Plex Media Permissions for Linux Noobies

Plex Media Permissions for Linux Noobies

There is no problem with being a noobie and I do not use the term to sligtht or disparage anyone.

This is a way to setup your permissions for running Plex in Linux. Different folks may use different methods.

The permissions concepts provided here apply to OSX, but the users and groups are controlled and modified differently, so much of this will not work properly. I think the command is dscl, but that could be out of date.

There are many ways to setup your permissions scheme in Linux, this methodology describes a way to do it, not everyone will like it, but it works for me, so whatever.

DevonThink Search operators
DevonThink Search operators
In the toolbar search field, as well as in both the interactive and the simple web interface, you can use standard and extended Boolean operators, parenthesis, and more to fine tune your search.
The syntax of the operators is compatible to DEVONagent and EasyFind, the Finder, Spotlight, common search engines as well as common programming languages such as C, C++, Objective-C, Java, and JavaScript. The complexity of the query is unlimited.
Case
All terms are case-insensitive. You may, if you wish, use capitalization for proper names in a query, but DEVONthink Pro Office will ignore case in interpreting the query.

Nextcloud on Raspberry Pi 3 Setup

Nextcloud on Raspberry Pi 3 Setup

This manual describes how to setup a Raspberry Pi 3 with nginx, PHP 7.0, MariaDB and use it as a Nextcloud server. Strong TLS encryption with Let's Encrypt certificates is also used. Of course, Owncloud can be used instead of Nextcloud. As of February 2017, the installation instructions are basically the same.

Useful links and knowledge sources for this step-by-step manual

Rsync over SSH - (40MB/s over 1GB NICs)

The fastest remote directory rsync over ssh archival I can muster (40MB/s over 1gb NICs)

This creates an archive that does the following:

rsync (Everyone seems to like -z, but it is much slower for me)

  • a: archive mode - rescursive, preserves owner, preserves permissions, preserves modification times, preserves group, copies symlinks as symlinks, preserves device files.
  • H: preserves hard-links
  • A: preserves ACLs
