Using this how-to from “Linux Tips”

we’re going to: ( I’ll write this out as copy/paste possible as I can for you )

  1. Stop PMS
  2. open bash terminal window and work from root:
$  sudo bash
# mkdir /mp1/share/plexmediaserver
# chown plex:plex /mp1/share/plexmediaserver
# cd "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support"
# tar cf - . | (cd /mp1/share/plexmediaserver ; tar xf -)
# mkdir /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d
# cat > /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d/override.conf <<EOF
[Service]

Environment="PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/mp1/share/plexmediaserver"

EOF
# cat /etc/systemd/system/plexmediaserver.service.d/override.conf
#
#  NOTE:  Confirm the contents of override.conf matches how shown in the Linux Tips
#

I’m stopping here so you can ask anything about what we’re doing.

  1. Stop Plex
  2. Use tar to copy the existing PMS installation (mirror copy) to /mp1/share/plexmediaserver/Plex Media Server
  3. Create an ‘override.conf’ file to tell systemd the new environment variable for Plex.
    This variable tells PMS where the metadata (Plex Media Server) directory is.

So far so good ?

To share what’s coming next, we’re going to add another environment variable
for you in the ‘override.conf’ file to expressly NOT use /tmp or /var.
