> Customizing your Plex configuration on systemd based systems This information is intended for those systems where cat /proc/1/comm returns systemd. On systems which use Systemd (Ubuntu 16+, Fedora, Centos 7, Debian 8,) you create this customization file which SystemD reads prior to launching PMS.

I’d recommend reading through the other steps, but using step E as the means for creating and editing the override.conf file:  
`sudo systemctl edit plexmediaserver` (make sure to stop the service first).
