I am a Linux noob, but got it working this far. My problem is that I can’t point Plex to my movies on a NAS. I have copied the AFP link and it doesn’t work. I have tried to make a desktop shortcut, but it says that it isn’t allowed. This is the last thing I need to do to get this server going and I’m full stop. Am I missing something simple (probably).
Thank you!

There are two things you need setup on the linux box to get Plex to work. Plex runs as the plex user in the plex group by default. The first thing you need is a perm mount (defined in /etc/fstab) to the NAS. Typical place is under the /mnt directory (e.g. /mnt/my-nas). The second thing you have to do is ensure that plex can see the files and able to write files if you want plex to add content via the DVR to the NAS. You will do this with the chmod and/or the chown commands depending on the state of affairs with files on the NAS. Do some googling and you will find what you need.
