I’m going to be my PMS from Win10 to Ubuntu (if theres a more preferred distro please let know know) then creating raid 1 on 2x 250gb SSD’s. This will be the same machine with the same components with the difference of 2 new SSD’s and different OS.
From what I understand from searching the forum, I’ll need to create PMS on Ubuntu, then copy the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plex Media Server and also need to migrate and match the sever ID’s to the new PMS in Ubuntu.
Is this correct, am I missing anything? Is it the Preferences.xml I need to edit for the server ID on my target machine?
To confirm, as this is my main concern, editing the server ID to match the Win10 PMS will allow my users to not be affected?
I am wanting to basically the same thing. I currently have PMS on a z820 workstation running dual zeon 8core processors and 32 gigs of ram. All the data (movies, music, tvshows) are on an Asustor 5304T containing 4 8TB Seagate enterprise drives raided at level 5. I could recreate the users as there are not that man, but I would prefer not to have to do this.It seems to run fine on Windows 10, but honestly I am fed up with updates from Microshaft. I would like to move it to Linux Mint xfce, unless there is a better recommended OS.I tried to include info about the hardware its currently installed on. I purchased the NAS to run Plex on directly, but I have had nothing but problems running it on the NAS so I have decided to use the Z820.Emby runs fine on the NAS and I am leaning towards switching to Jellyfin or Emby. I have been a Plex Pass member for quite a long time. I subscribed to Arcade but It said the cost would be 2.99 dollars a month but when i signed up it charged me $4.99.On top of that I have not had much luck setting it up. Iam interested in hosting some games for my kids and a few friends. The z820 should have plenty of power but I have some question.
Does each person that wants to play a game have to pay per month? Can I host old Atari games like river raid and donkey kong? I know this is two subjects in one forum. Sorry for that
