Plex Media Server how to install

Hi, i try/search how to install (Ubuntu server)), but i can’t find a solution, it’s possible ?

About how to install Ubuntu server, You can refer to the post

I want to install Plex Media Server in Ubuntu Server.

According the Plex.tv, as they haven’t released any Linux installer base on ARM64, so maybe the only way is chose the Docker one.

I think you can take a try according the instructions on Plex.tv, and if any problems, you can post on the topics.

Good luck!

Plex in docker works! I have tested on Libreelec (balbes build) with Plex from Linuxserver.io (aarch64 container) and it works. I assume that will work on other Linux distros. I think the name for plex on LinuxServer.io was PlaxPy. You can pull the conteiner directly.

PlexPy (armhf)

Can you share your experiences using Plex (not in docker), especially what kind of video files, formats, file size, bitrates, etc can be flawlessly transcoded on VIM?

Over internet without conversion works fine, but depends movie i want see with convert stream sometimes can’t stream.
