Hey all, I’m stumped for the first time since adopting Linux. I can’t get Plex to see any of my folders and I cannot just move my movies to plexmediaserver because I don’t have the permissions.
I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around the permissions commands and I’m not sure what the simplest way to set up my Plex library is. Has anyone been through this process that can help me out?
The simplest way is to run it in Docker. It’s another step to learn, but it’s much easier. I’d recommend the linuxserver.io container via docker-compose: https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-plex/#docker-compose-recommended-click-here-for-more-info
I’d also recommend taking the opportunity to switch to Jellyfin. It’s not quite as polished, but in my experience it’s more stable (only had to reset my library once) and the devs aren’t enshittifying the project.
I’ll have a look at both! Thank you.
