This site can't be reached - newbee trying to install plex

[PjotrBee]

Hi ALL,
Not the first post on this issue, but I have no solution yet.

I have installed plex in a linux container on my intel nuc using these instructions: https://www.geekbitzone.com/posts/2022/proxmox/plex-lxc/install-plex-in-proxmox-lxc/
All went exactly as described.

When I try to access Plex in the browser ( https://192.168.178.191/web) I get error message:
This site cannot be reached (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED)

In the virtual environment (version 9.0.11) of Proxmox I have created container "101(plex2)" in node "pve" ( Datacenter > pve > 101(plex2) )

In this container I can open the console screen and run the command "ip a" :


From my laptop I can ping to the container (192.168.178.191) .
In the container console screen I can ping to my router (192.168.178.1) .
So the network seems ok.

Proxmox summery shows following: status = running ; ha state = none ; Node = pve ; Unprivileged = No ; ...
In attachments see screenshots of all settings.

Where do I start looking for a solution ?

Hi @PjotrBee , welcome to the forum

I am not familiar with this particular container and what it is expected to expose. That said, there are more steps for you to isolate the issue.
- Are you sure that https is exposed not http ? Have you tried http ?
- Are you sure that the application is running? Inside the container, have you tried "curl -k https://192.168.178.191"
- Are you able to run the above curl command from PVE shell?
- Do you have firewalls enabled that may be blocking the connectivity?

You may also want to re-read the guide you are following and pay particular attention to URL construction and port numbers specified there in the "Logging into Plex" section.

Cheers

All your images appear to show the IP address of 192.168.178.191 for vmbr0. That is likely the IP of the host node - not the LXC.
You need to enter the console of the LXC & from there check it's IP address.
