I’m running my server on headless debian, hence no browser to browse for poster files when adding them manually.

Is there a way I can add posters to my drive and let plex use that as collection poster, and have it organized in a way that I would know where the poster is located in case I want to replace it later?

Wasn’t sure, but a search found this post by a Plex employee from a few months ago:

> Collection posters have to be manually uploaded via app.plex.tv/desktop, there is no place to put them in the directory structure for them to be selected
