I've read through the user guide, and have read through an appreciable amount of the posts in this subforum. I learn best by doing and repeating my steps to those in the know and taking correction on them, so here it goes:
The Setup:
FreeNAS in my sig is the hardware. On it I currently have Plex installed as a plugin. I also have NextCloud installed.
I have no media files on the NAS yet, as I'm still trying to figure out permissions that would allow me to use FTP to upload to the NAS from a Windows machine that is currently hosting all of my media files. Once the media files are uploaded, my intention is to have the NAS accessible (in a read/write capacity) from the Windows desktop, and accessible (in a read capacity) from anything running a Plex app, to include 3 Roku's hooked up to TVs.
I currently have one user (besides root) created on the NAS.
What I want as far as permissions:
One central repository of data. Plex in a jail, and NextCloud in a jail, able to access it.
My (very weak) understanding of the permissions needed: root can continue to own everything. I can create users that read/right access to everything that root owns? Conversely, I can create a group that has all the permissions and include and exclude users as needed?
Plex creates users that can access it. I'm assuming that those permissions would be handled inside of the Plex server itself and FreeNAS wouldn't care so long as the Plex Server had permissions to all of the media files.
How am I coming so far? Is there any screen caps you would want to see to try to help get this set up?
