  • So is the issue that your extra drive mounts to /storage, but that happens after Docker has already started and taken over the directory, so the mount fails? Normally I’d expect it to happen in the other order. Is this a weird race condition?

    This might be a good thing to run through with ChatGPT- there are probably ways to delay the Docker container start, but maybe there’s a more significant misconfiguration you can deal with.











  • I have a Plex Pass and my users are still getting this.

    To be crystal clear to anyone getting this email: if the server admin has a Plex Pass, users need to do nothing to continue as normal. The streaming pass is only for users who aren’t connecting to a server that has a Plex Pass.

    What I find shitty about this is that it’s being indiscriminately sent to every Plex account. There’s bound to be lots of people who don’t understand what this means who will be tricked into buying a streaming pass they don’t need at all. I’ve been getting messages from my users all day asking wtf is going on, and I’m getting tired of trying to convince them to just ignore the email.


  • Read the email again. The key word in their marketing slop is “alternatively”. You have a Plex Pass and are the server admin. Your users need to do nothing.

    Unfortunately, that does mean I have to respond to messages from all my users asking what that email means and convince them they can just ignore it.

    A second “nice” part of this change is that iOS users no longer have to buy the Plex app on the App Store to stream longer than a minute. The app is only like 5 bucks one time, but it was a barrier when trying to convince stubborn people to just fucking TRY my Plex server.
