The last directory in the source path is not mounted, just the sub-files and folders inside of it. In Destination select where Plex will find the media files inside it’s own jail. In Source select a directory where you have the media you want to add. I will add two mount points, one for my video files and one for my audio files. You can add multiple Mount Points if you don’t have all your media in the same place. Here you need to select the correct path for Source and Destination. Click Stop to stop it, after this click on Mount Points.Ĭlick on Actions and ADD. Go back to Plugins and open the drop-down menu right for the Plex jail. This is needed to reach media files because the jail is isolated from the base OS. Mount points are “links” between the FreeNAS filesystem and the jail filesystem. Wait a a few minutes for the installation to complete. If you want to configure static IP that can be done by leaving DHCP unchecked, this can also be done later if needed.Įnter a Jail name and click SAVE. To install Plex, just find Plex Media Server and hit INSTALL. This is where Plex will be stored, but not (necessarily) the media files. If you want to change the default pool for Plugins and Jail storage click the gearwheel icon and select your preferences.
The first step is to open up FreeNAS GUI and navigating to Plugins in the left menu. Here is a easy step-by-step guide of the installation process. I just go with the free version since I don’t have any interest in the Premium features.
It is free to use, but has a Premium subscription with some extra features. Plex Media Server are probably the most popular media streamer out there. If you have a FreeNAS server where you store all your media this will be the perfect place to integrate a media streaming solution.
