Hello everyone, I’ve been using Bazzite for about 7 months now as my daily driver and I absolutely love it. It’s made me curious enough about Linux as a whole to dip my toes into Arch Linux in the form of CachyOS and I’m really liking that distro after using it on and off for a few weeks now. I have Bazzite installed on its own 2TB SSD and CachyOS is installed on a completely separate 2TB SSD.
My main problem is that I want to keep my Plex data synced between both Bazzite and CachyOS depending on which OS I’m currently booted into, but I’m currently running Plex though a Debian distrobox container. I’ve tried google and even asking on lemmy and reddit for help but I haven’t been able to figure out where my distrobox data is stored on Bazzite. Ideally I’d like to be able to install a Debian distrobox container on CachyOS and simply point it to my Bazzite distrobox data. I’ve already figured out how to mount my Bazzite install in CachyOS but I simply don’t know of a way to use the same distrobox container between two different distros.
Alternatively, if I can export my Plex data so that I don’t lose my watch history and put that into docker, I’d be up for that as well because many people have told me that docker is a better option for Plex media server anyways. I don’t have any experience with docker though, so I’d prefer to just be able to point distrobox to my Bazzite data if possible, but if that’s not possible then I’m 100% open to learning how to use docker if anyone is willing to help me out in that regard.
I may have been using Bazzite for a while now, but I still consider myself to be a relative noob when it comes to Linux as a whole, but I’m always happy to learn more if someone can help me out with how to use a docker installation of Plex media server.
Thanks!
Edit: I already have Plex set to sync watch history across my account, but whenever I sign into my profile from a different OS it prompts me to create a new server and gives me no option to sync with a previous server. I also had this problem when I first switched from Windows 11 to Bazzite, and I abandoned a year and a half’s worth of data to switch to Linux. I’d rather not abandon all my data again, especially because I fully intend to switch between both Bazzite and CachyOS as I still prefer to use Bazzite, so I want to keep the data synced between the 2 distros.
