For me its less than that on both Linux and windows. Unless things have changed when I ran windows it was a exe file you just double clicked on to set up. If you have the bamining schemes correct and the way Plex has you set it up is the same its qui k

victorz@lemmy.world 7 months agoDefinitely like a 15 minute setup on Linux 🤷♂️

Honestly I never had to do anything about naming schemes either. Just make a folder “movies” and one “series”, dump all the respective content in each of those and start the scan and start watching. “Borrowed” content from the internet just works, no problem. 🤷♂️
Should all be done within 15 minutes easy.

I was not talking about just installing the server itself, the whole planning, installing, organizing etc. being more than 15 mins

If you want a decent setup, I’d suggest Radarr (movies) and Sonarr (TV) and a torrent client to get started. Three packages, and they can all run in a docker-compose file.

I have a decent setup and I don’t use any of that. No need for that when I’m using discs as my sources vs downloads.

That’s not a decent setup; that’s an awesome setup! Just not as beginner-friendly IMO.

What are you planning and organizing? I just make a folder “series” and one “movies”, dump all the respective content in those, start the scan and start watching. 🤷♂️

I bought dedicated hardware and shucked a lot of drives to get all the storage I needed. I modded and old case to put this in, added a couple of blu ray drives for ripping my media. Also I needed to update music brainz because it had incorrect or non existent data.
I had an initial server that was quick and dirty and was great, but I needed it to handle all of my media and it does pretty well. Always can use more storage because I’m constantly buying media on discs.

Ah okay, I see. I have two drives adding up to 14 TB that I store everything on, in my main PC. (Looking to change this with a NAS or something.)
And eh… We have different ways of acquiring media, we could say. 🙂 Ave probably different storage needs due to that as well.
But yeah, it makes sense that it is more than 15 minutes if you include all that. But installing and setting up the storages in Plex and stuff, not a huge task, which is nice.
