Plex Installation without GUI on Ubuntu Server
Today we are going to install Plex Server on a Gui free ubuntu Server via Putty..
I will be using a virtual Server that was made in my other video,
OS: Ubuntu Server minimum 1610,
1Core, 1Gb Ram, 25Gb SSD,
I have tested this vServer Hardware and i can confirm it was able to transcode 2/3 concurrent streams without issues.
Back to installation,
Before i can start the install Off, i need to update my Server Minimum to Server Standard due to missing dependencies.
If you followed the guide before then please run the following before installing plex
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install ubuntu-server
After install Reboot Server
1. Visit www.plex.tv, Downloads, Download Plex Media Server, Pick Linux and hit download, I have ubuntu 64bit installed so i will get the package address for that version. Pasted below
https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-...
2. Login to your Gui Free Server via Putty,
3. With the Package address in your clipboard, type in
"wget" and paste the address then hit Enter
4. Now before installing plex Media Server there is no harm in updating your system
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
carrying on with the plex install
follow command below,
sudo dpkg -i (.deb filename),
5.After the install type in exit and reload putty,
6.Due to not having a GUI we need to tunnel traffic back to our system to load the plex gui to finish off the installation
7.Load Putty, Go into Connections, SSH and Tunnels,
Input: Source Port: 32400
Destination: 127.0.0.1:32400
Click Add, and then go back up to the top and click sessions.
8. Log Back in to your server on putty after inputting the above details:
9. When you have successful logged in, keeping putty open, load an Internet Browser
and visit 127.0.0.1:32400/web, and if everything worked then you will be greeted with a Plex Login Screen ready to finish the rest of the installation off.
