Part 1: Getting Plex up and running and basic hardware layouts.They also don’t build an entire end to end possibility. There are some wonderful youtube videos and overall guides but each one only brings you so far. This covers everything from starting out to some advanced things like automatically downloading content to SSL certificated to changing router settings. This is meant to be a coherent guide to building your own Plex Media Server with content you can share with friends. This is intended for people who want to create a sharing server. If people are interested here is the outline I plan on writing and sharing every few days. I’ve learned so much over the past year that I thought I’d share as a multi-part Reddit post. A media server that gave a large plethora of content over an easy streaming service to friends? Sign me up! During COVID I really started to play around with Plex for my own sanity… and it turned out that a lot of my friends also needed it for theirs. Now of course I don’t condone anyone to do anything that is not legal. Plex is an amazing piece of software that lets anyone create their own mini-Netflix clone.
