USE_HW_TRANSCODE - If set to 1, the script will attempt to configure your system for hardware transcode in Plex.

Specify a full path, for example '/mnt/tank/Media'. If set, this script will mount this directory on /media inside the jail.

PLEX_MEDIA_PATH - The path your Plex media files are located in.

POOL_PATH is the path for your main data pool's root directory.

JAIL_IP and DEFAULT_GW_IP are the IP addresses of the jail and your router, respectively.

In its simplest form, the file would look like this: Then create a configuration file called plex-config using your preferred text editor. On your FreeNAS server, change to a convenient directory, and download this script using git clone. Because this depends very much on your data layout and personal preferences, this is left up to the user. That will ordinarily be one or more external datasets on your FreeNAS server, which you can mount to a desired location inside the jail. This script does not address media storage for the jail.

It will create a jail, install Plex Media Server (with or without PlexPass), configure Plex to store its preferences and metadata outside the jail, and create a cron job to update the installed packages every week using the FreeBSD latest repository rather than quarterly.

This is a simple script to automate installation of Plex Media Server in a FreeNAS jail, following current best practices. Scripted installation of Plex Media Server in a FreeNAS jail Description
