Original stackfile

The compose file this template deploys, straight from its repo:

version: '3.4'
services:
  scheduler:
    image: mcuadros/ofelia:latest
    container_name: scheduler
    depends_on:
      - plextraktsync
    command: daemon --docker
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro
    labels:
      ofelia.job-run.plextraktsync.schedule: "@every 6h"
      ofelia.job-run.plextraktsync.container: "plextraktsync"
  plextraktsync:
    image: ghcr.io/taxel/plextraktsync:latest
    container_name: plextraktsync
    command: sync
    volumes:
      - /opt/mediadepot/apps/plextraktsync:/app/config

Or deploy it directly from the source:

git clone https://github.com/mediadepot/templates
cd templates
docker compose -f stacks/plextraktsync/docker-compose.yml up -d

Container Documentation

scheduler Documentation

Ofelia is a modern and low footprint job scheduler for docker environments, built on Go.

Check the logs first

Nine times out of ten the logs tell you exactly what went wrong.

  • In Portainer, go to Containers, click the container, then Logs. Or run docker logs <container>
  • Exit codes help too: 137 means killed, usually out of memory. 126 or 127 means the command inside the image is broken.

Permission denied on volumes

If the logs show "permission denied", the app can't write to its data folder on the host.

  • Fix the ownership: sudo chown -R 1000:1000 /opt/mediadepot/apps/plextraktsync

Can't reach the Docker socket

plextraktsync talks to Docker through /var/run/docker.sock. If the logs show "permission denied while trying to connect to the Docker daemon socket", the app's user can't access it.

  • Check the socket exists on the host: ls -l /var/run/docker.sock
  • Run the container as root, or add the docker group's id to the container with group_add.

Image won't pull

Test the pull directly on the host: docker pull mcuadros/ofelia:latest

  • "manifest unknown" means the tag no longer exists. This template uses latest, so try pinning a specific version instead.
  • "toomanyrequests" is the Docker Hub rate limit. Log in with docker login to raise it.
  • "no space left on device" means a full disk. Reclaim space with docker system prune

"exec format error"

This means the image was built for a different CPU architecture than your server.

  • Check yours with uname -m: x86_64 is amd64, aarch64 is arm64. Raspberry Pi and other ARM boards are the usual culprits.

Stack won't deploy

Compose stacks fail fast on small mistakes, and Portainer shows the reason just above the editor.

  • YAML only accepts spaces for indentation, a single tab breaks the whole file.

Raise an issue

Found something which isn't working as it should? Here's how to report it.

A Compose stack

PlexTraktSync is a Compose stack, a set of containers (2 of them) defined in one file and brought up together by Portainer, then started and stopped as a single app.

The services

This stack is built from 2 containers that run side by side. Here's each one, with the image it runs and anything it waits for first:

  • scheduler runs mcuadros/ofelia:latest, starts after plextraktsync
  • plextraktsync runs ghcr.io/taxel/plextraktsync:latest

Volumes

A volume is where PlexTraktSync keeps its files so they survive an update or a restart. Without one, anything it saves would sit inside the container and vanish the moment it's recreated. This template mounts:

  • /var/run/docker.sock from /var/run/docker.sock on the host (a socket it talks to, not storage)
  • /app/config from /opt/mediadepot/apps/plextraktsync on the host

Networking

Portainer puts these services on one shared private network, so they can find each other by name (like scheduler) while only the ports above are open to you.

Portainer app templates

Zooming out, this whole page comes from a Portainer app template: a short recipe telling Portainer how to set PlexTraktSync up. Add the template list to Portainer once, then deploying PlexTraktSync is a click rather than a wall of config.
