My Plex Workflow Question

[VinnyHaw]

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.

You can setup vms in hexos but you don't need to setup vms for Minecraft servers or Plex

You can do both straight from hexos.

Wouldn't I need to install Ubuntu for Minecraft? 

 

It's the rest of the workflow that I'm trying to figure out.

I don't play it myself but there is a guide showing how to setup a Minecraft server. It didn't mention vms
