plex-motd

Display current Plex sessions in Ubuntu MOTD output

Installation

• You will need Python 3.5 or later - it may (probably will) work with Python 3 or later, but I haven't tested it.

• Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt to install the required Python packages.

• Edit plex_server and plex_port in the .env file if they are different than the defaults.

• Replace YOUR_TOKEN_HERE with your X-Plex-Token string obtained from your server.

• Once you have edited the script and the .env file and confirmed it is working, copy them to /etc/update-motd.d/ with an appropriate name - (95-plex is recommended) by running

mv plex_motd.py 95-plex 
mv .env /etc/update-motd.d/
mv 95-plex /etc/update-motd.d/

• Make sure the file is executable and will show up on login by running

chmod +x 95-plex
