Now we need to set plex as the owner of the dataset we created in section 1.Ģ.16. Uncheck the "New Primary Group" box.Ģ.14 in the "Primary Group" drop down menu, select the plex group Use anything you want for the "Full Name" field.Ģ.13. Click the "ADD" button toward the top right of the FreeNAS WebGUI.Ģ.9. Click the "Accounts" menu on the left hand side of the FreeNAS WebGUI.Ģ.8. Create a group called plex with a "GID" of 972.Ģ.6. Click the "ADD" button toward the top right of the FreeNAS WebGUI.Ģ.4. Click the "Accounts" menu on the left hand side of the FreeNAS WebGUI.Ģ.3. In order to avoid potential issues, I recommend creating the Group first. For most users this will mean creating a new User and Group on their FreeNAS system. The next thing you need to do is to change the permissions of the Plexĭataset so that the plex user, that already exists within you Jail or Plguin, is able to read and write to the new dataset. Note that I also have a dataset for housing my Deluge state data, which really has come in handy. And then create a "child" dataset within the "Apps" dataset called "Plex". You don't have to nest the Plex dataset under an Apps dataset but doing so means that when you create other datasets for housing config data, having them all under Apps helps keep things nice, neat, and logical.ġ.1 So for Plex, go ahead create a dataset called Apps. I then have a dataset called Apps and finally, a dataset named Plex. Create the Dataset(s) where you'll house metadata and config files for your Jail. $PLUGIN = the name your Plugin and it's associated Jail, if you installed Plex using the offical Plex Plugin.ġ. $JAIL = the name your Plex Jail, if you installed Plex manually. Don't just copy and paste the commands in the guide! My preferred client is PuTTY but there are many great alternatives out there.įor this guide, I'll be using a few variables that you'll have to modify yourself. However, I do recommend the use of an SSH client and if you haven't got one setup already, I highly recommend that you set one up. I've written this guide so that it can be followed using the FreeNAS WebGUI alone and without the use of external software, specifically an SSH client.

The new PLex install runs fine but you have a blank slate. You try to trouble shoot it but you just can't find the problem let alone fix it.
For example, lets say that your Plex Jail, be it one that you have manually created or one that was created when you installed the Plex Plugin, stops working for some reason.
The simple answer is that it makes managing your Plex Jail or Plugin much less of a hassle. why would you want to house your Plex metadata / config on it's own Dataset? then this guide is written with you in mind. If other guides out there are a little over your head at the moment, you don't no your vi from your vim, or you've only just got those pesky permissions working. This guide is aimed at users who are completely new to FreeNAS and / or have little or no experience with FreeNAS, using the command line or even some of the basic commands for Unix like operating systems. Hi and welcome to my guide to managing your Plex metadata.
