Plex on TrueNAS SCALE: Two different IP addresses

[Mark Holtz]

So, this is weird... I'm trying to setup Plex on TrueNAS SCALE using the App. I thought I had enabled "Host Network" so that Plex would be accessable via my network's 192.168.1.x address and I can establish port forwarding. However, that box is unchecked, yet I'm able to access by the 192.168.1.2:32400 address:



When I shell into the Docker instance, I am seeing the following:

# hostname -I 172.16.0.14

What am I doing wrong?

Also, when I attempt to enable the Host Network, it gets stuck on "Deploying" with the following error messages:

[B]2024-03-30 09:40:30[/B]0/1 nodes are available: 1 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports. preemption: 0/1 nodes are available: 1 No preemption victims found for incoming pod..

I just deleted and redeployed the Plex instance and.... I still get the error message "2024-03-30 16:44:590/1 nodes are available: 1 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports. preemption: 0/1 nodes are available: 1 No preemption victims found for incoming pod.." I did change the port from 32400 to 32300, but to no avail. When I remove the "Host Network", the Plex instance does come up, but I'm getting a "Indirect connection" Message.

I have host enabled and didnt do anything special to get it working... do you have a single network interface or multiple ones - assuming only one how did you configure it? Mine has DHCP off with IP address with /24 mask but pretty straight forward as well... I have IPv6 off as well... sorry other than checking your network config for Truenas itself I dont see anything wrong wiht the configuration...

While the motherboard has two network interfaces, I am only using one. When I disabled IPv6 within Plex then enable the host interface, I'm getting the error message:

2024-03-30 23:12:280/1 nodes are available: 1 node(s) didn't have free ports for the requested pod ports. preemption: 0/1 nodes are available: 1 No preemption victims found for incoming pod..

Sounds more like a Kubernetes fubar than a networking issue - did you try restarting truenas after install? Sorry Im not very familiar with getting kubernetes to work so outside of reboot and see what happens Im out of ideas

I just resolved the same issue.

In plex
Settings → Network → Preferred Network Interface → Change it to your host nic.

I changed the Preferred network interface from "Any" to "eth0 (172.16.0.31)", then tried enabled the host network. No joy.
