> [@Hazimil](#): > > The command to create the Jail (line 166) has ${DEVFS\_RULESET} on it. I understand the rest but not sure what this is, can you expand my knowledge please by explaining it. This is used with the hardware transcode setup. > [@Hazimil](#): > > I think I understand that lines 195 & 198 set the Plex MetaData directory to /config, which is where you mount the dataset holding this data, is that right? Correct, though whether it’s a dataset or a directory is up to the user. > [@Hazimil](#): > > Not sure what the directory /configs is used for, can you explain? It’s used temporarily for files that need to be copied into the jail–`pkg.conf` and the package update script. > [@Hazimil](#): > > has this now merged into the plexmediaserver package with the plexmediaserver\_plexpass just being used as a BETA now? Yes. The “normal” package provides the PlexPass features if you’re signed in to a PlexPass account, and doesn’t if you aren’t. The “Plexpass” package now acts as a beta. It gives early access to some new features (at least at times), but isn’t as stable. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.freenas-community.org/t/scripted-installation-of-plex-media-server/47)._
