Ubuntu Plex Server

Server Version#: Ubuntu 18.04
Player Version#: Latest

Hey guys, sorry if this has been discussed (I am a n00b to Plex), I am not sure how to search for this if the answer is out there.

Anyway, I just build a new Ubuntu Server on my ESXi host and I am trying to get my synology volume to connect with the Ubuntu Server. How is this done? Do I need to create it as an iSCSI or can a regular volume be shared put into Plex? I am looking through the options in the Plex server settings and don’t really see that pops out.

Any guidance will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance and again, I am sorry if I am beating a dead horse on this topic.

Best Regards!

Google may be a better resource for you however regarding the more general topic of how to mount a NAS-homed network share from Ubuntu; it’s not specific to Plex.

Sorry guys, I think I know what I am missing here. I need to set mounting points on the Ubuntu server for the NAS share volume.

Makes sense.

Thanks again!
