![]() Note: Accessing the web app w/ the SSH tunnel step in the guide was very slow for me. Because as far as Plex is concerned, you're now accessing the web app through localhost. Basically you're tunneling your local computer to the remote server's localhost address when accessing the web app, and thus making Plex happy. Ctrl-F search the guide I linked for 'SSH tunnel' to find that step that I'm talking about. The reason it works is because of a crucial step in that guide that involves using an SSH tunnel in order to circumvent the problem where Plex apparently will only allow localhost connections in order to access the web app properly. Then I ended up uninstalling plex on my server (I used this link for that, including doing the last commands they mentioned) and then following this guide and it worked! The plex web app was able to identify my server. So I was stuck (or so I thought, as you'll see below). ![]() Unfortunately, I obviously couldn't just replace the IP address w/ localhost because my plex server was remote. It turns out that this was the issue all along for me as well. ![]() And I found a solution.Īs noted by the original poster here in their comment reply, using localhost instead of the IP address worked for them. And I got the same problem as the original poster. Hey so my problem was that I wanted to setup Plex on a remote dedicated Ubuntu server (the OS version is 18.04 LTS). ![]()
