Anyway to use sync feature on Fedora? I will need this for a trip to Canada. I don’t want to make a separate plex server just for this trip. Anyone have any ideas?
Fedora linux is fully supported.

All right how do I do this? Just download the server or something? Theirs no media player for fedora.
Fedora is where you run PMS (the server).
You sync to any of the Plex apps on your devices.
You are correct, there is no player for Fedora at this time. This is largely driven by Fedora being used as the PMS server platform and not an embedded/player platform.
As owner of your media, you can click ‘Download’ (under the ellipsis while hovering over the item) to bring it to your Fedora workstation.

All right i will try that and tell you if it works.
All right sorry for the late reply. I installed the .rpm Plex server application on fedora 27. once installed it didn’t give me a app shortcut. So I wasn’t able to find a away to set up a plexserver. I am running my main server on my Imac 5k. So i don’t know if it’s a network thing or something?
This is Linux, not windows.
To control it you must open your browser to http://127.0.0.1:32400/web When you open the browser, you will be greeted by the Sign-in and ‘Got It’ screens. At this point, you will be in the first-run setup wizard.
Yeah that didn’t work. I have nextcloud installed and it caused that IP address to become take. How do I change the ports or ip address of my plex server?
you can’t change the ports nor can you control the IP unless you put it in a VM.
If you don’t have access to your fedora host via the loopback, then nextcloud must be creating some type of encapsulation which can’t be supported as PMS must have the lookback address to run.
Alright I am going to uninstall nextcloud and see if that fixes it. I really only installed it for testing for my main rig. Let’s hope plex server will work now.
