# Terraform module for Plex Media Server on AWS using Spot Instances and S3 for Media Storage
## Plex Claim Token
Get Plex Claim Token: https://www.plex.tv/claim
The Claim Token is only good for a few minutes, so it is easiest to not set this variable and let Terraform prompt you for it.
## After your server is done spinning up
### If the plex app cannot connect to your server
* Go to http://{ip}:32400/web
* Settings -> Remote Access -> Enable Remote Access
* Check Specify Port (leave the port the same) and retry### Create Libraries
* Go to Manage -> Libraries
* Create libraries seleting folders within the /plex-data folder### Minimize EBS and S3 API Requests to Reduce Cost
To avoid scanning of the files in the S3 bucket (meaning additional S3 api requests and additional EBS i/o requests -> additional cost)
* Don't set Plex to periodically scan library
* Turn off scheduled tasks that will scan the library - I leave on the following
* Backup database every three days
* Optimize database every week
* Remove old bundles every week
* Remove old cache files every week
* Upgrade media analysis during maintenance## Requirements
