Email alert when a drive fails on Ubuntu
Email alert when a drive fails on Ubuntu
You need to configure your Plex server to send alerts via email when a hard drive fails. This involves setting up an SMTP account and linking it to your server’s notification system. While guides focus on the technical setup, you’ll also need to create an SMTP account and configure it to deliver emails from your server.
They believe you already have mail configured. If your server can't send mail independently, consider using an external server.
