CentOS8 aarch64 install

Plex Media Server
1

Hi all,

My server recently died so I purchased a RaspberryPi 4 and I have installed CentOS8 on it.
Is there a Plex Media Server release that will work on CentOS8 and aarch64?

I really hate Debian which is why I didn’t use RaspberryPi OS. I’ve even considered Docker but I don’t think the Pi is powerful enough to run the container. Either way, I’d rather not be running multiple layers.

If anyone knows if a compatible version will be released I’d be very grateful :slight_smile:

If you’re skilled enough, you could

  1. Unpack the DEB
  2. Drop the files in directly.

This would work because the binaries are the same but:

  1. You’d be responsible for the preinstall and postinstall script execution
  2. It would not be supportable.

Containers don’t really extract that much performance, and there’s no need to use Docker for them either. If you are using CentOS 8, you can run containers using podman, or even native systemd containers. There is no need to install any additional software, or run a daemon with root privileges.

So, if you can get an aarch64 container with Plex already installed in it, regardless of the operating system inside the container, you can use it pretty easily on your Pi4. I have Pi4s with 3-4 containers running on them and it’s pretty much the same as running the same software without any containers.
