You can access you media either by using the web browser (the same address you used earlier) or Plex’s suite of apps. Now you are all set up and ready, but how do you access your media? Yes you can access through your browser but Plex has a presence in almost all platforms you can think of including Android Auto. This means that you can be traveling and still access your libraries at home, considering you have your Plex server running all the time. If you have a public IP assigned to your router by the ISP you can also enable Remote Access. You can create new users( only with Plex Pass), adjust the transcoding settings set scheduled library updates and more. Also relatively new to Linux, Cheers bud.You can head over to the settings and configure some of the settings. This works like a charm using an external usb drive.
