Copy Database from Ubuntu Linux docker to Ubuntu Linux snap

Plex Media Server
1

Hello,

i wood like to move my Plex Server from an Ubuntu VPS to an lokal Ubuntu machine…

having some problems to set up the permisons after copy.

What i do:

Stop PMS
terminal command: tar vcfz “/home/hd3/massaguana/PlexBackup.tar.gz” “./Plex Media Server”
copy this file to new server
terminal command: tar vxzf /path/to/saved/PlexBackup.tar.gz
terminal command: chown -R plex:plex “./Plex Media Server”

The last step with chown don´t work, no user plex found…

What can i do?

@Massaguana

Go into the /var/snap.

With Plex installed and stopped, look at which username owns Plex.
That’s the username you want to use.

okay… thank you… it is “root:root”

but PMS don´t start with this copied database… many error messages with permissions etc.

i think i start with an new database…

With snap you are giving up Hardware transcoding.
