Kill Plex Media Server

I’ve installed Plex Media Server, I’d like to copy my settings from my old server to this new install in Linux Mint with Snapd.
How do I force kill/stop the Plex Service?

I tried sudo systemctl disable snap.plexmediaserver.plexmediaserver.service but when I refresh the plex homepage in firefox it’s still working.

sudo snap disable plex(tab) autocompletes to sudo snap disable plexmediaserver, sudo snap enable plexmediaserver to re-enable it.

Also, sudo snap stop plexmediaserver and sudo snap start plexmediaserver are good for stopping / starting.

Thanks! That worked perfect. New Problem, It’s been working fine for a week or so I just had to reboot and now plex doesn’t start up. when I open Plex Media Server it opens firefox to a page that cannot be displayed. If I try to start the service it says it’s already running.

Did you maybe forget to sudo snap enable plexmediaserver?

What do you get from sudo snap start plexmediaserver and snap logs plexmediaserver?
