[Solved] Where did Plex go?

Post by envygreen »

Ok yeah, noob here. A couple weeks ago, I found YAMS, thought it was awesome, and spent a couple days getting everything set up. Took a while to figure out how to map an external USB drive but otherwise wasn't too complicated.

I was able to view movies and listen to music. Then this past weekend my wife let me know that "Plex is down again" and I was annoyed. Now I'm just perplexed. My ubuntu box was still on and online. Docker is running, and Portainer sees the YAMS stack.

But... there's no Plex in my stack any longer? Any idea what might have happened or how to fix?

This is extremely weird :?:

Did you restart YAMS? Don't restart it now, answer this question first

Can you send the output of docker ps -a?

Can you see logs coming from Plex? (docker logs --follow plex)

I thought so too! The box has been rebooted since then (moved it back to the utility closet). Here's the output -

Yes, Plex is not running.

Can you send your full docker-compose file? Please, use a Pastebin service, do not paste it here!

And how about your .env file? It's located in the same place, but hidden (you can run cat /my/install/location/.env)

Make sure you remove your VPN configuration before uploading the Pastebin.

It looks like you might be having a problem with MEDIA_DIRECTORY. Spaces are not permitted, you need to properly escape them.

In your .env file change

Code: Select all

MEDIA_DIRECTORY=/media/envygreen/Media Library Primary/Videos

To

Code: Select all

MEDIA_DIRECTORY=/media/envygreen/Media\ Library\ Primary/Videos

And run yams restart to see if it fixes it.

That seems to have done the trick! I'll update if it craps out again. Thanks for the help man!
