I have been using PlexMediaServer to run a small music server on a Raspberry Pi 3B for around a year. A month ago I moved the Application Support folder to the external 1TB HDD as the SD card was full. The server continued to work after this for a while. A week or so ago it stopped working altogether. When I run
sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver
it returns the following:
● plexmediaserver.service - Plex Media Server

Can anyone advise what may be wrong?
Thank you!
