according to the instructions on https://support.plex.tv/articles/235974187-enable-repository-updating-for-supported-linux-server-distributions/ I have added PMS to my sources: echo deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb ./public main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
after that I have run sudo apt-get update.
this results in the following: the packet source ‘https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb ./public Release’ has no Release-files
how can I install PMS on Debian ??
You don’t say what version of Debian you are running, but there have been problems with using this repo on certain versions and certain derivative distributions.
In the meantime, if you are running a version of Debian that is systemd based, you can use the Ubuntu version of PMS available in the Downloads area. Just install it by hand using dpkg.
You could also try using Mr. Worf’s plexupdate script:
sorry, I was running Stretch in a test enviroment, where I had PMS successfully installed.
this installation was updated to Buster and than I found that the update server is no longer available.
bringing back this installation back to Stretch does not change anything.
the thing is, https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb does no longer exist.
The repo most certainly does exist:

deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public main and ignore the warning for now.
any further news ??
currently the command “sudo apt-get update” takes more than 5 minutes, as it hangs very long at [Connected to downloads.plex.tv (104.18.156.41)]
there still is a problem with updating PMS under Linux Debian.
any idea when this could be solved ??
