Pendragon1 Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Every time I reboot my server, my plex acts like it's the initial setup. I have to re-add my libraries. I have the transcoding going to my ram, the appdata going to an unassigned device ( a m.2 drive) and the config going to the default the docker set. Any help would be appreciated.

Squid Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Post your diagnostics and the docker run command for plex Quote Link to comment
Pendragon1 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 I think I got what you asked. avengers-diagnostics-20220130-0349.zip Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Your template settings are wrong. You've got the appdata path or /config path going to a host path of /config/Library/Applications Support/Plex Media Server This location is in RAM and will be lost at every reboot. The entries for /config are automatically adjusted by the system to reflect the base path of whatever you have set in Settings - Docker, Default appdata path, so it would appear that you've gone to show more settings and manually changed it yourself. This should be something akin to /mnt/user/appdata/Plex Also, for your /transcode path you want to set this to be a subdirectory off of /tmp (ie: /tmp/transcode or /tmp/plex etc) Doing it that way you have it (currently mapped to /tmp), Plex has full control over that directory, and if it decides to delete stuff in it (which it does) that was placed there by the OS, weird problems will results across the entire GUI Quote Link to comment
Pendragon1 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 Is the metadata stored in the /config or the /data? I'm trying to store my library and metadata to my m.2 drive which is an unassigned drive Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 /config stores all of the appdata (library etc). Plexinc has added in another mapping of /data which you could use to point to your library itself (ie: /mnt/user/media) to make your life a little easier. Quote Link to comment
Pendragon1 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Wouldn't I need to direct the plex appdata to my m.2 drive so my library info (metadata) is on my m.2 drive where I want it? Edited January 30, 2022 by Pendragon1 mistake Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Yes, that's entirely up to you. How you had it is storing it in RAM. Just give it the appropriate path Quote Link to comment
Pendragon1 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Would "/mnt/disks/appdata/Plex-Media-Server" be the right path for what I want to do? /disks being my unassigned m.2 drive Edited January 30, 2022 by Pendragon1 mistake Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Instead of typing the paths (which is quite possibly how you got into this situation, simply hit EDIT and click the host path and use the dropdown to navigate to the correct paths) Quote Link to comment
Pendragon1 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 I used the dropdowns but when I try to send the appdata to my m.2 drive, I get a "refused to connect" message. Quote Link to comment

Squid Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Give it a couple of minutes. If it still doesn't pop up on the access mode for that path it should in theory be set to Read/Write:Slave Quote Link to comment
Pendragon1 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 It didn't work. I even set r/w to slave. Quote Link to comment
Squid Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Do the logs offer anything interesting? (Click the icon and select Logs) What is the format of the unassigned device? (btrfs / xfs or something else) Quote Link to comment
Pendragon1 Posted January 30, 2022 Author Share Posted January 30, 2022 It's fxs. ErrorWarningSystemArrayLogin.docx system log.pdf Quote Link to comment
