PLEX ON UNRAID SETUP PASSWORD

This is the same password you created when you installed the OS. When you run the sudo command, it will usually prompt you for a password. I would recommend pasting the command in which will break down what every part of the command does.

If you donвЂ™t fully understand what the command does, do some research before you hit that Enter key. So, like any guide you read on the Internet, please be cautious before running any command on your system. Since the root user has no security restrictions, if you run the wrong command as root, you could potentially damage your Ubuntu installation. The sudo command lets you run things as the privileged вЂњrootвЂќ user, without having to log in as root. Before you enter your password, a quick security disclaimer. When you run this command, it will prompt you for a password. In your terminal window, enter the following command all on a single line.

If you installed Ubuntu desktop, there is a built-in terminal emulator.ДЇirst you will want to download and install any updates that have been released since the installation image was created. I would recommend grabbing Putty even if you donвЂ™t use it now, since it will come in handy for future maintenance on the system. If you installed Ubuntu server, you can either run the commands directly on the machine, or you can use a remote terminal emulator program such as Putty. Most of the remaining steps in this guide are completed in a terminal window. If you choose Ubuntu desktop, IвЂ™d recommend the minimal install to avoid wasting space on games and other programs that you wonвЂ™t use. If you opted for Ubuntu server, you will need to enable the OpenSSH server when you get to that step, but you wonвЂ™t need any of the other optional software.

You can stick with the defaults on nearly all of the steps.

Make a bootable install disk using Rufus on a Windows machine, using an empty flash drive 8GB or larger.Д«oot to the USB drive on your new server and go through the installation process. My reasoning is once Plex is installed you shouldnвЂ™t really need to interact with the system locally outside of an occaisonal update, so why waste resources running a GUI thatвЂ™s not going to be used? But I will leave that decision up to you and provide links to both installation images. I differ from JDM here, I prefer to use Ubuntu server, where he recommends Ubuntu desktop. You canвЂ™t have it running when you transfer the data to the new system. Close the container settings without changing anything, then stop the Plex container.

HereвЂ™s a screenshot of my paths for reference: Make a note of the host and container paths for your media folder(s) and appdata folder.

Go to the Docker tab and edit your Plex container settings.

Repeat this step for every media folder you want to share with linux.Under NFS Security Settings change Export to Yes and Security to Private.

Go to Shares and select the share you want to export to linux. As you read through these instructions, please read the commands carefully and make sure your syntax is correct before running each command. I just updated the formatting slightly, threw in a few screenshots and added my updates where necessary. I borrowed most of this guide from JDMвЂ™s guide, because 95% of what youвЂ™re doing is going to be identical. But if youвЂ™re not afraid of the terminal or you need to keep your custom posters, this guide is for you. If you have a library with no custom posters, collections, or manually matched media, or if youвЂ™re uncomfortable with a Linux terminal window, youвЂ™re honestly better off just following JDMвЂ™s original guide and letting Plex rebuild your library. You get to the point in the guide where it tells you to create new libraries, and you ask yourself, вЂњCanвЂ™t I just copy my libraries from the old server?вЂќ Good news! Yes, you can copy your libraries and metadata from one server to another. So youвЂ™ve read JDMвЂ™s QuickSync guide and youвЂ™ve decided to switch from your previous вЂњOne Server To Rule Them AllвЂќ approach to a separate NAS and dedicated QuickSync system.
