If you don't have a Plex Media Server at home or just don't have the bandwidth to stream content out of your home network you can mount a torrent server and Plex Server in Google Cloud.

The commands that you see in the video are the following:

1. sudo apt-get update
2. sudo apt-get install transmission-cli transmission-common transmission-daemon
3. sudo service transmission-daemon stop
4. sudo nano /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json
5. sudo service transmission-daemon start
6. sudo mkdir /mnt/nameofyourplexfolder
7. sudo chmod -R 777 /mnt/nameofyourplexfolder
8. export GCSFUSE_REPO=gcsfuse-`lsb_release -c -s`
9. echo "deb http://packages.cloud.google.com/apt $GCSFUSE_REPO main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gcsfuse.list
10. curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt... | sudo apt-key add -
11. sudo apt-get update
12. sudo apt-get install gcsfuse
13. sudo nano /etc/fuse.conf
14. gcsfuse -o allow_other --gid 0 --uid 0 --file-mode 777 --dir-mode 777 --key-file /path_to_your_keyFile_that_you_just_uploaded.json nameOfYourBucket /path/to/mount
15. wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-...
16. sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.9.6.4429-23901a099_amd64.deb
