Plex

Plex Media Server runs as an LXC container on proxfold.

Container details

Property Value
Container ID 100
Hostname plex
IP 192.168.1.230
OS Debian
Memory 4096 MB

Mount points mp0: /stash,mp=/stash

Media access

The ZFS pool is mounted directly into the container at /stash via Proxmox mount point (mp0). A symlink provides the path Plex uses:

/mnt/plex -> /stash/rodneystash

Plex library paths:

Library Path in container
Movies /mnt/plex/Movies
TV Shows /mnt/plex/TV Shows

Permissions

Plex runs as user plex (uid 999, gid 996). Media files on ZFS are owned by root:root with 755 permissions, which gives Plex read access.

Previous NAS mount (disabled)

The systemd mount unit at /etc/systemd/system/mnt-plex.mount previously mounted the NAS via CIFS. It is stopped and disabled but the unit file still exists on disk:

systemctl stop mnt-plex.mount
systemctl disable mnt-plex.mount
