### Is this a new feature request? - [x] I have searched the existing issues ### Wanted change For the most part this issue has been described by GPT-5.6 Sol. I wouldn't know most of those things nearly enough to propose concise change by myself so sorry for using AI but I believe core idea is valid based on my own scenario. Add a media-mount watchdog integrated with the image’s s6 services. The watchdog could: - Monitor the documented `/movies` and `/tv` paths when they are mounted. - Allow custom paths through an environment variable, for example: ```yaml environment: - PLEX_MEDIA_PATHS=/movies,/tv,/music - Detect persistent storage errors such as: - ESTALE - EIO - inaccessible or disconnected NFS/CIFS mounts - Use an initial grace period and several consecutive failures to avoid reacting to short interruptions. - Report the problem clearly in the container log and Docker health status. - Cleanly terminate the container when its mount namespace cannot recover, allowing the configured Docker restart policy to start it with fresh mounts. - Provide an option to disable the watchdog if required. Refreshing host bind mounts from inside an unprivileged container may not be possible, so exiting cleanly and allowing Docker to restart the container would be an acceptable implementation. Ideally, /movies and /tv would be monitored automatically when they are detected as network-backed mounts, with PLEX_MEDIA_PATHS available for additional or non-standard locations. ### Reason for change The documented `/movies` and `/tv` volumes are commonly backed by NAS storage using NFS or CIFS. When a NAS restarts, these mounts can temporarily become unavailable or return errors such as `ESTALE` (`Stale file handle`). Plex remains running, so Docker restart policies such as `unless-stopped` are never triggered. Even after the host mount recovers, Plex may remain attached to stale bind mounts until the container is manually restarted or recreated. Users currently need external watchdogs, Docker socket sidecars, systemd services, or healthchecks that terminate PID 1. It would be useful for the image to provide a supported recovery mechanism. In my own case whenever NFS restarts I have it automatically re-mount on plex's VM, but even when it does I always have to manually recreate the container for it to get re-mounted directories. ### Proposed code change Not nearly advanced enough to propose anything. Below something GPT-5.6 Sol came up with temporarily for my use case: ``` healthcheck: test: - CMD-SHELL - >- probe() { probe_output=$$(timeout -k 5s 15s stat "$$1/.plex-healthcheck-$$(date +%s%N)-$$$$" 2>&1); probe_status=$$?; [ "$$probe_status" -eq 1 ] && printf '%s\n' "$$probe_output" | grep -q 'No such file or directory'; }; if findmnt -rn -t nfs,nfs4 -T /movies >/dev/null 2>&1 && findmnt -rn -t nfs,nfs4 -T /tv >/dev/null 2>&1 && probe /movies && probe /tv; then rm -f /tmp/plex-media-health-failures; exit 0; fi; failures=0; read -r failures < /tmp/plex-media-health-failures 2>/dev/null || true; case "$$failures" in ''|*[!0-9]*) failures=0;; esac; failures=$$((failures + 1)); printf '%s\n' "$$failures" > /tmp/plex-media-health-failures; if [ "$$failures" -ge 3 ]; then echo "Media mounts failed three consecutive checks; restarting Plex" >&2; rm -f /tmp/plex-media-health-failures; kill -TERM 1; fi; exit 1 interval: 30s timeout: 25s start_period: 90s retries: 3 restart: unless-stopped ```
