Thank you Space/Constraint wise I'm going to try and keep everything on a single system. The idea of having my media on my hexos rig, but then having Plex on another seems cool... but I don't have the linux know-how for something like that lol. My use case might end up looking like: Installing HexOS on a 1tb nvme ssd Hardware will consists of a core i9-12900k, 32gb ram (will upgrade to 64 at some point), five 12tb drives running in raidz1 (each vdev will have 5 drives, i'll upgrade to five more drives later on, then another 5 way way later on). And I'll throw a GPU in at some point. Installing Ubuntu for a Minecraft server (though I see that Minecraft is a app as well? so will install that and see how that goes first) Install a w11 vm for other misc gaming servers that I would like to run + to download/organize Plex media before i move them over to the pool

Hi there So I'm super new to all of this. From my understanding, through HEXOS I would be able to install Plex through the apps section. But it sounds like you installed a VM instead and installed Plex on that? I'm not familiar with SMB. I might be able to make the separation of software doable. Having my download/organize media content on another pc connected to the network, then moving the content over to my hexos machine? But would it be the end of the world if I made a w11 VM (put aside idk, like 1.5 tb for it) and used that for all of my downloading/organizing software. Then moved the content to the pool?

Bump

I understand and aporeciate your help with the Minecraft input, but that's not the primary question that I asked about. I'm asking about the workflow as to my finding/downloading/organizing media files. Would I be able to do all of that in a W11 VM and then move the content over to the pool?

Wouldn't I need to install Ubuntu for Minecraft? It's the rest of the workflow that I'm trying to figure out.

Hi there, So next month I should be setting up HexOS in a new rig, but before doing so I wanted to figure something out. So right now I have a W11 system that I remote desktop into from my main PC. That W11 system runs Plex + has all of the software required for me to find/download/sort/organize media. I also run a Minecraft server on that system. Now for HexOS my plan is to install Ubuntu so that I can get Minecraft + other video game servers running, but I'm not sure about the workflow for Plex. I know there's a way to install Plex, but when it comes to the "find/download/sort/organize media" part, I'm not sure how any of that would be done. Could I install a W11 VM for all of that and move the media to the pool (not sure if I'm using that term correctly)? The HexOS server will be replacing the W11 system that I currently remote desktop into to do all of this.
