I’m trying to install Plex Media Server on my Ubuntu Server 20.04.3, but without success. I’ve followed this guide to override the location of the default plex metadata folder:
Now I have a folder called “/etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d” and in it I have a file called override.conf with the following content:
#Customize Plex’s config
#Identify this as a service override
[Service]#Move the data directory
Environment=“PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/home/ubuntu/.config/plex/Library/Application Support”#These values are only needed if you wish to change user & group
User=ubuntu
Group=ubuntu#This is needed to change the default umask
UMask=0002 # this must be octal - See warning below
When I launch the following command:
sudo apt install plexmediaserver
I get the following:
