Server Version#: 1.16.1.1291
Player Version#:3.95.2
I am Plex Pass user of many years.
My goal
Server 1:
this server has been operative for many years on network 1 - remote access for a few friends was operative
this server is located at my work studio - is on network 1 - remote access is to be permitted for registered users
Server 2 (this one os new)
new clone of server 1 but located at home . . . different network . . . network 2
Server 2 is to be only local network on local network 2 - no remote access from server 2
I have successfully migrated my existing Plex Server install to the server 2 computer – this is a Mac Mini. I have expected to have to link this server to my account but it linked itself. Any changes I made to disable remote access on Server 2 seem to also disable Server 1.
I re-enable remote access on Server 1 and it works for about 3 seconds – and then loses remote capability. I suspect that I have not done the migration correctly. To migrate, I compressed the Plex Media Library (this is 4000+ movie library from my DVD collection) in application support directory (it is 175G) and placed this in the new computer’s Application Support directory with a cloned drive of the library; I also brought over the preferences to the new install. This may have been a mistake.
How do I:
have 2 servers on 2 different (non-co-loctaed) networks –
server 1 = local and remote access (on network 1 at location 1).
server 2 = local access only (only network 2 at location 2)
I am sure I created a problem for myself with some button push or in the migration.
I see other related topics but they do not say how – basically, my account does not show the 2 servers.
When copying all the server data, this will include the identifier of that server.
That’s pretty much the same as when migrating 1 server to a new machine…
To ensure, things don’t get mixed up:
shutdown / stop the original server, before starting the new server
After starting the new server, assign a new server name
After that you should be able to run both servers in parallel without their settings interfering with each other (e.g. allowing remote access from #1 while disabling it from #2).
Assuming the OP gets this all set up and working - when using the UNO app in this situation some pain and suffering may be included (with the batteries).
When you get both of these servers running in the same interface and one of them is unavailable, for one of a million reasons, the warning icons that will pollute the interface are, very likely, going to be annoying (unless one just doesn’t care about “Service Engine” warnings and the like).
