You'll want to use one of the "*.systemd" scripts provided in PlexPy's "init-scripts" directory, since ReadyNAS uses systemd as its init system. Take note of the "Installation Notes" and "Configuration Notes" sections in the service file.

Hello,
Thank you for the quick reply !
I followed all the instruction on the init-scripts, created the folders, I installed plexpy in the /home/admin/plexpy folder.

I can't locate the "system journal".
Would you have any idea on this issue ?
Thank you!
