Yesterday from my dietpi nuc, I uninstall docker & docker-compose & then gave the installation command for plex. all these command via dietpi-software. while installing plex after uninstalling of docker & docker-compose. my screen became blue & dietpi showed me failure in installation of plex. then yesterday also new dietpi update version came 8.8.1. i tried to upgrade to new version. system again hault & showing me error related to plex server. then i tried to install vaultwarden system again fail. so overall i think while removing of docker it made some problem in dietpi system. while screen was blue it ask me to upload bug report for dietpi & i have upload it (- Reference code: b3f2ff77-55e8-4754-a90f-b01ffbeb581c ) and cut/paste logs are as in below file.

I am confirm dietpi machine is working & i am able to access it via ssh from remote machine also, that machine able to send me notifications via pushover. so dietpi machine having access to external/internal LAN & internet access.

Issue is with the Plex installation. Could you try to purge the Plex

- apt purge plexmediaserver (works fine)
- dietpi-update (work fine)
- sudo reboot (work fine)
- dietpi-software install 42 (again fail)
so plex installation having some trouble.

ok Plex is having issues to create the plex user group as it’s already existing. Let’s try following
apt purge plexmediaserver
groupdel plex
dietpi-software install 42
Thanks Joulinar, your given commands works & system able to install plex. & everything as per expectation
apt purge plexmediaserver
groupdel plex
dietpi-software install 42
Fix merged, many thanks for reporting. That the Plex package install fails when the plex group exists already is something we should probably report to Plex devs. This would be the case as well if one adds another user to this group (the common use case/reason for system groups to exist) and then remove the package.
