    # Our next problem is the "Resources" directory in /usr/lib/plexmediaserver.
    # This is ostensibly a skeleton directory, which contains files that Plex
    # copies into its folder in /var. Unfortunately, there are some SQLite
    # databases in the directory that are opened at startup. Since these
    # database files are read-only, SQLite chokes and Plex fails to start. To
    # solve this, we keep the resources directory in the Nix store, but we
    # rename the database files and replace the originals with symlinks to
    # /var/lib/plex. Then, in the systemd unit, the base database files are
    # copied to /var/lib/plex before starting Plex.
