## Plex Media Server

- **Version**: 1.43.0.10492-121068a07

- **Run user**: plex
- **Data dir**: `/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/`

## Auto Updates

Plex is updated automatically via the **official Plex apt repository** and Debian's built-in `apt-daily-upgrade.timer`.

- **Repo**: `deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/plexmediaserver.v2.gpg] https://repo.plex.tv/deb/ public main`
- **Sources list**: `/etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list`
- **GPG key**: `/etc/apt/keyrings/plexmediaserver.v2.gpg` (PlexSign.v2.key)
- **Update mechanism**: `apt-daily.timer` fetches package lists, `apt-daily-upgrade.timer` installs upgrades (both run daily via systemd)

Previously used the third-party [plexupdate](https://github.com/mrworf/plexupdate) script (`/opt/plexupdate/plexupdate.sh` via `/etc/cron.daily/plexupdate`), which downloaded `.deb` files directly from plex.tv. This was removed on 2026-03-13 in favor of the official apt repo after Plex announced deprecation of the old update method.

## NFS Media Mounts (via TrueNAS DATA_50 network)

All mounts use NFS 4.2 with `nconnect=4,async,_netdev,nofail,x-systemd.automount`.

| Mount Point | NFS Export |
|-------------|-----------|
| /mnt/nfs/Movies | truenas-nfs:/mnt/mypool/share/Media/Movies |
| /mnt/nfs/TV | truenas-nfs:/mnt/mypool/share/Media/TV |
| /mnt/nfs/Anime | truenas-nfs:/mnt/mypool/share/Media/Anime |

`truenas-nfs` resolves via `/etc/hosts` to multiple TrueNAS DATA_50 IPs (10.50.0.25–28) for NFS multipathing.

## Host Aliases (/etc/hosts)

| IP | Hostname |
|----|----------|
| 10.50.0.25 | nfs1, truenas-nfs |
| 10.50.0.26 | nfs2, truenas-nfs |
| 10.50.0.27 | nfs3, truenas-nfs |
| 10.50.0.28 | nfs4, truenas-nfs |
