Welcome. Have to say I consider myself one of the poorer typists on the forum (mostly because I often quickly Swype on my phone). But you are making me look extremely good!

500G should be fine. Would recommend that your media folders be configured to NOT use cache. This will reduce the writes to the cache (extending its lifetime) and reduce the bulk of data this can create on your cache.

 

That size is more than plenty for plex and your dockers. You probably don't want your "seed files" living on the cache. Might consider including a UD in the server.

Click the "help" button in the UI while on the user share configuration screen and you'll get a good explanation and help you make these decisions.

Go with the LinuxServer version of Plex would be my recommendation.

Many thx for the help the problem i tryed to read and undurstud the split folder funtion , readign on the froum so many people saying diffrent things so mine old brain just died..

What i ment what lvl is best for  not spinning upp the disk to much and basickly keep the whole movie folder (not the whole collection ofc  )and episodes on same disk.and make it easy for plex-emby.

i i get it right lvl 2 split shoud work fine ?

That's what I use and it works for me, but the point is that you understand how it works and what's the best setting for you.

That fact I believe is a large part of why this forum works, feels, and acts much differently than almost all other tech based forums. There generally is a level of maturity and knowledge here that just isn't seen elsewhere.

Yes, yes!  We’re not old - we’re mature and knowledgeable B|.  And some of us are really mature, lol.

Thx all feeling YOUNG again :=)
