Hi all, long time Plex user, first time poster but I need some help with the best way to approach this.
Currently, I have Plex installed in a docker container that runs on my NAS box. The config directory, as well as my media directories are accessed as local folders on that NAS so when I built the docker, my paths were just e.g. /mnt2/config etc
I am in the process of moving away from that NAS and will be building a new system, and I want to move my Plex install to my much more powerful VM machine, by creating a Ubuntu headless VM with the required specs and installing PMS on it.
Firstly, is there a good guide for the install of Plex itself (should I even use Ubuntu?)
Secondly, what’s the best way to migrate my current server install to the new machine? I guess I would need the /config directory locally? What should I do to migrate this over?
With regards to the media shares, I guess just accessing them as SMB shares from Linux would be fine, but is there a place where I can update the path to the libraries without having to remove and re-add them?
I’m not new to linux but I’m not a linux expert either, so talk to me like I’m a child!
thanks, appreciate the help
