”
-v /home/docker/plex/config:/config
-v /path/to/my/local/stuff:/stuff
linuxserver/plex

No matter if try -p 32400:32401/tcp or -p 32401:32400/tcp. Or if i type the IP of the Server instead of 127.0.0.1, with :32401 or :32400.
I get always the same Error.

Hello.
Docker Plex runs now.
I had first to stop the native Plex.

I used this Config for the Create:

sudo docker create
–name=mediathek2
–restart=always
–network=host
-p 42400:32400/tcp
-e VERSION=latest
-e PUID=1001 -e PGID=1001
-e TZ=Europe/Berlin
-e PLEX_CLAIM=“claim-bla”
-e ADVERTISE_IP=“REAL.IP:42400”
-v /home/docker/plex/config:/config
-v /home/local/path/stuff:/stuff \

I set the Port 42400 in the Settings of Docker Plex. And in the native Plex i set it 32400.
The only Problem is, i cant use both Plex Instances. I think this has something to do with the Ports and/or Portforwarding.

Can someone help?
I’m so close to run both Instances.
