First: Sorry for my bad english.
I wanted to install the Plex media server on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04. It is the server version without GUI.
What have I done:
wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/1.5.6.3790-4613ce077/plexmediaserver_1.5.6.3790-4613ce077_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.5.6.3790-4613ce077_amd64.deb
sudo reboot
sudo mkdir /var/lib/plexmediaserver
sudo chown -R plex:plex /var/lib/plexmediaserver
sudo systemctl enable plexmediaserver.service
sudo systemctl start plexmediaserver.service
Then I had to realize that Plex does not start, which I found as followed:
root@plex:/# sudo netstat -tulpn
