Plex resets group in systemd after updates

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops
1

Server Version#: 1.15.1.707
Player Version#:

The last few updates of PMS on my linux box seem to overwrite plexmediaserver.service in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants .

As a result, my chosen user & group for plex get overwritten each time. Am I setting this in the wrong place, or should I be doing something different?

Thanks

For clarification on how systemd works:

  1. /lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service is the as-distributed master service file
  2. Systemd creates a symbolic link to it, located in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants when it is enabled for automatic startup
  3. Systemd overrides / customizations to how Plex operates should be placed in /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d/override.conf per systemd specifications.

This How-To shows examples. (Systemd part)
