Launching a Docker Image using Launch Docker Image

[NugentS]

I picked Plex as an example - but I am trying to Launch a Native Plex Container, not using the TrueCharts or Plex official images behind a different IP on an interface. At the moment I am getting nothing. I am not expecting access to any media at this stage - just access to the Plex Media interface so I can work from there. I am unsure of what I should / should not be doing

More details to follow
So I picked (at not so random): linuxserver/plex

The end result of this is

I can ping 192.168.38.247 - which is a +ve step
Telnet 192.168.38.247 32400 shows something there
Browsing to http:\\192.168.38.247:32400 comes up with a text XML file that looks kinda plex related
and https:\\192.168.38.247:32400 does nothing

I am not a container expert - so I am 99% certain its me doing something wrong - but I have no idea what.

Anyone care to make a suggestion?

Did you try: http://192.168.38.247:32400/web/index.html#!/

Sigh - no I hadn't

Did that work?

I ran into this same issue the other day and using the longer URL worked.

 

[NugentS]

Yes it worked. Now to add external storage etc
Which I have now done and plex seems to work from behind a different IP address on my main NIC - Yeah

 

[indivision]

Cool. I could have sworn that they previously had something in there to forward from the plain IP to the longer URL...

 

[NugentS]

Clearly not with that particular container.

Thanks for the info

Thanks for this post and images of container parameters. Back when I was working in DevOps I used Docker via CLI a lot, but with TrueNAS's GUI interface it's hard to know what exactly to fuss with.. that and having been off the horse for a few years doesn't help!

You'd think apps would have forwarding from the root path to the application path built in, but even with those that do, traefik seems to mess with it, so finding the right path can be annoying.

That has been my experience too. I have resigned myself to accepting that this OS is for "ClickOps Engineers" and not "DevOps Engineers". They have designed it to make it idiot proof, but in doing so, they castrated it.
