That looks like your success message. You got the JSON response and a "true". Check to see if the stack has been created.
yep:
I went to http://192.168.1.154:8020/ and see ePlusTV
I enabled Gotham and put in my login credentials. I then got an email from Gotham telling me that there was a login from an onn.4k Streaming box (I don't own one). Is that expected?
Thanks. I have made a few changes over the past several weeks. I didn't use the app store when installing UBUNTU for Docker desktop. Do you suggest I start over if I plan to use Channels through UBUNTU, rather than the Windows Channels version? I am using UBUNTU latest, but I think I used GIT to install it if Docker Desktop didn't do it automatically.
That's probably what's being emulated by the container. You should head on over to the EPlusTV thread for more details...
It probably is the Same thing but I do not know for sure.
@bnhf Can I run 2 Olivetin instances in Docker Desktop ?
If you're spinning them up through Project One-Click, then it should work. @chDVRuser and I spent some time making sure that would work, on Synology and Debian at least. 
Misread this, I somehow thought you were asking about two CDVR instances. Since OliveTin already supports multiple DVRs, multiple instances of OliveTin have not been tested.
You must be thinking about multiple Channels DVR Server containers.
I never ran more than one instance of OT4C on a server and can't see why someone would.
In fact, I don't think you have a Project One-Click for OliveTin for Channels.
Right you are -- lazy reading on my part.
For some reason ChannelsDVR won't start. I even tried restarting the PC (and then restarting docker, portainer) but even when I click to start ChannelsDVR it won't start.
any idea?
The Docker version of CDVR -- installed via Project One-Click?
I don't recall . Probably not. How do I redo it?
You should search for any relevant topics on this subject, and if you don't find one, create a new topic. That'll bring in some folks with more troubleshooting experience on something like this...
I just clicked "Create a Channels DVR Stack in Portainer" in the Olivetin one-click and it created the container and now Channels DVR opened. It asked me to setup from scratch.
Is there anything that I need to know when filling in the info for the custom channels
EDIT - In E+TV I selected linear channels, and then copied the URL that it gave into Channels DVR Source field - and it works!!!! Thanks SO much. Very excited.
New bnhf/olivetin:latest (aka bnhf/olivetin:2025.03.27) pushed, that should address the issue with the Plex-for-Channels Project One-Click Action throwing errors on setting up one or both CDVR Custom Sources for Plex.
I was previously only waiting for the M3U to become available before considering the container online, now I'm waiting for the XML specified in the Project One-Click configuration, to come up before adding the Custom Sources.
Also, big news on Project EZ-Start progress. OliveTin EZ-Start can now be spun-up from the command line, with Portainer and the full version of OliveTin available via Project One-Click.
More details here:
I'm doing this with the new OliveTin EZ-Start: The Next Generation project. So yes, it can be done, and there's even a Project One-Click Action to do it.

@bnhf I see that you have been very productive. I'm a little slow. So, I'll start by giving the Plex-for-Channels Project One-Click Action a try.
The One-Click Plex-for-Channels action completed with two sources.
Initially, guide data was incomplete.
After refreshing once, it looks ok.
What did you use for your HOST_DIR value?
/Users/xxx/data , which I use on other working containers. The container added files there too, so appears to work.
Thanks for the tip on restart unless stopped on the other thread, but this is where it gets weird :
When i comment that out, and start the container - it stays up fine. I'll leave as-is for troubleshooting now, but it looks like something after deployment is causing it to restart, but i can't pinpoint it without 1-click composing the stack with that commented out, right?
Scratch that - it failed after 5 mins (vs instantaneouly when flag was active) - i'll take this back to the mlb thread.
