Link 2 different linux server on 1 account

Is it possible to install 2 different linux Virtual Server for Plex which link on 1 account?
I had install Plex Media Server on my new virtual server, when come to setup,
after I login to my current Plex user, it just came out my old remote plex server without go to setup new server page. How to fix this? Thanks

Yes, you can have multiple servers linked to the same Plex account.

Is your new server in a remote location? Initial configuration must be performed “locally,” so if it is remote, you’ll need to take some extra steps to create an SSH tunnel to it. The process is described in the “On a Different Network” section of this support document:

In short, you can establish an SSH tunnel to proxy the connection to Plex using something like:
ssh user@remote_ip -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400

And then access the server via http://127.0.0.1:8888/web to configure it. After performing the initial configuration and claiming the server, you can access it normally.

If the server isn’t remote, can you provide some additional detail about your network configuration?

To add to @pshanew

I currently have:

  1. QNAP - production - TVS-1282T-i7 (main PMS)
  2. DockerPMS - production - NUC8i7-HVK
  3. Debian - test VM - VMware
  4. Ubuntu - test VM - Vmware
  5. Centos - test VM - Vmware
  6. Fedora - test - bare machine
  7. Synology - developmet DSM 7 - base machine
  8. QNAP - test - bare machine
  9. Thecus - test - bare machine

Works like a champ.

The trick is claiming them.
Once you understand how Plex/web works (which isn’t really intuitive), it works very well.
