Components

Media Server

• Plex Media Server
  • Media streaming service
  • Transcoding capabilities
  • Library management
  • Multi-user support

User Management

• Wizarr
  • User invitation system

Storage Configuration

Media Storage

apiVersion: v1
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
metadata:
  name: media-storage
spec:
  accessModes:
    - ReadWriteMany
  storageClassName: nfs-csi
  resources:
    requests:
      storage: 1Ti

Network Configuration

Service Configuration

• Internal service discovery
• External access through ingress
• Secure connections with TLS

Example Ingress

apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: media-ingress
  annotations:
    cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
spec:
  rules:
    - host: plex.example.com
      http:
        paths:
          - path: /
            pathType: Prefix
            backend:
              service:
                name: plex
                port:
                  number: 32400

Resource Management

Resource Allocation

• CPU and memory limits
• Storage quotas
• Network bandwidth considerations

Example Resource Configuration

resources:
  limits:
    cpu: "4"
    memory: 8Gi
  requests:
    cpu: "2"
    memory: 4Gi

Maintenance

Backup Strategy

2. Configuration backups
3. Media library scans
4. Storage cleanup

Monitoring

Key Metrics

• Server health
• Transcoding performance
• Storage usage
• Network bandwidth
• User activity

Alerts

• Storage capacity warnings
• Service availability
• Performance degradation
• Failed transcoding jobs

Troubleshooting

Common issues and resolution steps:

1. Streaming Issues

   • Check network connectivity
   • Verify transcoding settings
   • Monitor resource usage
   • Review logs

2. Storage Problems

   • Verify mount points
   • Check permissions
   • Monitor disk space
   • Review I/O performance

3. User Access Issues

   • Verify authentication
   • Check authorization
   • Review user permissions
   • Check invitation system
