I’ve tried to follow a guide of moving a plex server that was originally on windows over to linux/ubuntu. However, it failed and still left me in the same problematic boat of not being authorized to setup the new server, and my old server being locked unless I re-claimed it.
So instead, I want to completely delete the windows server from my account, I don’t want a plex server on my account. I want to setup a new server on a linux machine, just like I would when I first was prompted to do so with windows.
How do I do this effectively and correctly. How do I completely delete the plex server from windows and my account, hopefully leading to a successful install on my linux machine. I’ve got a guide published in Plex’s FAQ section to uninstalling a plex server - but will that do what I want? Hope you can help.
I’m sorry but I’ve just deleted everything from the windows server and removed it from my account and still when I reload the Ubuntu server and make it go to setup it says “This server is not authorized.”
I’ve just re-read your guide for transferring from windows to linux as well as the Plex installation guide for linux (and uninstallation for windows).
I finally managed to ssh tunnel so I could setup my linux plex server through its localhost instead of its public IP and that fixed every situation I was having. I’m just following the rest of that guide you made for transferring between OS.
If I have any issues would you be able to reply back to me? So far, everything is looking great!
Hello! I’m very happy to say that everything is working better than I could’ve imagined, everything has been transferred to the linux machine as if it was still on windows.
