Plex Media Server on CentOS 8

Server Version#:v1.18.2.2058-e67a4e892
Player Version#:

Hi Plex,

I’m setting up a new server that’s hosted remotely. I opened all the ports on the firewall/nat and I’m able to login to the local web player at www.mydomain.com:32400 or myipaddtress:32400. But when I login it looks just like the free web player on the plex website. I can’t see any options for sharing media or admin of the server (even though it’s running on my server?).

I’m not sure how it can run on my server, but only give me the option to download a server without recognizing it’s on the server?

I’m attaching my log file. Thank you for any help :).

Since it’s remote, did you SSH-tunnel to it first and perform first-run setup which attaches it to your Plex account?

  1. ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400 ip.addr.of.remote
  2. Sign in and let sit idle
  3. Local browser: http://127.0.0.1:8888/web

Hi Chuck,

Wow thank you! Yes that did it. I didn’t see that in the docs?

I see my server in the settings, but it says it’s not available outside my network. Do I need to manually set the port? It’s open on my firewall, but it looks like it’s pointing to port 0 (?). Can I set the port to whatever I want (5555) and use port forwarding to redirect it to 32400?

Thank you,

It’s under Basic Installation, section On a Different network (which remote clearly classifies as)

Glad it worked.

I don’t normally set a port… Let PMS do its thing.

If you want to manually set 32400, that’s ok too.
