Help moving to new plex server

Well don’t I feel like a TOTAL noob! :rofl: :man_facepalming:

Removed the auto-setup CD and done.

Centos 8, PMS 1.19.1 – waiting for it to finish loading up before testing.

Transcoding good. Working.

NICE :slight_smile: cent works!

Where does one do this? When you say settings/network? Is that on the CENT side or the Plex side or the client side?

Not sure this will work I cannot sign in to a local browser the reason why is this is a NO GUI install. Ill take a look at those other links but might be easier for me to just try putting in a 172.16.1.x range and see if that works.

  1. Enable SSH on Centos so you can sign in
  2. From another host
ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400  ip.addr.of.Centos8
sign in
let sit idle
  1. Back on the ssh-originating machine -
http://127.0.0.1:8888/web

(route the web browser request through the tunnel. Let the local machine’s graphics head do the display work. Remember, PMS has a web server as its front end)

Understood! however getting connection refused on the terminal … likely b/c of some policy. Let me find another machine- windows appears to have a different ssh password than the password used to login and on the main account.

Get PUTTY for windows.
It will also let you ssh tunnel through it.

You don’t need the Centos admin account.

Also, remember you can change the login user (the -l option)

[chuck@lizum ~/Downloads.269]$ ssh -l admin -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400 192.168.0.21
admin@192.168.0.21's password: 

Going to try and get the putty to work :slight_smile: brb …

Think I got it with putty here is the settings
screen1 screen2

HOWEVER I still get the same result no libraries etc.
Is something wrong with my config on putty side ?

Here’s the document I share.

Also:

  1. Sign out of your Plex/web session (upper right). It’s going hunting first.
  2. Open an incognito window to use with http://127.0.0.1:8888/web (make it start cold)

HA I used the same article ! :slight_smile: Ill try the incognito window now …

WOW this is new…

I half expected it at this point but hoped we might be spared.
Operations had some issues today.

  1. Stop Plex.
  2. Delete Preferences.xml
  3. Start Plex
  4. Now hit it

OK here is the result looks same as if I login from 172.16.0.x

You’re still logged in. Did you log out?
It looks like it’s going to app.plex.tv and not the host IP directly, which it will do if you’re signed in.

OH no it prompted me and I logged in was I not supposed to ?

Shouldnt I see on the left side local media services or sources? or at least an add button?
