Enabling remote access from the shell

PublishServerOnPlexOnlineKey="1" - enables "0" disables.

Edit: If you have no ssh access, am I correct your intent is to send it mail, have the host process the mail and perform the required tasks?

Note that if you have shell access on the server via some other means you might be able to do a reverse SSH tunnel out to yourself so on the server do

ssh -R 32400:localhost:32400 someuser@mycomputer.com

Then just load https://localhost:32400/web on your computer (aka mycomputer.com). However if you cannot get shell access via some means to the server then I would STRONGLY recommend reconsidering your access arrangements. There is simply no way to viably do remote administration of the server otherwise. At the worst case scenario I would have the server do a VPN tunnel to a machine under your control. Given you can do a VPN over https then you can make that work because something that is not able to make https connections to the outside world is worthless.

Exactly - a simple procmail script responding to an authenticated email that edits the .xml file and restarts plexmediaserver.

I made this change on raspberry pi, but trying to restart the service, Plex server could not start, I just restore original back and Plex was working back, any comment regarding

I have an ssh access (get my remote router to forward ssh port of the server to some other port number, thus I’ve easily established an ssh tunnel) but the browser can’t access the page on the server. So I cannot access the page where I can enable the remoe access again.

Using the standard PMS installation documentation:

  1. Scroll down to On a Different Network
  2. Whether installing or administrating, the level of control is the same.
  3. This procedure works in a variety of environments.
