[Docker in Portainer]I finally figured out how to make this excellent script work by using docker

[TucoBruto]

You have to create a new container with interactive&TTY selected like this

and then mount a host dir for config files like this:

then,deploy the container and get into the console page:

follow the Taxel's setup guide to connect to your plex account,server,trakt
configure config.yml if you need.

For automatic sync, just use this stack

services:
  scheduler:
    image: mcuadros/ofelia:latest
    container_name: scheduler
    depends_on:
      - plextraktsync
    command: daemon --docker
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    labels:
      ofelia.job-run.plextraktsync.schedule: "@every 2h"
      ofelia.job-run.plextraktsync.container: "plextraktsync"

If watch mode enabled,the script won't sync watching status between plex and sync.
SO,I just simply dupilcate the container that we created above,name it as plextraktsyncwatch.
and override the command option with 'watch' like this:

then deploy it.

bang! everything works fine now!

NOW,we have 3 containers working together,one for Syncing,one for Scrobbling,and one for Automatic routine.

hope this would help those who want to use docker but dont know how.

Here is my configuration after discovering this discussion. Thanks for the help it gave me :)

services:
  scheduler:
    image: mcuadros/ofelia:latest
    container_name: scheduler
    restart: "unless-stopped"
    depends_on:
      - plextraktsync
    command: daemon --docker
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    labels:
      ofelia.job-run.plextraktsync.schedule: "@every 2h"
      ofelia.job-run.plextraktsync.container: "plextraktsync"
  plextraktsync:
    image: ghcr.io/taxel/plextraktsync:latest
    container_name: plextraktsync
    restart: "unless-stopped"
    privileged: true
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    volumes:
      - /home/plextraktsync/plextraktsync/config:/app/config
  plextraktsyncwatch:
    image: ghcr.io/taxel/plextraktsync:latest
    container_name: plextraktsyncwatch
    restart: "unless-stopped"
    privileged: true
    stdin_open: true
    tty: true
    # command: watch
    volumes:
      - /home/plextraktsync/plextraktsyncwatch/config:/app/config

"watch" and "sync" can share the config dir, no need to duplicate. also for "plextraktsyncwatch" you have commented out "command: watch", so it really does "sync" as well. and "privileged: true" is not needed, probably "stdin_open" and "tty" can be dropped as well.

[hrenaud]

I have separated the configurations to have separate logs, maybe this is not necessary.

The command watch is commented because at installation, as nothing is configured, it makes the container crash. It's more like a reminder to do it later, after the configuration.

Interactive and TTY are set automatically because to configure plextraktsync you have to activate them.

My NAS asks to have privileged set to true, I don't know why 🤷‍♂️

[leni8ec]

My steps:

1. Create stack in Portainer (by manual) → Deploy
2. Open plextraktsync container (in this stack) settings → enable “Interactive & TTY” (no need to disable it anymore) → Deploy
3. Run and attach console (/bin/ash)
4. Run command in console plextraktsync sync (or plextraktsync login) - and follow instructions to get credentials
5. Stop the container (if it was not stopped automatically after synchronization), the next time it will be automatically started by the scheduler

Profit!

Enabling Interactive & TTY

My Stack example

version: '2'
services:
  plextraktsync:
    image: ghcr.io/taxel/plextraktsync
    command: sync
    container_name: plextraktsync
    restart: on-failure:2
    volumes:
      - /home/user/docker/plextraktsync/config:/app/config
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=1000
      - TZ=Europe/Moscow
  # Shedule task
  scheduler:
    image: mcuadros/ofelia:latest
    container_name: plextraktsync-scheduler
    restart: unless-stopped
    depends_on:
      - plextraktsync
    command: daemon --docker
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Moscow
    labels:
      ofelia.job-run.plextraktsync.schedule: "@every 6h"
      ofelia.job-run.plextraktsync.container: "plextraktsync"

I get stuck on step 3. I must be missing something, when I try to connect, it stays on 'Connecting....' and never successfully completes for me to be able to proceed to step 4. Any ideas?

Make sure you select /bin/ash from the container console.

You have to create a new container with interactive&TTY selected like this

and then mount a host dir for config files like this: then,deploy the container and get into the console page:

follow the Taxel's setup guide to connect to your plex account,server,trakt
configure config.yml if you need.

For automatic sync, just use this stack

services:
  scheduler:
    image: mcuadros/ofelia:latest
    container_name: scheduler
    depends_on:
      - plextraktsync
    command: daemon --docker
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    labels:
      ofelia.job-run.plextraktsync.schedule: "@every 2h"
      ofelia.job-run.plextraktsync.container: "plextraktsync"

If watch mode enabled,the script won't sync watching status between plex and sync.
SO,I just simply dupilcate the container that we created above,name it as plextraktsyncwatch.
and override the command option with 'watch' like this:

NOW,we have 3 containers working together,one for Syncing,one for Scrobbling,and one for Automatic routine.

hope this would help those who want to use docker but dont know how.

I followed this method but instead of 3 containers I have 2. One for sync and one for watch. Sync incorporates the scheduler to run every 30 minutes.

However now I'm getting to two scroobles for everything I watch.

Any idea why?

[markbharris]

Is there a way to do this via CE edition of portainer?

[greg4168]

Attempting to setup watch today to scrobble as I watch stuff. Following the info above but my watch container fails with this in the log:

ERROR    HTTPConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=32400): Max retries exceeded 
         with url: / (Caused by                                                 
         NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at       
         0x7f6fb7d56f90>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111]     
         Connection refused'))    

Sync works as I get updates in Trakt within 2 hours.

Also, I only want to scrobble my Guest user, since that's what I use to watch. Any way to do that?

Thanks in advance. Here's my stack:
