Help with Framework Errors

[gignsky]

Hey folks, I’m really struggling here, I have a plex-server installed and running on a proxmox VM with GPU passthrough enabled and working prior to starting this whole charade. The issue arises when I tried to move my metadata folder off the VM’s hard disk onto a smb share that is hosted on another server as it has adequate space to store all the meta data files. I followed this guide: Customizing your Plex configuration.

I got everything moved over and the override.conf working well but now I get the following framework core errors when running systemctl status plexmediaserver and I get a message in the web gui saying “Server Settings are unavailable” when trying to modify any of the server settings. I have googled all around and can’t seem to find where I went wrong. I’m relatively new to both ubuntu and running plex on anything but windows, any help would be greatly appreciated!

When you install Plex on Linux – it’s “Load and Go”.

I do see your override.conf referenced.

May I see the contents of it please ?

Hi @ChuckPa , thanks for the quick response; here is a image showing the output of the below command, with the text output below that.

 cat /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d/override.conf

[Service]
Environment="PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/store/plexFiles/plexMetadata/plexdata/Library/Application Support"

Also, the /store/plexFiles dir is an smb share, below is the relevant /etc/fstab entry is below. Thanks for the help!

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

@gignsky

/store/plexFiles dir is an smb share,

You cannot put Plex’s database on any network share.

There is no file locking to support the database.

While not supported, there is a way to ‘get away’ with it on NFS but SMB protocol does not support it on Linux.

Thanks @ChuckPa I will convert the /store/plexFiles directory to an NFS Share, I appreciate the quick help!
