Plex Server on Raspberry Pi

Install Docker and Docker-Compose

1. SSH to Raspberry Pi

ssh pi@raspberry.local

2. Configure localization

sudo raspi-config

3. Update and upgrade the OS

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade -y

4. Download and install Docker

curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com | sh

5. Add user to the docker group

sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}

6. Check if the user was added on the docker group

groups ${USER}

7. Start Docker at startup

sudo systemctl enable docker

8. Reboot

sudo reboot

9. Install Docker-Compose

sudo apt-get install libffi-dev libssl-dev
sudo apt install python3-dev
sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip

sudo pip3 install docker-compose

10. Check if Docker works

docker run hello-world

Mount disk

Mounting manually

1. Connect the drive

2. Create the directory where to mount the disk on /mnt/. For example AlanDoozTV

sudo mkdir /mnt/AlanDoozTV

3. Find the name of the external disk, for example /dev/sda2

sudo fdisk -l

4. Mount drive to folder previously created

sudo mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/AlanDoozTV

5. Verify it was successfully mounted by listing the content of the drive

ls /mnt/AlanDoozTV

6. To unmount the storage device

sudo umount /mnt/AlanDoozTV

Mounting automatically

1. Find the UUID of the disk partition

sudo blkid

2. Modify the fstab file to define where storage devices will be automatically mounted when the Raspberry Pi boots

sudo nano /etc/fstab

3. Add the following line, replacing the UUID value with the one from your drive (example 42B3-CF79), mount location (example /mnt/AlanDoozTV) and file system type (example exfat)

UUID=42B3-CF79 /mnt/AlanDoozTV exfat defaults,auto,users,rw,nofail 0 0

4. Mount the first time

sudo mount -a

Installing Homebridge, Samba and Plex with Docker-Compose

First steps

1. Creating neccesary folder structure

mkdir -p /homebridge /plex/config

2. Creating a docker-compose.yml file with the following content

version: "2"

services:

  homebridge:
    image: oznu/homebridge:latest
    container_name: homebridge
    restart: always
    network_mode: host
