Scripts to automatically set up a Plex cloud server.

PlexCloud

Wishing you could still use Amazon's storage for Plex? Look no further! This repo will setup Plex in the Cloud automatically!

Why?

On December 15th, Plex announced they would no longer be supporting Amazon Cloud Drive due to technical limitations. This project aims to use different techniques to overcome those hurdles, as well as improving upon it by encrypting the data stored (Soon ™️).

Requirements

• DigitalOcean Account
• Ansible
• Terraform
• Terraform-Inventory

Setup

See here.

Running

$ ./do_it.sh

Directories

In order to operate smoothly, this system utilizes UnionFS to allow Plex to access both local files, and content found on Amazon CloudDrive.

Example:

/root/movies
├── /root/acd/movies
└── /root/local/movies

Transmission downloads files to /root/downloads. CouchPotato will move files into /root/local/movies, and a nightly cron job will upload them to Amazon CloudDrive, at which point they will be located in /root/acd/movies. In order for files to be available both pre- and post-upload, the folders are joint mounted using UnionFS at /root/movies.

Configuring

Sonarr

You'll want to add an indexer to Sonarr, so it can find content.

Couchpotato

Similar to Sonarr, you'll need to add a search provider so that Couchpotato can find content.
