Server Version#:Current download
I installed the current version and copied all my music in the default Ubuntu Music folder but can not find it in Plex media server
The Plex Media Server is running as a separate (system) user account… on Linux that’s by default plex (in group plex). That user must have permission to see/access the files you’re trying to add to your library.
IIRC permissions inside your own user’s home directory can be tricky. That’s one of the reasons why I’ve opted to store my media on a separate folder in the „main“ file system (e.g. /plexmedia/music); that also made my life a bit easier when I started adding/mounting media from my network share.
ChuckPa‘s Linux tips are usually a good starting point to address such issues.
