How to install my plex server ?

First, start a vps! Wait a few minutes and let's go !
Update and install some dependencies :

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt install apt-transport-https curl wget -y
Import and create a new GPG key.
sudo wget -O- https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/plex.gpg
Import the repository and install PlexMediaServer
echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/plex.gpg] https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
sudo apt update && sudo apt install plexmediaserver -y
Then activate the plex system to ensure that it will work
sudo systemctl start plexmediaserver && sudo systemctl enable plexmediaserver && systemctl status plexmediaserver

Your program, plex, is now running on port 32400. You can then easily access your films and series that you have acquired legally or not. Finally, if you are looking for movies or series and you don't mind using torrents, you can check this website (yggtorrent.fi) to find torrents. If you don't know how it works, check it out, it's worth it! It's a way to share information in a decentralized way by being both the one who downloads the content and the one who redistributes it, it's great!
