Comment on Plex has paywalled my server!
Nibodhika@lemmy.world 3 days agoI can’t speak for OP, but I self host lots of stuff, have literally dozens of services running, have an Ansible repo to manage it all and routi some stuff through a VPS, not to mention my day job has included managing services in one way or another for a long while. This is to say, I know what I’m doing. I couldn’t setup Plex to work the way I wanted to, they expect it to run in a docker with network set to host mode, I couldn’t find any way to tell Plex that my living room TV was in the same network, it just wouldn’t accept any connections as local. I know I shot myself in the foot here by not letting it run with network on host mode, but I shouldn’t have to, the port was exposed, I could reach it through the local network IP, but I wasn’t able to stream any content locally.

If you don’t set it to host, the docker container is in a different ip range than your tv. That’s why it assumes it’s not in the same network (which it isn’t)

Sure, but they have a setting to fix this by letting Plex know that 192.168.0.x range is local network (as if it needed it) except it’s behind a paywall.
