# Plex Media Server Installer with Drive Mount Setup
|
|
#
|
|
# A two-in-one setup script for building a Plex media server on Ubuntu or
|
|
# Linux Mint. It handles the two things you always need to do when setting
|
|
# up a new media server:
|
|
#
|
|
# Part A: Mount your media drive permanently (via /etc/fstab)
|
|
# - Shows available drives/partitions
|
|
# - Detects UUID for reliable mounting (doesn't break if device order changes)
|
|
# - Adds the mount to /etc/fstab so it survives reboots
|
|
#
|
|
# Part B: Install Plex Media Server
|
|
# - Installs from a .deb file you've downloaded to ~/Downloads/
|
|
# - Handles dependencies automatically
|
|
# - Enables the Plex service to start on boot
|
|
# - Opens port 32400 in the firewall (UFW)
|
|
#
|
|
# Prerequisites:
|
|
# - Ubuntu 20.04+ or Linux Mint 20+
|
|
# - An external or internal drive for media storage
|
|
# - Plex .deb file downloaded to ~/Downloads/
|
|
# (download from https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/)
|
|
# - Run with sudo: sudo ./plexint.sh
|
|
# ==============================================================================
|
|
|
|
set -e # Exit immediately if any command fails
|
|
|
|
# Root is required because this script modifies /etc/fstab (system mount
|
|
# config), installs packages with apt, and manages systemd services.

|
|
#
|
|
# We use lsblk to show available drives, then ask the user to pick one.
|
|
# The mount is configured via /etc/fstab using the drive's UUID (not the
|

# device path like /dev/sdb1) because device paths can change if you add
|
