Chris,
How is it installed? Docker, Snap, or native host installation?

If Native Host or Snap, you can get to it (we’ll reset it so you can get to it and associate it with your account)

  1. Stop Plex (systemctl stop plexmediaserver)
  2. sudo rm "/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Preferences.xml"
  3. Log out of the web app (Upper right corner)
  4. Start plex (systemctl start plexmediaserver)
  5. Open an incognito window in your browser
  6. Depending on where the server is, we use:
    a. on the host your running the web browser (resident) http://127.0.0.1:32400/web
    b. on a host on your LAN (same subnet) http://ip.addr.of.host:32400/web
    c. on a remote network: Remote tunnel:
  ssh -L 8888:127.0.0.1:32400 ip.addr.of.host     
  sign in and let sit idle
  (Local Web browser)  http://127.0.0.1:8888/web

Now complete your setup, which signs it into your account.
