Hey there! Plexy is my Laravel 5.1 side project that I began in order to get myself familiar with the framework. This ended up turning into my take on a traditional ticketing system modified for Plex. I currently use Plexy with my personal Plex server as a one stop shop for my friends and family to report any errors with content on the server as well as to request anything new to be added.
It’s at a point that I am happy with, however there is plenty of room for improvement. For example, I want to add filtering and sorting tickets next. I have no strict plans with the project besides to keep adding anything I can think of whenever I find pockets of time in my schedule. I’ve decided to share it with you all in case anyone wants to use it or contribute to it!
This looks pretty sweet, actually… Too bad it’s not in Python, which a huge number of people could use without such obscure dependencies. I think it could probably also use PushBullet as a notifier, too. I’m sure others have a few suggestions in that regard.
Requiring Vagrant and Homestead only means less people are going to be interested in trying this app, no matter how well written it may seem to be in a demo. Some devices can’t install either/or and thereby limit their ability to use the app, too. I would love to try it, but I’m not about to spend a couple hours getting something to not work. If it were in Python or Perl and could just be dropped right in, it might be different.
It’s really too bad, considering… :/. I liked what I saw via the demo.

Vagrant and Homestead are only required if you want to follow the setup directions that I’ve written on the Github page. In the end it is just PHP and can use a traditional web server with a MySQL database. The only real requirements Laravel has are as follows:
