Trying to Move Plex Database to New User

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

I decided that it would be a good idea to ‘containerize’ my home media configuration on my Mac Media Server (running MacOS Sierra). To keep things clean I opted to setup the new containerized versions of the various software that I use under a new user (docker user).

I am using the official Plex container pulled from the plexinc/pms-docker container and a docker-compose file as shown below:

Plex Media Server

  plexms:
    container_name: plexms
    hostname: plexms_docker
    restart: always
    image: plexinc/pms-docker
    volumes:
      - ${USERDIR}/docker/plexms:/config
      - ${DATADIR_2}/downloaded/plex_tmp:/transcode
      - ${DATADIR_1}/Public/iMac\ Movies:/media
      - ${DATADIR_1}/Public/iMac\ Music:/media
      - ${DATADIR_1}/Public/TV:/media
      - ${DATADIR_1}/Public/iMac\ Pictures:/media 
      - ${USERDIR}/docker/shared:/shared

# changed all 32xxx ports to 38xxx ports to see if it negates port in use
# errors
    ports:
      - "38400:32400/tcp"  # use 33400
      - "3005:3005/tcp"
      - "8324:8324/tcp"
      - "38469:32469/tcp" # complains already in use - switch to 32470
      - "1900:1900/udp"
      - "38410:32410/udp"
      - "38412:32412/udp"
      - "38413:32413/udp"
      - "38414:32414/udp"
    environment:
      - TZ=${TZ}
      - HOSTNAME="Docker Plex"
      - PLEX_CLAIM="claim-GarRfKZV6U3gFkQP2rqN"
      - PLEX_UID=${PUID}
      - PLEX_GID=${PGID}
      - ADVERTISE_IP="http://192.168.10.26:38400/"

Although the container starts I cannot connect using localhost:38400. An excerpt from the start of the container log is shown below:

I’d appreciate feedback on what I may have misconfigured in the Docker-compose file. As far as I can tell it is more or less similar to that provided on the Plexinc/pms-docker Github site.
