Introduction

Welcome to the Nasmans Plex-server.

This started out as a personal project, but got out of hand pretty quickly. About a year ago, I bought an old NAS because I wanted to improve my backup routine and learn about network attached storage. Because I didn't really trust an old NAS with a fatal CPU-bug, nor the old drives it came with, I decided to set up a Plex-server. Well, fast-forward a year and the amount of media has skyrocketed, my backup-routines are still as bad as ever though. Shocker.

For those who don't know, Plex is a front end for personally hosted media. It pretty much means I have a load of files spinning in a box somewhere, which you can access through Plex. Pretty much a personal Netflix, but without the subscription or the shockingly badly curated content.

This section will give some general information about Plex and some of its best practices.
