We did learn last night that the Arch linux container (Please look at the thread I split out) contains working code for Arch and should also work for all docker container implementations.
I’m working right now (semi-manually) using OMV + Docker and testing.
I’m loading up a 340K episode dummy database.
From there, I should be able to plot and determine the point of diminishing returns.
This is important for all small-memory systems because it will take from system memory. When you only have 1 GB of RAM, 200 MB is a lot)
Not sure if this has anything to do with what’s being discussed here, but I checked on the size of my databases yesterday and noticed that I now have a com.plexapp.plugins.library.db-wal file that’s larger than my current database. It was tiny just a few days ago.
WAL is the SQLite write-ahead log. In-flight transactions are written to the WAL first.
WAL files can grow for a number of reasons, and a large WAL file isn’t necessarily a sign of anything wrong. It can be but it’s not an immediate red flag.
WAL files should be removed when a database file is closed cleanly.
If you shut down Plex, are the WAL files removed?
If not, after stopping Plex, does running Plex\ SQLite com.plexapp.plugins.library.db "select count(1) from accounts" remove the WAL file?
I wonder if this should move to a different thread.
But I’ve seen something similar.
I’ve noticed that on FreeBSD, Plex doesn’t seem to shut down cleanly. Which means that WAL files aren’t deleted.
Plex on FreeBSD doesn’t shutdown with a normal kill -15. The FreeBSD port rc script even performs kill -9. That’s quite odd and I’ve been meaning to investigate.
What does the runcontrol for Plex Media Server Linux look like? How is it told to stop?
Point me to where the default locations are please ? %APPDATA doesn’t seem to exist from the command line (or I’m driving the wrong end of the bus) nor can I find the Plex executables . LOL
Type %LOCALAPPDATA% in an Explorer location bar. There’s a Plex Media Server directory in there.
It’s usually C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local.
Windows does this hologram insanity with Program Files vs. Program Files (x86). The amount of backwards compatibility built into Windows is really stunning. Try %ProgramFiles%.
