Running Plex on CentOS 7. Due to filesystem size constraints, I’ve relocated the app data to another directory by editing the systemd unit and changing the value of PLEX_MEDIA_SERVER_APPLICATION_SUPPORT_DIR (instructions from support in link below).
Now I’ve just enabled the yum repo and updated but saw a warning logged about renaming the unit file. Then after restarting the service, the server was like a new install with no libraries. Found that my customization of the unit was in the renamed file so I restored that and my server was fixed.
Is there a way to update via yum or any other method to avoid losing the systemd unit customization? Otherwise, is there another way to change the application directory without editing the unit?
