Assuming Plex server hasn’t changed too much, last I was using it on Linux killing it didn’t damage it at all. 

I believe it is still called  “plexmediaserver”

I’ll have to check in the web interface if there is a more proper way to shut it down.

thanks, Rich: another thing, I can get it to run fine, but can't figure out how to 'properly' shut it off
...on line descriptions of how to do it do not match what I see here

The server can ping databases to get cover art and synopses for your movies, but I'm pretty sure you can turn that off.  I don't have a definitive answer, but I think that's the extent of access to files on your PC.

I played around with the PLEX "app" the other day, I downloaded it from
the Ubuntu Software Center, and a PLEX app onto my Roku. I had a movie
file that I placed in a designated folder and could easily watch it on
the TV through Roku.  I seems like a very slick (works well, easy to
use) system.

My question to you all is, can anyone tell me about the privacy
factors?  Looking on line gives me conflicting information.  Does
running PLEX on my PC give that company potential access to anything on
my PC?
