Plex Media Server is a powerful multimedia streaming platform. I run the server on my own Ubuntu Server at home. I have found the best way to install the software is via the repo. If not installed via repo, server updates must be installed manually. Here is how to install the server via the DEB repo on a Debian-based system.
- First, open a terminal, then you must add the official repository to your apt sources list.
echo deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list- Second, import the official repo key.
curl https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key | sudo apt-key add -
- Last, update your available packages and install the server.
sudo apt update && sudo apt install plexmediaserverSource material: Enable repository updating for supported Linux server distributions | Plex Support
