Setup

Using ocamlfuse as mount with rclone decrypting locally with gdrive :

1. Edit /etc/fuse.conf & uncomment user_allow_other.

2. Enable root with (optional):

sudo passwd root
(write password for root)
sudo passwd -u root

3. Install UFW firewall

apt‐get install ufw
sudo ufw default deny incoming
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
ufw allow X ( X being your SSH port)
ufw allow 32400
ufw allow 8181
ufw enable

4. Install rclone

curl -O https://downloads.rclone.org/rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
apt install unzip
unzip rclone-current-linux-amd64.zip
cd rclone-*-linux-amd64

sudo cp rclone /usr/sbin/
sudo chown root:root /usr/bin/rclone
sudo chmod 755 /usr/bin/rclone

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/share/man/man1
sudo cp rclone.1 /usr/local/share/man/man1/
sudo mandb

5. Install ocamlfuse

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alessandro-strada/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-drive-ocamlfuse

6. Install plex

wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/1.5.5.3634-995f1dead/plexmediaserver_1.5.5.3634-995f1dead_amd64.deb

dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.5.5.3634-995f1dead_amd64.deb

7. Install plexpy as daemon

apt-get install python2.7
apt-get install git-core
cd /opt
git clone https://github.com/JonnyWong16/plexpy.git

Create file "plexpyservice.system" at /etc/systemd/system with :

[Unit]
Description=PlexPy - Stats for Plex Media Server usage

[Service]
ExecStart=/opt/plexpy/PlexPy.py --quiet --daemon --nolaunch --config /opt/plexpy/config.ini --datadir /opt/plexpy
GuessMainPID=no
Type=forking
User=plexpy
Group=nogroup

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Then run :

ln -s /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python
sudo adduser --system --no-create-home plexpy
sudo chown plexpy:nogroup -R /opt/plexpy
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable plexpy.service
systemctl start plexpy.service

8. To set up ocamlfuse

su plex
google-drive-ocamlfuse -headless -label me -id [redacted]apps.googleusercontent.com -secret [redacted]

9. Get the code and then go to /var/lib/plexmediaserver/.gdfuse/me and add your custom config file there with that code and your client id & secret & authorization code.

10. Create media folder and set up rclone to run as plex user

mkdir /var/lib/plexmediaserver/media/
cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver/
mkdir .config
mkdir .config/rclone
cd /var/lib/plexmediaserver/.config/rclone
touch rclone.conf
mkdir /var/lib/plexmediaserver/mount/

11. Edit your rclone.conf file to reflect the one you already have but you'll edit this :

[crypt]
type = crypt
remote = /var/lib/plexmediaserver/mount ## or mount/path/
filename_encryption = standard
password = xxxxx
password2 = xxxxx

12. Mount with ocamlfuse

su plex
google-drive-ocamlfuse -label me /var/lib/plexmediaserver/mount/

rclone mount crypt: /var/lib/plexmediaserver/media/ --read-only --allow-other --max-read-ahead 1024k --buffer-size 512M --log-level DEBUG --log-file=/var/lib/plexmediaserver/mount.log &

13. Edit /etc/rc.local to mount the drive and start plex

service plexmediaserver stop

sleep 1s

sudo -u plex google-drive-ocamlfuse -label me /var/lib/plexmediaserver/mount/

sleep 2s

sudo -u plex rclone mount crypt: /var/lib/plexmediaserver/media/ --read-only --allow-non-empty --allow-other --max-read-ahead 1024k --buffer-size 900M --log-level INFO --log-file=/var/lib/plexmediaserver/mount.log &

sleep 7s

service plexmediaserver start
