Google Drive with Plex and local read-only cache

Help and Support
61

I'm installing a new server on Ubuntu, I would like to use rclone on plex and also share on my internal network to use on another device, which way should I follow?

62

ok. if you want install plex on the ubuntu server, then do that

you can copy the config file from windows machine to linux machine.

63

I'm going to do this, I can mount the unit and then share the webdav or http tbm samba files don't seem to work with rclone, correct?

64

i have shared a rclone mount over samba, i have a post about that somewhere.
let me try to find it for you.

Ok.

I still need to see how to do the samba on this my /drive. LOL

71

Done.

I changed the owner of the cache folder and it worked.

sudo chown -R tiago:tiago /cache
now I'm going to try the samba part.

72

I successfully managed the server with rclone + plex + samba on the internal network my cache on the SSD.

performance is great :star_struck:
