To use Plex Media Server, you need to create an account.

Open your browser, digit you should view login page. Now we can proceed with the server configuration. Obviously you can choose any folder where to place the multimedia files, but remember to grant permissions. We grant permissions: sudo chown -R plex: /opt/plexmediafiles Plex Media Server works with the plex user who obviously needs to have read and write permissions for media files and directories.

Once installation is complete, check operation with: sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver Import the repository GPG key and add the APT repository to the system software repository list by running the following commands: curl | sudo apt-key add - echo deb public main | sudo tee /etc/apt//plexmediaserver.listĪs soon as the Plex repository is enabled, update the package list and install the latest version of the Plex Media Server: sudo apt update sudo apt install plexmediaserver

I guess what I’m stuck on is that I don’t even know what exactly I’m denied permission when trying to start the server wizard.Now install the dependencies needed to enable a new repository over HTTPS: sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl So I’m not sure that it means those permissions. I can see that the config directory I mounted is populated with files and they are owned by the same user and group as intended with the PUID and PGID parameters. They are set to the same user as the one I’m using to log into the DSM UI. I played around with the PUID and PGID Parameters. The messages above contain no errors, only a warning about not doing automatic updates (this is mentioned in the container install guide on docker hub, fine). The latest message is: “Starting Plex Media Server.” In the server log I only see that the container was started. When I access it asks for my Plex account, signs me in and then switches to a page only showing that access to the server was denied. Hey there, I installed the linuxserver plex docker container on a Synology NAS using the built in registry and Docker management app provided by DSM.
