Newbie with Docker. Issues getting Plex MS to run

Docker Desktop
1

Good morning,
I’m a long time Linux user, but I’ve never stepped into the Docker world until now. I’m retiring an old Fedeora tower server that I’ve been using as a home server and NAS for the past 10 years or so. I’ve moved my NAS onto a dedicated NAS, and I’m attempting to migrate any other apps I hosted on that server to a Mini PC running Fedora Desktop. I’ve installed Docker Desktop, and I’m trying to get Plex Media Server to run in a docker container.

I’ve set up my CIFS shares in my media folder from my NAS, and I’ve set up my Host networking config using the github repository documentation.

docker run \

-d \
--name plex \
--network=host \
-e TZ="America/New_York" \
-e PLEX_CLAIM="***********************" \
-v /plexconfig:/config \
-v /media/:/media \
plexinc/pms-docker

My problem now is that I’m getting a connection refused when I try and navigate to http://ip:32400/web

What I don’t see in the host config is a way to enable the port.

I’m sure this is something simple, but I’m just missing it.

I tired again with a different distro (linuxserver/plex) with a docker compose file. This way its working the way it should.
