Welcome to the GNUPlex wiki!

Basic command usage

• Install GNUPlex: sh <(curl -sL https://gnuplex.janie.page/install.sh)
• Update GNUPlex: gnuplex -upgrade

To use GNUPlex

Navigate to http://localhost:40000/ to access a local GNUPlex installation. Use the "Manage Library" panel to add local directories to your library and specify file extensions to exclude.

Deploying a persistent media server

To run GNUPlex persistently on a Linux computer:

1. Create a new desktop user gnuplex.
2. Set the gnuplex user to auto-login.
3. As the gnuplex user, run systemctl --user enable --now gnuplex after installing GNUPlex.
4. Install Caddy.
5. Update /etc/caddy/Caddyfile to be the following, adjusting http://gnu.plex as needed.

{
        admin off
}

http://gnu.plex {
        reverse_proxy localhost:40000
}

6. Run sudo systemctl restart caddy.

Now, if you have a local DNS entry gnu.plex that points to your media server, you can navigate to http://gnu.plex on your local network!
