Plex Server Installation & Setup in OMV 6

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hi,

    I have setup Plex Server on OMV6 following the tutorial here:

    https://www.wundertech.net/how…l-plex-on-openmediavault/


    All of my media is saved in 3 folders at the following path:

    /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-09ac0fa3-5fcc-435a-9bfa-80bda51c8505/BIGSTOR


    In that path I have:

    -films

    -tvseries

    -music


    In the 'volumes' step in the above tutorial I put the path to BIGSTOR

    When Adding to my library in Plex I put in the path including 'movies' so I have /media/movies


    It all 'seems' to be fine however no media is appearing and "Movies" is empty on screen.


    When I am choosing the folder and try to select "media' - all three of the above folders are greyed out.


    I'm assuming therefore this is all a permission issue but I'm not sure what user it's all running in so cant create and add that user to the group.


    Any guidance appreciated - new to docker sadly :(

    I don't use Plex, but you probably haven't been replied to as there is a howto in the guides section here + that howto just looks odd for a plex install.

    One of things I do know is that config file can grow exponentially and that config appears to point to where docker is installed and if the path to docker has not been changed from the default then the boot device is going to fill up


    EDIT: the way to deploy something like plex or docker containers in general is to use portainer stacks -> docker compose file, this makes the container easier to update and manage

    I think you have to bind your folder separately in your docker config through Portainer:


    container: /films

    host: /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-09ac0fa3-5fcc-435a-9bfa-80bda51c8505/BIGSTOR/films


    container: /tvseries

    host: /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-09ac0fa3-5fcc-435a-9bfa-80bda51c8505/BIGSTOR/tvseries


    container: /music

    host: /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-09ac0fa3-5fcc-435a-9bfa-80bda51c8505/BIGSTOR/music


    Than in Plex you can point to one of those three folders (/films /tvseries /music)

    7.0.5-1 (Sandworm) | 64 bit | pve-kernel-6.8 | omvextrasorg 7.0

    I have found this to be acceptable but unnecessary. I have it this way:


    Code
    volumes:
  - /srv/mergerfs/multimedia:/multimedia

    /srv/mergerfs/multimedia has these subdirectories:


    /movies

    /tv-series

    /music


    Within Plex I can select these individually as


    /multimedia/movies

    /multimedia/tv-series

    /multimedia/music


    A very important point to keep in mind is that the user the container runs as must have the appropriate permissions to access the media files and container configuration.


    IMHO the guide cited by the OP is lacking and contains a rather egregious suggestion of running the container in Privileged Mode.

    That's similar to how how I do it as well.


    I have all my media directories (Movies, Music, TV, etc.) symlinked under /NAS/Media.


    Then I just simply make my container volume


    /NAS/Media:/media


    Then in Emby(or Plex, or Jellyfin, etc.).. when I add a library it's just /media/movies, /media/tv, etc....
