Unable to use network drive for plex/config volume

Closed this issue · 3 comments

Hi, first, great work :)
But I have an issue, if I try to use a network drive to store the plex/config and /plex/data, but my plex media server does not start.
If I use a local directory (on the raspberry pi 3 sd card, like /home/pi/media/plex/config) it works like a charm.
I use to have sd card corruption issues on my previous plex installs. I would like to store the config and data on a bigger network drive.

FYI, I mount the drive on startup on /home/pi/media/PlexHDD, it's a FAT32 hdd drive, SMB1 (old apple timecapsule)

Below the error from the logs

pi@raspberrypi3:~/media $ docker logs -f plex
Error in command line:the argument for option '--serverUuid' should follow immediately after the equal sign
Crash Uploader options (all are required):
--directory arg Directory to scan for crash reports

--device arg Device string
--model arg Device model string
--sentryUrl arg Sentry URL to upload to
--sentryKey arg Sentry Key for the project

^C

And the docker command I use

docker run -d --name plex --net host -p 32400:32400 --restart always --volume /home/pi/media/PlexHDD/plex/config:/config --volume /home/pi/media/PlexHDD/plex/data:/data --volume /home/pi/media/PlexHDD:/PlexHDD --volume /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro greensheep/plex-server-docker-rpi:latest

any ideas ?

Hi! Not sure what that could be, but a quick google suggests it may not be network drive related. I use a USB drive for my setup so it would be difficult for me to replicate.

Sorry I can't be of more help, let me know if you get it fixed!

Ok I will try a USB drive. The network drive looks good. I can create modify files... I’ll keep you informed !

USB Drive works, network drive don't (for me)
