puppet-plex

Overview

Installs the Plex Media Server for Linux.

Configuration

Currently this module is limited to installed a specific version of the server:

class { '::plex':
  app_version => '0.9.16.6.1993-5089475', # pin specific version
}

If left unset, app_version will be updated semi-frequently to the latest version offered by Plex. If this isn't something you'd like, please pin the version either using the syntax above, or by using Hiera.

A firewall is configured automatically using the puppetlabs/firewall module, you can disable this by setting manage_firewall_v4 and manage_firewall_v6 to true or false.

Requirements

One of the supported GNU/Linux distributions:

Ubuntu
Debian

PRs welcome for CentOS, Fedora, MacOS or FreeBSD.

Limitations

Plex don't make the software available as a proper APT repo, so we can't (easily) do things like check for the latest version - so we currently pin to specific versions.

The downloads of their package come direct from their website, if they change their download methodology or packaging approach, this could break in future.

Contributions

All contributions are welcome via Pull Requests including documentation fixes or compatibility fixes for supporting other distributions (or other operating systems).
