Help! Getting Errors After Editing My Docker Compose File

Asked By TechGuru99 On

Hey everyone, I'm new to Docker but have a decent tech background. I've configured my initial Docker Compose file for a Plex setup, and it works fine. However, I keep running into errors whenever I make even the smallest change to the file. For example, I'm trying to add an environment variable (`PLEX_CLAIM=claimXXXXXX`) and even removing optional lines like the `devices` section causes issues. My main goal is to set up hardware transcoding using my GPU. I've validated my YAML with online tools, and they say everything's fine, yet I still hit errors when running `docker-compose up plex`. Here's the error message I get: `ERROR: for plex 'ContainerConfig'` followed by a traceback. I've tried copy-pasting, typing it all out again, and using dos2unix editors to eliminate hidden characters, but nothing seems to work. Really hoping someone can help me figure this out! Thanks in advance!

You might want to check if you've got `services:` included at the very beginning of your YAML file. Also, the devices paths shouldn't have quotes around them. That could be causing part of the issue.

Have you considered changing the `container_name`? Sometimes just renaming it (like `Plexx` or `Plex2`) can help resolve conflicts.

Hey, it looks like the indentation in your YAML might be off. Consistent tabbing is crucial in YAML files. When you paste into places like Reddit, it can mess with that formatting. I had a similar problem when I was learning Docker Compose. Try checking that the spaces are consistent throughout your file. A YAML checker might help you spot any issues with the formatting.
