Hello,
I have plex running on Ubuntu. Which ports do I need to open on the UFW to get plex working and get access to a windows cifs share?
I tried already port 80,32400, 445, 443, 137, 389 and 139.
When I turn ufw off plex is working perfect, but I'd like some extra protection.
Can you help me.
Hello.
Here is my ufw configuration at the moment. Please note that there is a lot more services running on this server than just plex.

You can make a app profile for PMS by putting this file in /etc/ufw/applications.d/
Then
ufw allow PlexMediaServer
ufw allow Samba
[PlexMediaServer] title=Plex Media Server description=This opens up PlexMediaServer for http (32400), upnp, and autodiscovery. ports=32469/tcp,32413/udp,1900/udp,32400/tcp,32412/udp,32410/udp,32414/udp
Thanks, that helped me as well. One note: on my system the syntax was slightly different:
[PlexMediaServer] title=Plex Media Server description=This opens up PlexMediaServer for http (32400), upnp, and autodiscovery. ports=32469/tcp|32413/udp|1900/udp|32400/tcp|32412/udp|32410/udp|32414/udp

This worked for me on Ubuntu 15.10, thanks
Added the above snippet to a new file called “plexmediaserver” in /etc/ufw/applications.d/ then did “sudo ufw allow plexmediaserver” and it all seems to be working.
Request for clarification please.
Ubuntu 16 syntax
Ubuntu 17 syntax
If the syntax is different based on desktop environment (for the GUI), please share?
Thanks.

I had to create the profile file using this syntax as well. Then Plex worked fine when ufw was enabled on the server. Thanks everyone.
This worked for me on Ubuntu 18.04 server. Thanks!
