Plex from OMV 2 to OMV 4 - possible or problem?

  • Dear all,


    after a long and good time with OMV 2 I decided to move on to OMV 4. I used a new system -hdd and made a fresh install.
    After installing the Plex-plugin I'm not sure if I simply could activate plex with the same plex-data-folder than before (with a complete other OMV and plex version) and what will happen after that ....


    Any suggestions, hints or case studies ;) ? Did anyone try that?


    Thanks in advance

  • ok, and how do you suggest to do this the right way? (for a linux noob)


    something like that?


    Code
    cp -r /media/9a68130d-d887-430f-80d8-81621bd9b3ef/plexmediaserver /media/9a68130d-d887-430f-80d8-81621bd9b3ef/plexmediaserver_backup

    Any access-right problems to be expected If I dothis the other way as a restore - if something wents wrong?

    • I would assume that you have the Plex metadata in /var/lib/plexmediaserver. And then I would use mc (Midnight Connander) to copy the folder over the network from the old server to the new. Or possibly from a backup of the old server to the new. Also I would use mc to check owner and possibly fix that.
  • The folder "plexmediaserver" has its place on one of the data-hdds not on the system-hdd (sorry if that was not clear in my first post)


    Midnight Commander is not installed yet../ And I'm not firm using it.
    What can I do to check file/folder rights without it?


    I allready did copy the plexmediaserver folder to plexmediaserver_backup (on the same drive).

  • I can report - it does not work. You start over with an "new" plex the old database seems to be useless...
