I don’t seem to be able to run the linuxserver Plex docker container correctly. The docker compose file is simple and copied below. The user PUID and group PGID are obtained from /etc/passwd entries or “id -u”. The user with PUID and PGID has full permission to /myconfig and /mymovies in the host. I tried various different users, some with admin privileges.

The container runs, but in the PLEX account I don’t see any option to find local media. There is a bunch of annoying TV and movie and streaming advertisements/promotions.

What am I doing wrong?
