Plex plugin not installing

[jweldon]

I have tried this multiple times and ways.

I have a Truenas Core instance running. Network config is solid NO problems. When I try to install the plex plugin I get this error "Error: plex had a failure Exception: RuntimeError Message: + Acquiring DHCP address: FAILED, address received: 0.0.0.0/8 Stopped plex due to DHCP failure Partial plugin destroyed"

I have looked in the forums and people have said its because of my global config, but that is fine. I have a gateway and DNS. Static IP is assigned. There shouldn't be any issue there.

I tried installing the plug via the NAT option and it did install, however the Admin portal was not accessible.

Can someone please offer me some guidance?

Certainly. Ditch the plug-in and use this.

Scripted Plex installation

You will be better off as plugins are deprecated.

Is this the only suggestion out there? I can't believe I am the only one with this issue.

You could try SCALE. It has plex as an app.

You aren't, and the others have gotten the same answer.

iXsystems, when are you going to stop pretending that CORE has (usable) plugins?

Plugins are broken. We all know it, and you have no intention of fixing them. Most notably, @Kris Moore has said not to use them, and that they're "more or less deprecated": using plugins on CORE is a path to sadness. The plugin system is more or less deprecated and as you can tell, somewhat...

Well I am trying to use your method Dan. Just some things I don't know what I should do. couple of steps left out. Is there a youtube video or something of that script being used?

I haven't seen any need to make a video of https://github.com/danb35/freenas-iocage-plex; nano plex-config; ./plex-jail.sh. But if you're having trouble with something and you can't find the answer in the discussion thread for that script, feel free to ask there.
