From what I understand from your post, this should be 'mediadrive' ons-guide/īefore going to reading, try to apply the below 2 commands in terminal while being located at the topmost folder of your plex folder structure. The plex server runs as a user 'plex', belonging to a group 'plex'. Must admit that I struggled in the beginning, just like you.Īfter careful reading in the plex support articles, it all came down to properly setup the permissions on the folders and files. Am running a plex server myself on Linux Mint.
