                Set up a Plex server on a headless Ubuntu 16.04 server
              
          
    Ubuntu Plex Server (headless)

This gist walks through how to configure Plex Media Server on an Ubuntu 16.04 Server headless install. Through the rest of this tutorial, the server will be referred to as SERVER.
Assumptions


The SERVER is configured with SSH access, either via local credentials, ssh-keypair or some other federated identity
The SERVER is connected to the same LAN as all required data sources (if your storage is not on the same box, e.g. NAS)

Configure static IP address, netmask, gateway and dns-nameservers

You don't want the IP address of this SERVER (or any server) to change. Since it will be accessed only via internal IP address you can set that here.
NOTE: If you change the CIDR block on your network you will need to update the static IP address of the SERVER here or switch the static method to dhcp and remove the address line. If you forget to do this the SERVER may be inaccessible.
