Hey Guys,
I have a question about the Plex plugin and file permissions. Until now I have done the following steps.
1. I created a user "nasuser".
2. I created a user "nasadmin".
3. I created a dataset for my media like music and videos.
4.I gave this dataset the following permissions.
owner: nasadmin
group: nasuser
permissions: 770
The nasadmin to controll all shares and the nasuser only for the media share/dataset.
5. I copied my media data by samba to the dataset.
6. I installed Plex mediaserver plugin.
7. I created a new folder "media" inside the plugin jail under /mnt/.
8. I added the jail storage from my freenas media dataset to the new created media folder.
By now everything looks fine. In the shell I can see all my files in the storage/mount.
9. I stated the Plex plugin and I tried to add a library. But I can't see the files from the mount.
After some testing and investigation I found out that I need to set the following permissions to see the media files/folders.
owner: nasadmin
group: nasuser
permissions: 775
But now other can read and execute files at this dataset. That's not in my interest.
Is there a solution to use media files with Plex without setting the permissions for other?
I hope my question is understandable. Thanks for your help.
