In the next step we are going to look for the UUID of the device as it never changes whereas your partition id can always change as you unmount or mount new USB devices. If you ever want to unmount the SSD you can use the unmount command but for this specific use case, we want to permanently mount the SSD on startup.

The output should be similar: /dev/sda2 on /media/plex type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096) The next step is to check if the SSD partition is mounted correctly: mount | grep sda2

Mount the SSD partition to the plex directory: mount /dev/sda2 /media/plex Once you can see and confirm that the SSD is connected, you have to create a directory and mount the SSD to it with the following commands: Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes The output should be similar to the output below: Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type Once the SSD is plugged in you should check if the Operating System is detecting it: sudo fdisk -l My SSD is connected via USB mount, I am using a type of rackmount kit for the raspberry pi, you can check it out on Amazon if you want to get one for yourself. Next, we are going to look for our connected SSD. Setup Docker and Docker-Composeįollow these steps to install docker and docker-compose on either a Raspberry PI4 or Intel System. If you have a collection of tv shows and movies and you are looking to stream them over your local network then you can utilize plex. Plex is a free and Opensource Media Streaming Server that you can host in your home or local network to steam your media to your smart tv or through your browser. I am attaching an SSD to the Raspberry PI4 and mounting it to use it as storage for my media files. In this tutorial, we are going to look at how to install Plex Media Server inside a Docker container on a Raspberry PI4(Or an Intel-Based 64-bit System) running Ubuntu Linux.
