I migrated PLEX from macOS to Ubuntu Server 22.04.4 LTS (version 1.40.2.8395)
Everything is intact, I can browse my movies, shows, music, photos - all my history, items marked watched is all intact.
However, I’m missing my playlists.
Im OK not having playlist functionality if it’s been deleted but I want, at the very least, to export them as I did take time putting them together.

Did you migrate your installation following the official support article or the more detailed guide from the Linux tips section in the forum?

Migration from another OS to Linux
Cross OS migration is a multi-level process.
Copy the PMS databases and metadata
Update all the media locations to point to their new locations.
Prerequisites - On the originating host
Settings - Server - Library
Turn off:
Scan my library automatically
Run a partial scan when changes are detected
Include music libraries in automatic scans
Scan library periodically
Empty trash automatically after every scan
Stop Plex
ZIP up the “Plex Media Serve…
This should also transfer all your manual edits as well as playlists from the server‘s database.
If you created a new setup, only moving the media to the new install, the playlists won’t be there (as those reside in your server‘s database). History and ratings might have been transferred independently if you’ve enabled those to be stored on your account.
