Permissions issue with Plex on a Rasberry Pi

Plex Media Server
3

If I may suggest?

  1. Hammering it into submission is overkill, ugly, and not necessary.
  2. Plex’s configuration on Linux can be customized per your liking.
  1. I suggest looking at setting
    a. PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR to store the metadata where you want it.
    b. User= to change the username
    c. Group= to change the group

You can set a configuration which uses the same username / group name used by other applications and services on your system.
