Hey there, did you ever resolve this?
I’ve run into the same issue, except with Deluge not Plex.
I also know what the problem is because I’ve run into it before when I was migrating my apps to a different pool, but I don’t know how to solve it.
Basically, when I first installed Deluge it had an option to choose the Downloads directory. I didn’t change it at the time and it defaulted to an ixVolume, which was fine because I mounted a separate media directory as well which I was using to download directly into my media library.
Somewhere down the line I wanted to use the default /downloads directory for some things but didn’t want the downloaded data somewhere hidden in the ix-applications dataset. So I went to change the option, but it turns out that setting is immutable once set:

I’m not sure why that was done, but either way I was able to just add a Host Path mount that mounted to /downloads and that worked for over a year.
Fast forward to me migrating my apps pool when I ran into a similar issue already, it wouldn’t start the container because of the duplicate mount path.
Solution:
- Edit application to remove the Host Path mount
- Start Deluge once, then stop it again
- Edit application to add back the Host Path mount
It seems that on first creating the container it checks for the duplicate paths, but on further starts it allows an override? Maybe that was a bug that worked in my favor? IDK how or why that worked, but it did.
Either way, I suspect the solution is the exact same here, but I don’t know how to go about it.
Can I just boot back into Dragonfish, edit Deluge to remove the Host Path, boot back into Electric Eel and to the migration again? Then change or add the Host Path back?
