I have been running Plex for years on my Raspberry Pi (Debian).

My question is this: where does Plex store the certificate file and key used when a client connects over HTTPS? I know it is possible to upload a custom certificate, but I just want to use the built-in certificates managed by Plex, and know where those are located so I can snag a copy.

If it’s located on the file system, that would be great! If it’s located in a database, any help in how to export the key/certificate would be awesome! I know they have to be somewhere, I just can’t find them. Help!
