I am trying to set up Plex to allow for Camera Upload from my phone to perform backups of my photos for my wife and I. We have Plex configured on a jail. The dataset for Plex is owned by root/wheel by default right now. We are logged in to the storage on my Windows 10 machine as root to map it as a network drive. But even with that, I am unable to create folders or modify anything there.
For Plex, I noticed in the log files that the Plex app on my phone is successfully uploading the files to a /tmp/ directory but then failing to copy them over to the actual library which is configured as /media/ on the jail. It is giving a permission denied. The media directory is owned by root/wheel as well. I tried to give the Photos library the 777 permissions via chmod, but get permission denied as well...even as root in the shell. I am very confused by this....
Is there a way to allow plex to have full read/write access to anything in that jail? Is there also a way to grant my Windows 10 PC full read/write access to any of my data storage volumes too? I would like to avoid any future permission issues. I am not that worried about safety, since everything is local to my network anyways. I would like things to just be simple to maintain.
