In this article, you will learn how to install Plex on CentOS/RHEL 8 (64-bit) server.

Prerequisites

• RHEL or CentOS 8 Server.
• Root Access.
• A static IP address.

Step 1: Add Plex Repository

vi /etc/yum.repos.d/plex.repo

Add below lines in this file.

[Plex]
name=Plex
baseurl=https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/rpm/$basearch/
enabled=1
gpgkey=https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key
gpgcheck=1

Step 2: Installation on Plex media server

Use below command to install plex:

dnf install plexmediaserver -y

Now enable plex service on boot and start it.

systemctl enable plexmediaserver
systemctl start plexmediaserver

Step 3: Configure Firewalld for Plex

create new firewalld service configuration “plex.xml” for plex using below command.

vi /etc/firewalld/services/plex.xml

Now add below configuration in this file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<service>
<short>plex</short>
<description>Ports required by Plex.</description>
<port protocol="tcp" port="32400"></port>
<port protocol="tcp" port="32469"></port>
<port protocol="tcp" port="8324"></port>
<port protocol="tcp" port="3005"></port>
<port protocol="udp" port="32414"></port>
<port protocol="udp" port="32413"></port>
<port protocol="udp" port="32412"></port>
<port protocol="udp" port="32410"></port>
<port protocol="udp" port="1900"></port>
<port protocol="udp" port="5353"></port>
</service>

Save changes and exit.

So, add “plex” service in firewalld list and restart the firewall.

firewall-cmd --add-service=plex --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

Step 4: Access Plex Media Server

Then, you can access your Plex using below link and you will see welcome screen provided in the image below.

http://SERVER-IP:32400/web/

Now complete the registration and you will be redirected to your dashboard.

And that is it. So, enjoy it.

Airsonic is free software and licensed under the GNU General Public License version 3. The code in this repository(and associated binaries) are free of any “license key” or other restrictions.

Today you will learn that how to setup your own streaming server using Airsonic Media Server.

Install OpenJDK

dnf install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel -y

Now create a user and directories for airsonic and assign ownership to airsonic user on created directory.

useradd airsonic
mkdir /var/airsonic
mkdir /var/media_files
chown airsonic /var/airsonic
chown airsonic /var/media_files

Now download Airsonic .war package using wget command in /var/airsonic folder.

wget https://github.com/airsonic/airsonic/releases/download/v10.2.1/airsonic.war --output-document=/var/airsonic/airsonic.war

Now Allow airsonic to run on system boot using below commands

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airsonic/airsonic/master/contrib/airsonic.service -O /etc/systemd/system/airsonic.service
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airsonic/airsonic/master/contrib/airsonic-systemd-env -O /etc/sysconfig/airsonic
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start airsonic.service
systemctl enable airsonic.service

Note: You must restart airsonic by running below command every time, whenever you make any changes in airsonic file so new changes can apply.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/airsonic/airsonic/master/contrib/airsonic-systemd-env -O /etc/sysconfig/airsonic
systemctl restart airsonic.service

Configure firewall

By default Airsonic uses port 8080 so we have to enable it in firewall using below commands:

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=8080/tcp
firewall-cmd --reload

You can review and modify any startup settings in /etc/sysconfig/airsonic.

Access Airsonic admin panel

username: admin
password: admin

URL:

http://YOUR-SERVER-IP:8080/airsonic
OR
http://YOUR-DOMAIN:8080/airsonic

MY URL is http://192.168.130.152:8080/airsonic

After login you will be asked to setup airsonic for media files.
