RN214 plex media server installation fails
RN214, loaded with 8TB disks in RAID5 configuration, 21.82 TB total storage space. Firmware 6.10.3. I attempted to load the Plex Media Server both from the Featured Apps page and by downloading it...

When you click on the "home" icon, do you see a tools icon in the upper right (it will say settings when you mouse over it)?
If you do, try clicking it, and see if your device is shown in the right pane. If it is there, click on "libraries" (under Manage).
How do you turn off quote?
My computer runs Linux Mint. Security is Adblock (turned off for internal network) and NoScript (also turned off for internal network.) No other security is present.
Clicking on Settings icon gives the attached page. It does show the IP address of my RN214 which seems to confirm the server is running the Plex software, just not finding that it is a Plex Media Server.
I clicked on every button on the left pane, and I cannot find Libraries or Manage.
Thanks for answering. Any other ideas?
Clicking on on Authorized Devices does show an entry 5 minutes ago, which of course is when I launched Plex to see if any of your suggestions would fix the issue. Only one device is shown, and that's either the server itself or the computer I'm using as a terminal into the server. Here's the screenshot.
