Unable to access server from browser. Remote users and Apple TV locally have no issues with access

Plex Media Server
1

I have been running plex via Proxmox in an LXC container for about a month. but now i cannot access via the browser on any machine in my house, on any browser. External users can access normally, and my Apple TV can connect as well. The server is still listed in my devices.

please help!!!

Easy solution to this:

  1. Get into the LXC at the shell command line
  2. get my shell script into the container
  3. as root user, execute it
  4. It will want, and wait for, a claim token
  5. Get and paste that in (See the “README.md” for examples/documentation)
  6. It will negotiate new credentials from the claim token and reattach the server to your account

thank you for the reply!

when i ran the script in the container, i got this error:

ERROR: Could not get credentials from plex.tv (Error: 6)

Thank you.

Error 6 = DNS Lookup error.

The container can’t get out to lookup the name “Plex.tv”

My script is printing out the raw error code which is exactly what’s needed here

Exit code(6): error "No such device or address"
