Continued smol brain adventures in Docker

So I managed to get Docker set up (I think) with the help of a script called Deployrr, then used the linuxserver.io docker file thing.

The plex media server runs and I can see all my content in the web UI, however none of the plex apps can connect to it.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction to fix this without doxxing myself?

    This sounds like it’s a networking issue. Are you able to access the webui from other computers besides the computer that Plex is running on?

    The linuxserver docs have a snippet on configuring networking for plex.

        Why not just install Plex without docker? There’s a package for it on the AUR and it would simplify a lot of things where the only thing you’d have to worry about is opening the ports on your firewall (which you can do with a program called ufw quite easily).

        Docker is mostly meant for cloud/constrained environments but since you have a Arch based distribution on a personal computer, docker is very optional.
