My 1.9.1 package includes systemd support and the main group (plex instead of nogroup) is fixed. Thus, my package is again in line with the official amd64 package and the official Plex documentation applies again. My package also includes the migration script that moves the settings in /etc/default/plexmediaserver
to /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d/override.conf
on systemd systems. Many Plex Pass users helped me to get this package to a stable state, so I hope you will not encounter huge problems (thanks again to you folks!!). If you experience problems, please first read the systemd guide written by @ChuckPA and check your configuration.
VERY IMPORTANT: The upgrade might take some time (I am talking about 10-20 minutes), depending on the performance of your storage device that hosts /var/lib/plexmediaserver
and also depending on the size of your library. NOTHING IS DELETED, only the group is changed to plex. Please be patient.
I am currently performing last tests, the package will go live in 15 minutes.
