Cant access server?

[darrend69 3]

Hi all, I signed up for premiere yesterday and everything was running, I was using the server around 1 hour ago and all was working, but I've just gone to use the Android app, and it wouldnt connect, I checked the server logs, but I cant see anything obvious, I've tried restarting the server without any joy. 
The server is running on Unraid inside Docker.

PS  —  I have the server logs here, but I'm not sure if any information in them shouldn't be posted on the open forum.
Thanks Darren

I've managed to get into the server, I had to change the below ports from the system.xml 

  <PublicPort>8096</PublicPort>
  <HttpServerPortNumber>8096</HttpServerPortNumber>

I had changed the server to run on 8095 instead of 8096; it looks like when I changed it in the UI, it didn't like it. The server is run on docker using 8095 and I access on 8095, so I expected I would have to change 8096 in the server UI to match?

If you're using docker, there's the port emby binds to in the container: that's what's in embys ui/system.xml

And then there's the port on the host that docker has been configured to forward to embys container. (this is in your docker run command '--publish 8096:8096' or in your compose file: 'ports: -8096:8096'. First half is the host port, second half is the container port)

You likely didn't change the docker setup, so <hostip>:8095 wasn't forwarded to the container. Though emby was listening to 8095 inside the container.

I think I have found the issue. When I change the port to 8095 inside the Docker container config, it doesn't change the port on the custom Docker network, so Emby is still listening in 8096.

Kinda curious; what interface/container management tool is that?

 

Looking out for options. Reasonably new to docker myself; I've been managing things via command line/compose files.

Hi mate, I’m using Unraid. It makes docker management really easy

I tried a few other options first like portainer and proxmox but preferred unraid.

Has this resolved your issue?

[darrend69 3]

Hi, the issue isnt resolved but its not an emby issue, the docker image I'm using doesn't allow me to change the container path. I will try another docker image. Can I back up my emby server and restore it again easily?
