So obfuscate that after you dump the commands out. This will help if you have to go back after saying "wtf did I run a couple of months ago when I got this server setup and working?" If you passed credentials into the commands when you entered them, it will print them as plain text. This will dump every command you entered on that machine and save it as a txt file. $ history > /home/yourUsername/history.txt One helpful tip I learned very early on in my journey: It kinda sucked to manage the configs and rebuild from scratch if needed because it was a complicated system for a newbie like I was at the time. I know as I started, I did the same thing stuck all my eggs in one basket (plex, deluge, pihole, smb share), and when something went wrong, all services were down. But its something to think about if that's the way you think you will end up going. And go out and replicate an enterprise network with a multi node infrastructure with high availability and disaster recovery. Just food for thought, I'm not saying, don't continue down your path. One more consideration is of you need to preform server maintenance like swapping a drive or adding ram, you can move vms off the one that needs to go down and still have that service be availible while you take the server offline. One has an ssd use this for plex and what ever needs faster io reads/writes.
Ie one node has a normal hdd uses are storing backups/files that arent touched weekly. Starting off with a nuc is awesome, but soon, you will have a couple of them and would want to be able to cluster them so you can spread out your services across devices.
#Plex media server download ubuntu install
You can just use a hypervisor like proxmox and make that machine serve up multiple vms.ĭoing a plex install on linux will end up sucking you into the world of r/homelab if you let it. Do you really want a nuc for plex, a nuc for pihole, a nuc for whatever else you might want to spin up. Like, if you have at least 8gb of ram, you don't need to worry about your desktop environment hogging resources.Īnother thing is, think about your infrastructure. Xfce is lightweight and can still look pretty but requires more tweaking to make it like a modern desktop environment. Some things to note about desktop environments gnome is ram heavy. Just not enough to matter in your use case. Is the assumptions I’ve made correct? And is it a correct way to do it? Is it doable? I am most scared of step 3 sens I have zero experience, should I do it in this way or is it better to do it in an other way? Setup sonarr with radarr to download to the folders on the Plex.ĭisable the gui on the NUC and let it run in server mode to save the horsepower to transcode ? (and to enable SSH). And will Plex be able to play the movies from the NAS? I should then in theory direct the downloads directly to the Plex folder on the NAS.
Setup NAS disk as folder on the NUC (with Synology drive client for Ubuntu). My goal with the setup is to have a download station with sonarr and radarr and to transcode my to multiple users.Ģ.
(It seams to be easier to get the Plex data files from my Synology NAS then to be in the terminal). I’ve installed Ubuntu desktop and plan to disable the gui once everything is up and running. I have never used Ubuntu before but am excited to learn it and it doesn’t seam that scary once you start.
