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.
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
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
To get access to the Plex Media Server, open your web browser and go to http://IP-address-of-your-container:32400/web .
Now you can start to setup th Plex Media Server. On the first page, you can login to an existing Plex account or create a new one. If you want to continue without using an account, click on “What's this?” in the lower right corner.
On the next screen, click on “Skip and accept limited functionality” under the main window.
