Plexpy: How do I install plexpy on my synology nas?
If you look at SynoCommunity, they have a package. At last look, it require you to also install Python.
It’s probably a matter of preference but you can install it easily through the Synology docker app as well.
would you mind giving me some guidance/steps I can follow to complete this process since I am new to synology?
Synology has some different naming conventions. but this is what works for Asustor. Should work the same (with minor changes) on your NAS: https://forum.asustor.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=7704&hilit=PlexPy
You shouldn’t need an account to view the post. I’m the author of it, so you can reply here or there with any issues. I’ll see it… Remember, I run Asustor hardware, so if your issues are linked to the Synology environment, I won’t be able to help much…
I found using docker easier than the synology way.
I had never used Docker and managed to get 4 instances running for 4 different servers.
But not all Synolgy NAS allow Docker to be installed.
Here is how I did it. It took under 5 minutes:
- Setup in docker, matching port 8181 for host port 8181
- Mount the Plex share as
/Plex(no idea if this is even necessary) - Started the container
- Opened
http://NAS:8181and followed the first-run wizard.
