This repo should be cloned to each server's /home/plex folder. The file naming convention [server]-[user to run as]-[script description].sh

It also assumes each box (SEED and PLEX) has a plex user in addition to root (hence the /home/plex references)

@reboot /home/plex/vpc/seed/root_rtorrent_start.sh

@reboot /home/plex/vpc/seed/root_route_setup.sh

There are a few manual steps upon reboot. RUTORRENT requires a few tweaks and unencrypting requires a password being entered (which is not programmed into any scripts)

• mount encfs reverse encryption folder as plex user (seed-plex-mountReverse.sh)
• Set the download folder for /home/plex/downloads
• Get automove working (see below)

• mount encfs and acd_cli as plex user (plex-plex-mount.sh)

Set the download folder, switch the automove configuration from copy to move again, and then reset apache2 (sudo services apache2 restart)

• Setting up a Seedbox using OpenVPN and PIA in Ubuntu 14.04.
• Had issue around DNS, which was resolved using the first link - had to hard code nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf (removed everything else). Third link has alternative openvpn.zip files. Had to also disable Auto-configure Networking in Linode Setup access to SSH (via second link).
• Setup ip table and routes, etc...
• Setup rtorrent (last links). Running rtorrent as a non-root user. Use auto tools to move files upon completion. Subscribe to RSS feed and auto download all files matching /.*/ filter.
• Completed folder has a reverse encfs directory on top of it. Every 20 minutes a crontab job kicks off. It makes sure everything is copied via rclone copy and then deletes the completed files.

Primary Folders:

• /home/plex/downloads (in progress downloads)
• /home/plex/completed (completed files are moved here to be copied to ACD)
• /home/plex/encrypted (encrypted mount of completed directory: readonly)

adduser plex usermod -aG sudo plex

git clone https://github.com/roarkry/vpc.git <Move .vimrc to home folder> <chmod 755 *.sh on seed folder and vpc folder> Update /vpc/seed/root_route_setup.sh to use correct IP address

sudo apt-get install openvpn <COPY VPN FILES to /etc/openvpn, SET LOGIN FILE, AND MAKE .SH FILES CHMOD 755> update /etc/default/openvpn to autostart USE <APPLY IP FILTER STUFF & SET TO RUN AT REBOOT VIA CRON JOB>

sudo reboot -0 if successful, IP address should be different (helper-getIp.sh) and ssh should still work

• sudo apt-get install rtorrent -y
• sudo apt-get install php php7.0-cli php7.0-json php7.0-curl php7.0-cgi php7.0-mbstring libapache2-mod-php libapache2-mod-scgi apache2 -y
• sudo apt-get install unrar unzip ffmpeg mediainfo -y
• cd /var/www/html
• sudo apt-get install git -y && sudo git clone https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent.git && sudo apt-get purge git -y
• sudo chown -R plex:www-data ruTorrent/ && sudo chmod -R 770 ruTorrent/
• sudo apt-get install screen -y
• setup .rtorrent.rc as plex user in home directory
• don't setup .rtorrent.session directory and configure in .rc files
• set download directory to ext3 volume and directory that is created by plex user
• Setup rclone with acd
• create symlink (ln -s) to external drive into home directory (for some reason only thing that seems to work for rTorrent being able to access the directory and write to it)

Amazon Cloud Drive is mounted on a Linode server running Ubuntu with Plex running on it. The mounted drive has an encrypted folder that is decrypted by a ENCFS mount, which provides a view into the unencrypted files (effectively unencrypting the files in realtime as they are read - so nothing unecrypted is actually stored on any server).

ACD_CLI sync is applied every hour via a cron job (crontab -u plex -e --> updateAmazon.sh). This should allow new files to automatically be picked up

PlexPy is also installed to provide metrics on Plex

Primary Folders:

• /home/plex/amazondrive (amazon cloud drive reference)
• /home/plex/plex (unecrypted contents from ACD plex directory)

• Example script: rename -n 's/Season (..) Episode (..)/- S$1E$2/g' *

• install plex, encfs, acd_cli
• create plex user
• configure acd_cli as plex user
• configure encfs to decrypt as plex user
• configure plex with ssh tunnel (enter user account, create libraries)
• install plexpy

The encfs configuration is stored in LASTPASS, DONT LOSE THIS (otherwise data cannot be recovered)
