Hey everyone, I’ve just recently started dual booting Bazzite, which I’ve been using as my main OS for about 6-7 months now, and CachyOS, which I just installed a week ago. I’m really liking CachyOS, but I currently run Plex media server in a Debian distrobox container on my main Bazzite installation and I’d like to be able to have access to the same watch history etc on both Bazzite and Cachy.

Can I just install distrobox in CachyOS and point it to the proper data directory that already exists in Bazzite? If so, where are the distrobox files located? I’ve already done some searching and couldn’t figure out the answer by myself so that’s why I’m asking here.

If that’s not an option, is there a way for me to migrate my Plex data to a docker and access Plex media server that way through both distros? I really don’t want to reset all my watch history again, as I share this with both my brother and mom and I’ve already reset the watch history twice by once reinstalling Windows and then again when I switched to Linux.

I also don’t know how to use docker, so any information about getting a Plex media server set up properly in docker would be appreciated. I’ve been using Linux for a decent amount of time now and have learned a lot, but I definitely still consider myself to be a noob to Linux. But I’m 110% open to learning, I just need to be pointed in the right direction or given some good advice on how best to proceed to meet my needs.

I know that ideally, I would be using a separate PC to run Plex media server, but I don’t have the money to buy a secondary PC to serve exclusive server duty, so I run it off my main PC.

Thank you in advance to anyone that can help, all replies are much appreciated!
