I tried making the container priviliged and also making all of plex r/w but no cigar. Running on Unraid.

Most common causes of this:

  1. Not matching the UID/GID correctly
  2. We have found 'docker-mods' causes false reporting of not being able to write.

I ended up setting up an ubuntu VM and using that and it ran fine, I had to disable that error detection though, what is that exactly?

ChuckPa commented 5 months ago

If you mean "ignore errors" then it will continue without stopping unless the DB is completely unusable.

If you were in a VM with uid/gid matching -or- root passthrough correct to the mapped directory, it should have worked.

I wish I could figure out why some docker images don't behave nicely
