I’ve been using the plexpass docker image for a log time now but yesterday had reason to restart the images so I foolishly pulled the latest image at the same time.
Now the container won’t start.
In the container logs I get this:

I run 2 servers to separate out some of the media and the Synology package isn’t that up to date from what I’ve seen.
It’s been running fine for a couple of years it’s just this last update thats not working.
I suspect it’s to do with the base image ubuntu version update.
Still doesn’t solve the 2 instances need.
To be honest I like using docker containers as it’s made moving between physical hardware much easier in the past.
Running with DEBUG=true on I can this around the first reported error:
+ getVersionInfo beta jesyQJz23tdwXfyx5yQY remoteVersion remoteFile
+ local version=beta
+ local token=jesyQJz23tdwXfyx5yQY
+ declare -n remoteVersion=remoteVersion
/plex-common.sh: line 26: declare: warning: remoteVersion: circular name reference

+ declare -n remoteFile=remoteFile
/plex-common.sh: line 27: declare: warning: remoteFile: circular name reference
/plex-common.sh: line 27: warning: remoteFile: circular name reference
So it does look like an issue in the plex scripts somewhere.
I’m having the same error on my setup. I deployed plexpass docker yesterday for the first time (I’ve been using the Plex app for my QNAP for years), everything was working fine, then today I restarted the container and I’m getting the error
s6-applyuidgid: fatal: unable to exec /usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server: No such file or directory
I don’t think it’s a DNS problem since from within the container the curl command works fine, but it seems there’s something wrong with version check (‘Could not get update version’), here’s my debug log:

Container works fine with pms-docker:latest image, but I’m wondering what the problem could be with plexpass image…
There’s something weird because last week my container with plexpass image was starting correctly, I made some testing (it’s not my daily-use instance of plex) and stopped the container. After reading your post I tried to start it again and the error showed up again.
