Moving Plex config from Warden jail to iocage

[tgn55]

Hi,
I have moved my sonarr, radarr etc systems from Warden to iocage successfully, setting up the config data for each app as described in @Pentaflake posts... but I cannot find my Plex data! (Plexpass actually.. if that matters...)

I really want to copy existing (Warden) Plex database/config etc rather than rebuild it under iocage... have searched in all the usual locations, but so far I am stumped.
Any pointers as to where to find this stuff in my jail? Once located I think I'm good to copy... unless there are special tricks re Plex that may not apply to my other apps...

Thanks,

FreeNAS-11.2-RELEASE.
Plex: 1.13.5.5332

Were you able to resolve this?

I just went through this 2 nights ago. I ended finding my plex database not in any place mentioned on here or on the official plex support page. Not sure why, my install was a simple one with pkg install when it was a warden jail.

Note this was the path after I had upgraded from 9.11-U6 to 11.2-U1

Might be a worth checking out. mine was located at:
/mnt/tank1/jail/plex/usr/local/plexdata-plexpass/Plex\ Media\ Server/

where tank1 is your pool name

Hope this helps.

Thanks nojohnny101 and dr_jekyll832... with your comments I found my data. Not sure why I didn;t see it before... Now I just need to sort out mount points and permissions... and hopefully it will all come together ;-)

The linked blog ... and https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...n-from-a-warden-jail-to-an-iocage-jail.60128/ were helpful.

This is the default path and is documents everywhere. You can't be outside the jail though. All parts are relative to the jail root.
