This image allows you to configure a Plex Media Server easily thanks to Docker.
First, you have to mount your USB drive.
sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive
Important Note
Don't forget to mount the Plex Library directory local folder to /root/Library folder.
Example :
docker run -d --restart=always --name plex -v /mnt/usbdrive:/media --net=host -v /mnt/usbdrive:/root/Library jaymoulin/plex
This will start Plex using your mounted drive in /media path in Plex.
docker run -d --restart=always --name plex -v /mnt/usbdrive:/media --net=host jaymoulin/plex
Go to http://your_machine_ip:32400/manage to configure it
If you don't have Docker installed yet, you can do it easily in one line using this command
curl -sSL "https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jaymoulin/e749a189511cd965f45919f2f99e45f3/raw/0e650b38fde684c4ac534b254099d6d5543375f1/ARM%2520(Raspberry%2520PI)%2520Docker%2520Install" | sudo sh && sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
You will probably notice that kind of error log:
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Tuner Service: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Tuner Service: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
/usr/lib/plexmediaserver/Plex Tuner Service: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
This is a known issue for Plex Tune Service ONLY. This service is not required by Plex Media Server to work properly. I have no intention to fix this log. If you REALLY NEED Plex Tuner Service to work, please open an issue, or (better desired option), make a Pull Request to implement this feature.
Plex for Raspberry PI cannot read some video file format like AVI, WMV or OGM, either due to codec or due to RPI lack of power. You can convert them to make them compatible by using my docker image jaymoulin/rpi-plex-video-converter : https://github.com/jaymoulin/docker-rpi-plex-video-converter
