Installing Plex Media System on CentOS 7

Plex is a very good media server that can share videos, etc., and supports Windows, Linux and other systems. Below is the installation process on CentOS 7 64-bit.

1. Update the system

 yum update && sudo yum install wget

2. Install Plex

 wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/1.12.1.4885-1046ba85f/plexmediaserver-1.12.1.4885-1046ba85f.x86_64.rpm yum install plexmediaserver*.rpm

3. Set up Plex to start at boot

 systemctl enable plexmediaserver.service systemctl start plexmediaserver.service

4. Web access settings

 ssh [email protected] -L 8888:localhost:32400

Use port 8888 to access, 192.0.2.1 is the IP address of your server.

Use the browser: http://192.0.2.1:8888/web to access the user name root, the password is your root password

The rest can be operated in the web interface, just do it yourself.
