When you tried to add a Library in Plex and went looking for the /sharedfolders but didn't see it, the reason is that the container is running as a user that does not have read permission on either the sharedfolder or the directory referenced by the shared folder. When you specify directorys and files within a program running inside the container, all those references must be on and along the Container paths, not the absolute filesystem locations outside the container. Not much can be said about filesystem ownership and permissions other than they must be correct or the container will not be able to communicate with the disk(s) in the machine.Ī more subtle problem has to do with relativity. Running a Bridged networking connection means you set the entire thing up by hand where every thing you specify might be a mistake or might introduce an incompatibility. Networking problems are almost completely avoided by running containers in Host networking mode which almost always just works all by itself. The top two causes of docker problems around here are incorrect networking specifications for the container and incorrect filesystem ownership and permissions on the filesystem outside the container. Yes, that's what I mean by not using shared folders. You set /config to /sharedfolders/Appdata/plex but where is /sharedfolders/Appdata/plex on your system? What is the real physical directory? Does the user you specified in PUID have read and write permissions on that directory? Thanks!įirst, are PUID and GUID a real user and group on your machine? Like I said Im pretty new so I may need more in depth explanation to understand if you are willing.

Sorry if I sound dumb but I want to actually understand what is wrong and how to fix it. So does this still sound like a filesystem permissions issue?Īlso, what exactly do you mean by not using shared folders but instead filesystem location? Do you mean set it to /appdata instead of /sharedfolders/appdata, so I would be making a new folder in the main directly instead of as a shared folder? So the docker is using the appdata shared folder but the plex application itself cant even see /sharedfolders. I see everthing like /root, /usr, /etc, whatever else, but no /sharedfolders. Then I open plex and add a library, look for folder location. There is not /library setting which I think was shown in the video Set /config under /sharedfolders/Appdata/plex Use the actual filesystem locations instead, but only after you are sure the permissions on those filesystem locations are correct.Īlright, so how can I check/change file system permissions for the shared folders? The way I have it setup, which is the same as in the tutorial videos, is this: The easiest way to avoid problems like this is to NOT use Shared Folders in docker Volume and bind mount settings. I never make any Privileges and/or ACL settings in the OMV Shared Folders panel. And it's the latter that are vitally important. Check these very carefully.īe advised that setting Privileges and/or ACLs in the OMV Shared Folders panel is not the same thing as setting file system permissions.

Most likely explanation for your troubles is that the user the containers run as does not have adequate permissions to access the shared folders and/or the the actual file systems directories on the disks.

If I were to try and edit them they will dissapear though. I currently have a tranmission with OpenVPN docker and nextcloud docker up and they seem to be running properly. They just vanish if I edit or stop running them. But this happens to every single docker image I try to run. I know I had done this before and was able to edit. Then the docker container just dissapears and I have to set it up all over again. Once I have the docker running, I try to set the media folders in plex or emby and I cannot see my shared folders which is where my media is located.Īnother issue I'm facing is anytime I try to edit a docker I get and error upon saving. I've followed tutorials from Technodad Life on installing and it goes just fine. I've tried setting up dockers for plex and emby, but for some reason they cannot see my shared folders. I'm having some issues with docker though and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or there is an issue with my install.įor simplicity I setup my shared folders to be read and write for everyone. Hello, Im pretty new to all this but I've been following tutorial videos and threads to setup my OMV server.
