I am hoping that you awesome people can help me with something I've noticed in my Plex logs. Quick notes on my set up:

Mini PC running Ubuntu 22.04, portainer, Plex, arrs and calibre all running in docker. All of these except Plex are using a bridge network that I created in portainer. The PC is connected to the router by ethernet cable, and I have set up a static IP in the router settings. I have also added the static IP info into the network settings in Ubuntu.

The following text is repeated over and over in the Plex Media Server log, about 6 seconds apart. My playback is mostly fine, but I have been experiencing buffering. Regardless this can't be right!.

n.b. I did post elsewhere but I feel that this is not necessarily Plex related and you can likely help with this more technical question.

DEBUG - NetworkInterface: received Netlink message len=88, type=RTM_DELADDR, flags=0x0 Aug 22, 2024 18:51:49.636 [139016208919352] DEBUG - NetworkInterface: Netlink address message family=2, index=3, flags=0x0 Aug 22, 2024 18:51:49.636 [139016208919352] DEBUG - Network change.

I have a mini PC running Ubuntu. I use docker portainer to house Plex and all of the arrs services.

Due to playback issues which I assumed were due to EAC3 audio (a common issue which others reported), I removed Plex from docker and installed it outside.

To my frustration I am still getting buffer problems, so I downloaded the log file. This appears to be reporting constant network notifications. I have copied an extract below.

I have an ethernet cable plugged into the PC and (when I was using Windows pre Ubuntu) I have reserved the IP address in the router for the MAC address for the ethernet adaptor.

I have no idea where to start in troubleshooting this. Is the WIFI adapter trying to connect? Or is the docker network interfering? I have no experience with this so would be very grateful for some pointers.

I have readarr and all other arrs working in Ubuntu with docker portainer. I followed the trash guides and LinuxServerio guides to get me this far. I want to expand my book library, and so I have added calibre.

After having calibre import my book library, I went to readarr to delete the root, and re-add it with the new path to the calibre library. I am having problems with the Calibre Settings on the Add Root page.

The calibre server is listening at 172.18.0.2, port 8081, HTTP. I have created a user account on the calibre "sharing over the net" page. In readarr, I have set the Calibre Host to 172.18.0.2 and the Calibre Port to 8081. When I click save, I get the error Unknown exception: Http request timed out.

Most of the guides I have found are 3 or 4 years old. On one guide the Calibre Host was set to: calibre. That doesn't work. Setting the Host to the IP of my server doesn't work either.

Can any one help? I don't know if I have a permissions or firewall problem, or if I am just doing something wrong. The calibre logs are not showing any issues. I have copied the .yaml files used below.

I have followed the docs and have the recommended folder structures for my Plex and arrs setup.

sonarr has a volume set as /data which gives it access to e.g. /data/usenet/downloads This is working fine with SABnzdb

I am using a seedbox for torrents. Looking at ruTorrent on the seedbox, I can see that the local download folder there is set to: /home/seedit4me/torrents/rtorrent

sonarr is reporting "No files found are eligible for import in:

• /home/seedit4me/torrents/rtorrent/Completed/tv-sonarr/filename.mkv

I have set a remote path in the download clients page in sonarr as follows:

• Host - ****.seedit4.me
• Remote path: /home/seedit4me
• local path: /data

I have ftp'd the mkv file to actual folder structure:

• /data/torrents/rtorrent/Completed/tv-sonaar/filename.mkv

The permissions on this file are:

• -rw-rw-r--

the folder permissions are:

• drwxrwxr-x 2 myacct myacct 4096 Aug 2 11:41 .
• drwxrwxr-x 3 myacct myacct

My uid=1000(my acct), same for gid I have set these as the PUID and PGID env variables in sonarr

The log file in sonarr is reporting: |Error|DownloadedEpisodesImportService|Import failed, path does not exist or is not accessible by Sonarr: /home/(removed)/torrents/rtorrent/Completed/tv-sonarr/filename.mkv

Seeing this, i tried mapping /home/(removed)/ to /data/ but that doesn't work either.

Can anyone guide me on what I am doing wrong? I feel like I've checked everything so I can't understand the issue at all.---

Edit - marking as solved.

• Remote path: /home/seedit4me
• local path: /data

This is now working, I don't know why it wasn't before. ‐------------

I followed the trash guide and have sonaar and sabnzbd working brilliantly together in portainer.

My plex media folders when I was on win11 were on external disks. After moving to ubuntu I can find them under /media//....

Plex is able to read from them, so it was quick to rebuild the library. My question is, how can I give sonarr access to them? I want to be able to import them and have sonarr able to write to them (when I download episodes).

Is there a clever way to put them into the /data structure that I followed in the trash guide?

Thanks!

I recently moved from win 11 on my mini PC to ubuntu. Following a tutorial, I have plex set up in portainer.

When looking to add the arrs, I came across the wiki which warns against using portainer for sonarr.

I don't know what to do now. Is it possible to run the arrs outside of portainer and still work with plex?

Or does anyone use portainer for arrs and find it's OK?

Just looking for advice on a way forward. Thinking I might start again with docker compose as they suggest.

Thanks!
