Creating Plex Server LXC Container in Proxmox with a binded ZFS Pool - Home Server

[@solicearc]

Great content! Thank you. Just a note that they seem to have changed the behaviour of the pct command. you need to add "volume=" before the mount path Example: pct set [LXC id name] -mp0 volume=mypool/Movies,mp=/Movies

Thanks for the heads up!

I appreciate the clear and straight to the point video

When I ls on my Storage zfs pool it just shows the subvol-102-disk-0 My share doesn't show until I go into that folder. How is your not showing that? Did I miss something from the last video on samba?

[@Cuevista]

No, you did not miss anything. I actually renamed my folder structure in between this video and the previous video. You will just have to use subvol-102-disk-0 in your path name.

Thank you a lot! I was looking for this a long time! Kepp up the good work!

[@Aghnanster]

Thanks, how would i actually copy files from another vm or pc to the ZFS pool so i can watch them in plex?

[@Cuevista]

@@Aghnanster I would set up a network share on the ZFS pool like on my video prior to this then set up a network share on the vm or pc and perform a copy and paste.

@@Cuevista Thanks! worked

When i go to the IP, it's telling me "Not authorized", that I "do not have access to this server" and I need to "claim it" be going to the Plex menu in the macOS menu bar or Windows system tray.. Any idea why?

[@Cuevista]

@@JordanFD I'm not familiar with that particular error.

[@JordanFD]

@@Cuevista I was able to finally figure it out. I had to set up a VPN tunnel to the plex server in Proxmox from my PC, then log in to plex using the localhost web address.

[@Cuevista]

@@JordanFD Good to hear, thanks for posting your solution.

Add this line of code to LXC configuration, maybe you able to enable hardware acceleration. Its working for me, Last night I had installed plex in LXC, but I did not get enough time to test it properly I am using Hp 800 G3 Tiny PC Intel Core i5 6th gen lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 226:0 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 226:128 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 4:7 rwm lxc.cgroup.devices.allow: c 29:0 rwm lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri/card1 dev/dri/card1 none bind,optional,create=file lxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri/renderD128 dev/dri/renderD128 none bind,optional,create=file lxc.mount.entry: /dev/tty7 dev/tty7 none bind,optional,create=file lxc.mount.entry: /dev/fb0 dev/fb0 none bind,optional,create=file
