Moving Metadata repository from

Server Version#: 1.19.1.2645
Player Version#:
Good evening,
I installed Plex Server on a Raspberry pi4 with an external USB disk (always connected). Everything works perfectly, only the /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Metadata directory fills up continuously, making the SD card full.
I would like to have metadata written to the USB disk, for example, in /media/pi/Media/Metadata. Where/How can I set this up?

Thank you very much

This forum post describes how to move the Plex data folder to a new location:

Permissions under /media do not work as you’d expect will likely cause issues. I’d recommend against using the auto-mounted location (/media/pi/…) and create a /etc/fstab entry for the USB drive. Make user plex the owner, or at least give it full rwx access.

Thanks a lot, but where I set to point to new directory?

Read the document please. It shows you each step.

Ops … sorry and thanks.

It looks like step 1 (or is it A :slight_smile: ) covers this part.

It’s step Y for me :upside_down_face:
