plex upgrade error: Limit must be set for non overcommitable resources

[dirtyfreebooter]

every time i try and upgrade plex i get this:

Code:

i have no clue what that means. anyone have any idea? thanks

Seems to be related to issues with limit resources in Kubernetes from the latest update.

Selecting Pool fails

When I click the Apps tab I'm prompted to 'Choose a pool for Apps' After I select my pool and click Choose The following appears for about 20 seconds (no change to the percentage) Configuring kubernetes.update 0.00% Fetching data Then I get the error: Error: [EFAULT] Missing 'cpu, cpuset...

Apps not working after update

Updated from 22.12.0 to 22.12.2 and now my apps are not working. I get this error message: Failed to configure kubernetes cluster for Applications: Missing 'cpu, cpuset, hugetlb' cgroup controller(s) which are required for apps to function I tried unset pool, restarting the system and setting...

Could be that if you have numerous pools you can unset, move, and move back after numerous restarts to get it back. Kinda janky, but it's worked for some. I'm not there yet.

I have this exact same issue. I was able to get rid of it by disabling GPU support (seems to be something to do with allocating my iGPU), but that is a temporary gimped workaround.

I've gone so far as trying to deploy a whole new app with nothing set, and it still gives the error. I have no other apps mapped to the GPU, so I don't know what's going on.

Yeah struggling to get plex back working which is very annoying getting the same messages

I ended up installing the TrueCharts version in the meantime, which I'm not too jazzed about as it requires me to set up port forwarding on my router. By getting the deployment from k3s, I saw the following:

Seems line 106 may be at fault. However,
I even went so far as running `k3s kubectl edit deployment plex --namespace=ix-plex` and manually added in

```yaml
resources:
limits:
cpu: "4"
memory: 8Gi
```
and reattempted to deploy, but even that didn't do anything...

I also just deleted both the app and the docker image and attempted to redeploy with no GPU resources allocated, and still got the error. Seems there's some issue with GPU allocation with this release of the chart, as disabling it for all apps in advanced settings clears up the issue.

 

[lupinlicious]

I also have the same issue with TrueNAS-SCALE-22.12.2. Cannot install Plex, same errors as above.
Tried to install another application which was successful but cannot start it.

Same issue here.

[EFAULT] Failed to upgrade chart release: Error: UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "plex" with kind Deployment: Deployment.apps "plex" is invalid: spec.template.spec.containers[0].resources.limits: Required value: Limit must be set for non overcommitable resources

Is there legit fix for this?

TIA

I just rolled back to plex app version 1.7.38, that went well without any errors

I just rolled back to plex app version 1.7.38, that went well without any errors

I'm new to using TrueNAS, let alone SCALE. How does one acquire the image for 1.7.38 for rollback?

 

[chase-san-antonio-texas]

I am having the same issue after the upgrade and I would also like to know where to get the 1.7.38. The app store only allows the 1.32.0.6973_1.7.40. I uninstalled everything thinking it was some other issue before realizing it was a version bug.

 

[chase-san-antonio-texas]

Update: Yes I also got mine working by going to advanced settings and disabling the GPU support. Thanks guys!

Just know that by doing that you'll be using your CPU for transcoding rather than the integrated graphics, which could shoot up your CPU usage and likely lead to buffering issues. This is especially true in transcoding 4K content and remote access. This is why in the interim I moved to TrueCharts until using the official image can be fixed.

 

[fayelund]

I had the option to roll back to earlier version of plex, through the menu on the app(same place as you perform the upgrade). It also seems like on new installs I can choose the version to install, so taht should make installing 1.7.38 possible.
This might not work for others, but it did for me.

I am running an AMD Ryzen 5600G right now, I don't know how good the CPU transcoding is on that CPU but it should be pretty decent—got any links for installing TrueCharts?

Here's the docs for getting started with TrueCharts

That being said, for actually getting it up and running on your system it was more laborious than setting it up with the official app. You'll need to set up port forwarding on your router, and ensure that you add your Host NAS IP and router IP into the list of accepted IPs in the config.

Just make sure that you set it up to use the same user you made for Plex datasets as you did with the official app, else you'll have to deal with permissions hell.

 

[pawel.sparks]

Disable GPU support in Applications, Advanced Settings. Install Plex. Re enable GPU support.

This worked for me

 

[ShaggyKris]

Disable GPU support in Applications, Advanced Settings. Install Plex. Re enable GPU support.

This worked for me

You can do that, but it won't use your GPU as a result. Can confirm via transcode testing using my phone. This was one of the first things I tried.

 

[pawel.sparks]

Disable GPU support in Applications, Advanced Settings. Install Plex. Re enable GPU support.

This worked for me

Seems I spoke too soon. Re enabling the GPU support causes the same problem with Plex

 

[ekrunch]

Disable GPU support in Applications, Advanced Settings. Install Plex. Re enable GPU support.

This worked for me

Disabling GPU support worked great. I haven't re-enabled it as I have an AMD Ryzen 5600G and Plex doesn't seem to use it anyway, so no loss for me.

Thanks for the tip!
