Server Version#: 1.30.0.6486-629d58034 I am trying to avoid installing on the OS logical volume. I setup a symlink, (i have tried relaitve and non relative) ll /var/lib |grep plex lrwxrwxrwx 1 plex plex 31 Dec 28 16:41 plexmediaserver → …/…/apps/plex/plexmediaserver/ When i try t…

[image] ntbritton: I am trying to avoid installing on the OS logical volume. Remove the override.conf file. Install Plex normally apt install plexmediaserver This will create the plex user and systemd entries. Stop plex systemctl stop plexmediaserver.service Now where did you mount t…

its mounted to /apps/plex/plexmediaserver

Then your variable should be: Environment=“PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR=/apps/plex/plexmediaserver" This cannot be a network drive. How did you create this mount (all the steps). Or you can read the other Linux Tips.

[image] pl_5309: systemctl stop plexmediaserver.service It was created as logical volume from the volume group from the local disks. 19 lvcreate -L 50G -n plex-lv ubuntu-vg 20 pvs 21 lvs 22 mkfs -t ext4 /dev/ubuntu-vg/plex-lv 23 mkdir /apps/plex 24 vi /etc/fstab 25 mount -a

So the process should look like this: Install as normal Stop Plex Create override file with enviornment Move /var/lib/plexmediaserver/* to /apps/plex/plexmediaserver/ Start Plex

If you did the default install then: umount /apps/plex chown -R plex: /apps mount /apps/plex Yes.
