Plex Media Server on NB2800

This article describes how to install a Plex Media Server on a NB2800 router.

Plex is a freemium server/client-based media platform. It connects metadata to your files and lets you show your media on a huge variety of client devices.

Preparations

All preparations made are described in this article: How to set up a NB2800 File Server

If you need instructions on how to set up a LXC Container on NB2800 Routers, you can refer to this page: http://wiki.netmodule.com/app-notes/virtualisation.

The first thing you need to do is to install two programs which are needed for the installation to work properly. Enter

apt-get update
apt-get install gnupg2 apt-transport-https

Install Plex Media Server

Before the installation of Plex can start, you need to add the repositorys, from where Plex Media Server is loaded, to the system. For this, enter

wget -O - https://dev2day.de/pms/dev2day-pms.gpg.key | apt-key add -
echo "deb https://dev2day.de/pms/ jessie main" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/pms.list

Now that the system has the source from where it can load the Plex Media Server, you have to update the systems package lists:

apt-get update

Now you can install the Plex Media Server:

apt-get install plexmediaserver

Setup Plex Media Server
