Hi@ll
New to CasaOs, want to move my Plex server there.Install worked fine, logged in with my plex pass account and after selecting my user I get the message “No access”
CasaOS v0.4.9 runs on Deban 12.5, this seems to be a permission problem but where and how do I have to set these permissions ?
THx
Trh
All casaos does is manage containers and will not interfere with the operation of the container application itself. Can you take a screenshot?
Thank you for your reply. The media library resids outside the docker container as shown here:
I entered the path in the Pley container configuration but somehow it has no access to this
path:
How can I add this path or better where am i doing wrong ?
The first path should be the path to your movies, the second path is the path to the Plex mount.
I have done it this way but as it seems to me the Plex container does not see or has no access rights to the Media folder.
To be sure I have made a fresh installation from the scratch with the same negative result.
Is it possible to set the permissions manually ? and how?
What was the resolution to this? Running into the same problem
I followed that guide and switched under the Plex container settings where Plex finds media to the proper raid drive.
I think it has something to do with permissions to read or write (opinion generated from Reading other posts)
I can import a folder titled “anime” with the correct structure for plex and plex see it’s library of films, I import a folder titled “MP4 movies” with the exact same structure as the anime folder on the same raid drive and Plex does not find a single film in that library
Anyone in the future having this problem the way I got around it was I clicked on the three dots for Plex settings and went into the terminal log screen and typed
“id $user”
And then entered what that command spit out under the PGID/PUID in the Plex container settings and the two libraries that were my tests libraries/contents were instantly recognized by the Plex.
I am not sure if this will work for everyone but I ended up changing my drive’s permissions to
sudo chown casaos:casaos -R ./Plex
and now I can record. I figured if all the files in /DATA/AppData/plex/config
were casaos:casaos, then my mounted media folder need to be as well.
