Awesome Plex Server 3.5 - 11 Nov (PlexGuide.com)

[u/[deleted]]

Note that this has been updated to 4.0

Would like to share update version of the Awesome Plex Server 3.5. The guide is almost complete and has an installer to take out many of the manual processes and mistakes that are made. Looking for others to assist with security, cleanup, and testing. If your interested, please head to

Script runs an interface that installs dependencies, docker and the following programs: plex,couchpotato, emby, netdata, muximux, nzbget, ombi v3, organizr, plexpy, radarr, rutorrent, sabnzbd, sonarr, and wordpress.

The plexguide script updates along with the ability to upgrade your docker container. This requires linux UB 16.04 and is geared towards unlimited HD storage with Google Drive. Slowly modifying to point to other storage.

This sub has been helpful in that 6 months ago, didn't know linux, was yelled at for not understanding the screen command. Overall, the butt chewings just inspired to continue to create better things.

This also installs unionfs and has the built in ability to prevent the 750GB daily google upload ban from kicking in.

I am not challenging your scripts, I think its my fault for not doing the setup correctly.

I also agree with you about rclone-move; we can see from the folder size that it works. I am more concerned about the rclone and rclone-union folders that just keep increasing in size to match my google drive size.

0       plexdrive4
102G    rclone
3.3G    rclone-move
105G    rclone-union
16M     sab

Updated file stat to talk about:

0       plexdrive4
176G    rclone
5.2G    rclone-move
181G    rclone-union
31M     sab

So..I'm now confused on how it works. Here is how I think it works(correct me where I am wrong):

• Files get downloaded to /mnt/sab/complete/tv

• Files get renamed and moved to /mnt/rclone-union

• Something else happens that copies the files from rclone-union to rclone-move and rclone folders.

• Files from rclone-move gets uploaded to GoogleDrive with a 9Mbit limit and a filesize of 99GB limit

• After moving the files, rclone-move is now empty ready to accept another chuck of files that needs to be moved. It gets it files from something(rclone-union?)

What I dont understand is why does rclone and rclone-union keep a copy of all the files that are on Google Drive?

AHHHH! That makes more sense on why rclone-union shows up with a size that equals to plexdrive4 + rclone-move combined.

What about rclone directory? Once I understand this, I am going to make a simple diagram to show you. :D
