Hi Boris,  
I have used Plex with success on different devices during last months (\*).  
I am experiencing the following on Nextcloud after Plex installation and libraries scan:

```auto
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator if this error reappears multiple times, please include the technical details below in your report.
More details can be found in the server log.

```

Could it be that the SSD is full for reasons that I totally ignore? Look here:

```auto
root@syncloud:~# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev 1891940 0 1891940 0% /dev

```

If it were the case, I think that several installation/removal of Plex have inflated some folder…maybe its DB? Few months ago my SSD contained only 7 Gb of stuff…and the installed programs were more (Bitwarden, Transmission were also there). Suggestion to purge useless data?

p.s.#1 After Syncloud reboot the problem disappears for some minutes.  
p.s.#2 I have just sent you the logs…Hopefully because I have not been able to download also a local copy as usual.

Thanks a lot for your support

Simone

(\*) in case you’d like a review about Plex’ pro’s and con’s based on my short experience, I’d be glad to write it.

8Gb for root filesystem which runs more than 1 or 2 apps is way too low, you need a proper disk 64Gb or more.

I’m so sorry, Boris: few days ago after few disasters (my fault!) I restored an old system coming from a 8Gb SD and then I forgot to perform the “extend” operation. I’m pretty sure that was the root cause of the problem that I have described.  
I apologize for the inconvenience.  
Here it is my system after the extension to the full capacity of the SD:

```auto

How is Nextcloud now?  
You may need to reboot the device.

Everything works great: extend; reboot; created some “noise” within Plex by purpose (complete rescan, etc.); tested Nextcloud.  
By the way I have noticed that also Plex was in trouble with disk space: some libraries now show more elements than before 😃  
Ciao
