Plex Pass plugin fails to start service inside jail.

[mtgeekman]

Hello,

The service inside my plex jail (from the repository) is not starting as it should. There are no error messages or log files generated that I can find with info as to why.

from within the jail:
root@plex:/ # service plexmediaserver_plexpass stop
plexmediaserver_plexpass not running? (check /var/run/plex/plex.pid).
root@plex:/ # service plexmediaserver_plexpass onestop
plexmediaserver_plexpass not running? (check /var/run/plex/plex.pid).
root@plex:/ # service plexmediaserver_plexpass onestart
Starting plexmediaserver_plexpass.
root@plex:/ # service plexmediaserver_plexpass start
Starting plexmediaserver_plexpass.


This does not start anything, though I have verified that the script to start it is running by adding an echo statement in the script to test.


This started after rebooting my freenas host server. I can ping the jail from my desktop and can ping out to the world from within the jail.

Info about my server:
FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE-U1
(Build Date: Dec 20, 2018 22:41)

Processor:
AMD Ryzen 5 2400G with Radeon Vega Graphics (8 cores)

How did you install plex? Can you outline the steps you took.

I just upgraded my system from 9.11-U6 and immediately created iocage jails. Moved existing data from warden jails to the new iocage ones and everything just worked. I was pleasantly surprised.

Jails are so easy to create from the CL, so I'm wondering if it wouldn't be easy to just blow it away and recreate.

But first let's get more background about how you installed and setup.
