## Resources
|
|
|
|
Because Plex is a streaming service it is [recommended](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/200375666-Plex-Media-Server-Requirements) that the server has at least 2 GB RAM and 2 CPU cores, this is exactly what the server got. On top of that the disk is resized to 32 GB so the meta data is able to be stored on the server itself.

## Ports
|
|
|
|
Officially Plex runs on port 32400 so this one should be port forwarded. However because a proxy server handles the website it is not necessary to port forward anything.

## Installation
|
|
|
|
* To get Plex, first head over to [this](https://www.plex.tv/downloads/) website to get the download URL for the Debian package. If you found that URL download Plex using `wget <URL>`;
|
|
|
|
* Then use `dpkg -i <Debian package>` to install Plex;
|
|
|
|
* Now go to `IP-address:32400/web` and finish the setup of Plex;
|
|
|
|
* Plex uses Samba shares, therefore follow [this tutorial](https://git.mphslaats.com/mphslaats/server-documentation/wikis/servers/samba#automatically-mount-share-during-system-startup) to add the shares during system startup.
