Tunarr version 0.18.17
Tunarr runtime is docker compose on the same host as my plex server itself
Tunarr server logs: attached

I am trying to set up a new Tunarr innstance. It is running in docker, set up using docker compose, on the same linux host as my plex server. I'm successfully able to connect my Plex library, create channels, and watch them in the Tunarr interface, but when I go to add a tuner to Plex, it cannot seem to find my tunarr instance. A few screenshots are attached, let me know if I can provide more info.

if you are running all of these in the same docker compose, then you'd want to use the service's name as the host when connecting, rather than the LAN IP, see: https://docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/networking/

Docker Documentation

Networking

How Docker Compose sets up networking between containers

#

also within the compose context you do not use the host mapped ports

#

also fwiw lumping everything into a single compose might be difficult too, since within that implicit network, the ports must all be unique. many apps just use common ports by default in containers

#

i.e. you might have a problem if you added another app that defaults to 8000 within that single compose

Thanks! Using the service name and port 8000 worked. What you're saying makes sense, I'll look at breaking the system out into multiple compose files. Thanks again for your help!
