Sorry I don't know the addon you mention. Here is some additional information about how to install the linuxserver/plex container on the command line https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/plex vía SSH.

Thanks for the link. I was able to get my local mount successfully added to plex and confirmed that it is retained after a restart.

You set the paths in the addon settings. Keep in mind that the remote paths should already be mounted and you use the local mount point.

I did try it first from the web ui. If I understood it correctly, only folders within the plex container were available to be added as library along with the default host folders for movie, tv and pictures. As I mentioned in my original post, the NAS is already mounted under /storag/NAS, however this was not visible.

I was able to get the mount point added with a new install of plex using the cli commands for the link provided by elonesna.

Thanks for the reply elonesna. I am afraid this is where my n00b part comes in. All I have gathered from my searching is how to start/stop a container and how to inspect it. I have no clue how to install it or what additional params I need to pass while installing it.

As I mentioned earlier I installed it via linuxserver.io addon. Any pointers on how I can do this manually or where in the linuserver addon would these commands be available?

I am a n00b when it comes to linux/docker, so please go easy on me.

I have a Pi4 running LE9.2 and was trying to get a plex server going on it as well. Installing the server as a docker image via linuxserver addon was pretty easy. However when I went on to configure the server I realised that the folder containing my media on a NAS is not listed in the add folder option of Plex. I already have the NAS mounted to LE but have no idea how to get it to be visible to the Plex server running in docker.

With a little bit of googling and manually checking different files on the Pi, I tried modifying the hostconfig.jason in var/lib/docker/container/container-id to add the bind to my folder. I could see existing folder for pictures, video etc. from the host was mounted into the container. I included my folder in the same syntax as them, But when I tried to stop and start the image the whole folder vanished, have no clue what I screwed up.

I could have tried to mount it via cli using the commands but wasn't sure if it would be persistent though.

Any help on how I can mount the folder storage/NAS successfully into the Plex server will be appreciated. Also is there a way I can directly mount the NAS path rather than the mount of the NAS on the host system to the docker?

NAS is currently mounted in LE as : //192.168.1.100/media on /storage/NAS type cifs

should return UP when the OpenVPN tunnel is active otherwise it returns nothing.

Thanks mate, that worked. Is there a way to see the server it is currently connected to, start/stop a connection from command line as well? Or is it pushing it too far?

is there a way to check the VPN status in command line? If yes, could anyone be kind enough to share the command? I am on LE9.2.8 on a Pi4.

what temps are you seeing when it is sitting idle? As suggested if it is in a case, get rid of the top and see if it helps. My Pi4 was idling at 60C when sitting in a case. Got a heatsink and a fan, now it doesn't cross 50C even when it is under load.

I'd suggest fix the temp issue rather than have it turn off when not in use

Yep, that's exactly what I did. I had run iperf previously on my osmc install and just copied it from there.

P.S: Shouldn't this get fixed in the networks addon though? Either remove iperf or have actual iperf as part of it?

Hello folks,

Linux & LibreElec novice here. I got my Pi4 this weekend and installed LibreElec 9.2.8. I was trying to measure the network performance between the Pi and my NAS. My NAS (DLink DNS-323) is pretty dated and I could only find ways to get iperf running on it, couldn't get iperf3 on it. I installed the network addon for Libreelec and saw that iperf is part of the package and was a bit relived. However I was a bit disappointed when I ran it though.

It appears both iperf and iperf3 installed as part of the addon are indeed both iperf3. Is there a way I can install/get iperf on my PI?
