Add Plex APT Repository and Import GPG Key

Execute the following commands to add the Plex APT repository to your system and import the repository's GPG key:

curl https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

Update Package List and Install Plex Media Server

Update your package list and install the latest version of the Plex Media Server:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install plexmediaserver

Verify Plex Service Status

To confirm that Plex is running, check the service status with:

sudo systemctl status plexmediaserver

You should see an output indicating that the Plex Media Server is active and running.

Configure Plex Media Server

Create directories to store Plex media files:

sudo mkdir -p /opt/plexmedia/{movies,series}

Set the correct ownership for these directories. The Plex Media Server runs as the user 'plex', which requires read and execute permissions:

sudo chown -R plex: /opt/plexmedia

Note: You can choose any location to store media files, but ensure to set the correct permissions.

Access Plex Server Configuration

To proceed with server configuration, open your web browser and navigate to:

http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:32400/web

This address will redirect you to the Plex website for further configuration.

File Browser Docker Setup Guide

File Browser provides a convenient way to manage files and directories through a web interface. This guide covers setting up File Browser in a Docker container on a Linux-based system.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your system.
• Basic knowledge of terminal commands.

Installation Steps

1. Create Required Directory and Files

   Set up the directory and necessary files for File Browser:

   mkdir -p /home/filebrowser
   touch /home/filebrowser/filebrowser.db
   touch /home/filebrowser/.filebrowser.json
   

   These commands create a directory for File Browser and two files: one for the database and another for the configuration.

2. Edit the Configuration File

   Open the configuration file with a text editor (e.g., nano):

   sudo nano /home/filebrowser/.filebrowser.json
   

   Insert the following JSON configuration:

   {
     "port": 80,
     "noAuth": false,
     "baseURL": "",
     "address": "",
     "log": "stdout",
     "database": "/database.db",
     "root": "/srv"
   }
   

   Save the file and exit the editor.

3. Set File Permissions

   Adjust permissions for the database file to ensure File Browser can access it:

   chmod 666 /home/filebrowser/filebrowser.db
   

4. Run File Browser in Docker

   Start the File Browser container in detached mode:

   sudo docker run -d \
       -v /home/filebrowser:/srv \
       -v /home/filebrowser/filebrowser.db:/database.db \
       -u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
       -p 8080:80 \
       --restart unless-stopped \
       filebrowser/filebrowser
   

Setting file perms CAREFULL

sudo chmod -R 777 /home/filebrowser

This command will start File Browser in the background and map it to port 8080 on your host machine.

Accessing File Browser

After running the Docker command, File Browser will be accessible through your web browser:

• URL: http://localhost:8080
• Default Username: admin
• Default Password: admin

Remember to change the default username and password for security reasons.

Management Commands

• View Logs: docker logs [container-id]
• Stop Container: docker stop [container-id]
• Start Container: docker start [container-id]

Find your container ID using docker ps.
