Comment on Sharing music collection easily?
Lifebandit666@feddit.uk 2 months agoImho easy mode is just throwing it on Plex and making sure your port is set up on your router for external access, then just sharing your music folder in Plex.
No need for a domain or anything

Plex should not be accessed externally using a port forward. Always use app.plex.tv as it prevents unauthenticated users from seeing the instance.

If I don’t port forward, my friends that I’ve shared with can’t see the instance

You do not need to port forward to share a Plex instance over the Internet. App.plex.tv manages the inbound connections automatically. All you need to do is manage invites to your friends. They log in with their email/password or with Google SSO to app.plex.tv and your content will be available over a secure connection with no port forwarding.

Good to know, I’ll turn it off when I get home from work, thanks
