404 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 I have a Plex server plugin that I have been working on that I would like to have access to through my Share folders so that I can edit the files on a remote Windows machine. However, I don't want to expose my whole appdata directory to do it. What is the best approach to create a link that I would be able to access my plugin bundle through a public directory? My naive approach was to just make a link but the link doesn't show up in the directory. I did something like this: (In the plex plugin directory) ln -s Plugin.bundle /mnt/user/Projects/ However, Plugin.bundle doesn't show up under Projects when I try to find it remotely.

Squid Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Add an entry to smb-extra.conf on the flash drive (/config) to share that specific folder directly. I'll post tonight the exact entries to use, but its not too hard with Goggle at your side. 1 Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Make the appdata share private. That way only specified users have access. You can also make it hidden to prevent anyone else from even seeing it, but you can still get to it by specifying its path. As for managing plex plugins, the approach I always take is to just copy them to somewhere else on my server, then ssh and use mc (Midnight Commander) to move them where they belong. And another possibility for editing files directly on your server is to use Squid's own plugin, CA Config Editor. 1 Quote Link to comment

Thanks again. 59 minutes ago, trurl said: As for managing plex plugins, the approach I always take is to just copy them to somewhere else on my server, then ssh and use mc (Midnight Commander) to move them where they belong.

I could also use the editor in Midnight Commander but I needed syntax highlighting. Thanks again Joel Quote Link to comment

Copy/paste from CA Config Editor to syntax-aware editor of choice. When finished editing, copy/paste from syntax-aware editor of choice to CA Config Editor. Etc. Quote Link to comment
