I highly doubt I've invented something new, but I did independently invent it, so I have that going for me, which is nice. Plus I'm stitching together lots of great open source pieces which we all have going for us.
Anyhow, this is kind of difficult to explain. And complicated… with lots of moving parts… but is super useful once you get it to work.
As high level as possible, when I do a git push, another machine
reloads new configuration files. And notifies me. All within a second.
I was trying to get Plex to run in a container on CoreOS and for the life of me I couldn't get it to start. I kept getting the following error:
Error: Unable to set up server: bind: Cannot assign requested address (N5boost16exception_detail10clone_implINS0_19error_info_injectorINS_6system12system_errorEEEEE)
It turns out that at some point I had enabled IPv6 and that caused the problem.
So edit your Preferences.xml and disable IPv6 via EnableIPv6="0"
Here's my plex.service for completeness.
