Plex using Ansible and Docker

Question

I've been using Plex on my home server for a while and I have bought a few upgrades for my NAS so decided to try to automate a docker setup. I am completely new to Ansible and only quite simple exposure to Docker. Most things seem to have worked except for the actual Plex deployment.

I tried adjusting the become paramter in-case this could help, initially I used it for all commands, but I really wasn't sure what I am doing so I have come here.

The error I am getting is;

Error: Unable to set up server: sqlite3_statement_backend::loadOne: database   is locked
Starting Plex Media Server.
6 3000 /config/Library/Application Support
8192

I have checked the file itself on the NAS drive and has the following properties, where Support is the ssh user;

208 -rwxr-xr-x 1 support root 209920 Apr 30 12:21 com.plexapp.plugins.library.db

And the Playbook I have created is as follows;

# Install Docker
- hosts: mediaservers
  remote_user: support
  roles:
    - { role: angstwad.docker_ubuntu, sudo: yes }

# Mount NAS and create folders

          '/mnt/NAS/universe-01/media/photos:/data/photos'
        ]
        env:
          VERSION: latest
          PGID: 999
          PUID: 1000

Answer 1

I had similar errors when using Docker on Windows . For me the problem was that I was assigning wrong PUID and PGID to the plex container I was using. Once I assigned the proper id, the server ran without any errors.

Not exactly your problem, but I hope this helps.
