Server Version#: 1.32.5.7349 (in a Ubuntu LXC container on Proxmox)
Player Version#: NA
I recently installed Plex on my Proxmox 8.0 host, using an LXC container. It has been working great, HW transcode, good performance etc… I’m very happy.
I used this guide to install Plex ( How to install Plex Media Server in a Proxmox Linux Container (LXC) · GeekBitZone.com - Passionate About Tech ). My library is on another host, I am using cifs to access it, ~35TB of data.
I have noticed, that the Plex container is completely consuming all available space on my LXC boot disk. I have currently allocated 60GB (which should be overkill, right?) , and after ~2 days it is full. The /tmp directory in the container contains many TB of data. From the file names, it seems to be related to credits detection. A simple reboot of the container solves the issue, the boot disk shrinks to ~12GB. This happens, whether Plex is being used or not to stream content. The LXC container has 4 CPU cores and 8GB RAM assigned.
Proxmox and the Ubuntu LXC are completely up to date. Using Plexpass. Does anyone have an idea what might be going on? Thanks so much.
