Plex: no option to manage/add library after install.

[Outsmart2383]

After running the Plex installation script, when accessing the Web UI via http://CONTAINERIP:32400/web I get error: Not authorised. You do not have access to this server.

If accessing via http://CONTAINERIP:32400 (i.e. with /web ommitted) I get taken to a Plex Web UI interface, but there are no options for library management.

Initially I had immediately set the container up behind NPM, and then read that this could cause issues with libary management, but as above, when accessing directly via IP the options for library management still aren't there.

I've tried removing all authorised devices from my Plex account in case that was causing issues, but this has had no effect. I've also tried reinstalling a few times in case there had been an issue arising during deployment.

On deployment I selected to apply advanced options, as I like to configure root passwords, and apply a static IP address and VLAN to my containers, but I was sure to select the correct distribution (Ubuntu 22.04).

Ahhh. so it was in fact the configuration of the VLAN that was causing the issue. I was trying to access the web UI from my PC which is on a different VLAN to my homelab services.
