I’m currently setting up a new Ubuntu home server and a new PMS in the process. I opted for installing the new snap store version of PMS over manual, because it seems to work out of the box, with all the permissions I need, which saved me time on the initial setup.
It also automatically runs at system boot, which is great. But it’s not actually registered as a system service. Unfortunately, that means it also can’t be stopped/restarted via the usual commands in Terminal (i.e. “plexmediaserver stop” or “systemctl stop plexmediaserver.service”). And I can’t find any other way of doing it.
This is a problem for me. Not only would I like to know in general how I can temporarily shutdown PMS (for whatever reason) without having to shut down the entire server; it also currently prevents me from porting over viewstates etc. from my old install, because the server(s) need to be offline to update the database.
So, long story short: Does anyone know how to (temporarily) stop and then restart PMS on Ubuntu when installed from snap, specifically?
Server Version#: 1.18.1.1973-0f4abfbcc
OS: Ubuntu 18.04
