        # 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
