Plex Media Server

Server Version#: 1.31.3.6868-28fc46b27

Hi!
My plex server is installed on Ubuntu server via adding the repository and package plexmediaserver. I access it via http://remoteip:32400
I am going to Settings - Server - General and click Sign out.
Now I don’t have a servers in web interface and can’t find any options to add it.
I tried to purge package and reinstall it again. But when I access it via web and login with my plex account, I don’t see any setup wizards, just interface without servers.
How can I add a server?

You need to re-claim the server and cannot do that remotely via the web. Do you have SSH or remote desktop access?

I have ssh. It is server without GUI

Solved by port forwarding via ssh. Looks like it will show local server only if you connected to web interface via 127.0.0.1.
Do it like:
ssh -L 32401:127.0.0.1:32400 my.server.address
And then open http://127.0.0.1:32401

To add here:

We recommend using port 8888 ( -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400) because the local server uses ports 32400 - 32412 & 32469

Any port known not to conflict with other services can be used.
