# Plex Deployment (VPS Reverse Proxy)
|
|
|
|
Plex Media Server deployed with host networking on the home server, exposed through VPS reverse proxy.
|
|
|
|
## Context
|
|
|
|
Plex uses host networking for device discovery (DLNA, GDM). It listens on port 32400 directly on the host. No Docker port mapping needed — just proxy through home nginx → VPS.
|
|
|
|
## Home Nginx Config
|
|
|
|
Key differences from standard service config:
|
|
- `client_max_body_size 0` — no upload limit for large media
|
|
- `proxy_request_buffering off` — stream requests without buffering (needed for media playback)
|
|
- Long read timeout for streaming
|
|
|
|
```nginx
|
|
server {
|
|
listen 3447 ssl;
|
|
server_name grajmedia.duckdns.org plex.graj-media.com;
|
|
|
|
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/grajmedia.duckdns.org/fullchain.pem;
|
|
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/grajmedia.duckdns.org/privkey.pem;
|
|
ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
|
|
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5;
|
|
|
|
client_max_body_size 0;
|
|
proxy_request_buffering off;
|
|
|
|
location / {
|
|
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:32400;
|
|
proxy_http_version 1.1;
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $host;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
|
|
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
|
|
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
|
|
proxy_read_timeout 86400;
|
|
proxy_buffering off;
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## VPS Nginx Config
|
|
|
|
Standard HTTPS proxy to home:3447. Same as other services but with matching `client_max_body_size 0` and `proxy_request_buffering off`.
|
|
|
|
```nginx
|
|
server {
|
|
server_name plex.graj-media.com;
|
|
|
|
client_max_body_size 0;
|
|
proxy_request_buffering off;
|
|
|
|
location / {
|
|
proxy_pass https://100.93.253.36:3447;
|
|
proxy_http_version 1.1;
|
|
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
|
|
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
|
|
proxy_set_header Host $host;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
|
|
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
|
|
proxy_ssl_verify off;
|
|
proxy_read_timeout 86400;
|
|
proxy_buffering off;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
listen 443 ssl;
|
|
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/graj-media.com/fullchain.pem;
|
|
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/graj-media.com/privkey.pem;
|
|
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf;
|
|
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem;
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## SSL
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
certbot --nginx -d plex.graj-media.com --non-interactive --agree-tos --email admin@grajmedia.duckdns.org
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Pitfalls
|
|
|
|
- **Plex sign-in returns 401** — normal. Plex requires browser-based auth via their sign-in flow. `curl` will always get 401.
|
|
- **No container restart needed** — Plex runs as a systemd service with host networking, not a Docker container. The proxy configs don't touch Plex itself.
|
|
- **Port conflict check** — before picking the home nginx SSL port (3447), verify it's unused: `sudo ss -tlnp | grep :3447`
