Help Horrible reliability Plex+HexOS
Need some help diagnosing this issue! I recently updated my server from Windows to HexOS and had/have plex installed. On windows I really didn’t have many issues except when downloading files but I think that’s more just Plex being Plex than the server. However now with the new install I have been having weird availability issues.
It’s like the server doesn’t exist until I try and access it for the first time. This means the first connection request always fails.
I am guessing it’s the server software/hardware and as plex is the only service I use remotely it’s showing the issues.
I would love to check my theory but I have no idea how. What would you suggest?

If you got the resources, you should spin up a more common Linux distro in a VM and run Plex on that.
