Hi
So, I am quite new to docker and have tried to install a few containers on a newly created physical server running Arch Linux with the LTS kernel (4.9.27).
Fx. the official plex container image does not work. If I set --net=host, then it does not connect with my account and I can also not find it anywhere on the network. If I set it to --net=bridge, then I can access Plex using the defined ports on my host machine.
So far that I have understood --net=host makes it so that my container is getting an IP-address on the local network, so that I do not have to open a lot of ports on the host machine.
This is the output of docker info with the plex container running:

I have removed anything apart from the loopback interface, the primary interface and the docker0 interface.
Can someone tell me what I am missing in order to get the containers running with --net=host?
