Plex Media Server
I use Plex Media Server as my personal, local/cloud music library. I have a lifetime Plex Pass, which gives me access to all Plexamp features, including setting it up as a headless player on my Pi.
This post is a part of my Homelab Series. See the index here.
Plex Media Server
First, install a dependency:
sudo apt-get install apt-transport-https
Add PMS repositories to apt
directory:
curl https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/plex-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/plex-archive-keyring.gpg] https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public main | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
sudo apt-get update
And install!
sudo apt install plexmediaserver
Plex Media Server is available:

Headless Plexamp
This allows the Pi to act as a Plex player when connected to MiniDSP SHD and my speakers. I found the full installation instructions here.
Get the installer:
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/tgp-2/65e6f2f637bc81df2c9fd9ba33f73bc6/raw/e7e9e47046c29a6090042a9a0a868a5bf7cf48be/plexamp-install.sh
Run it:
bash ./plexamp-install.sh
After the installation has been completed, reboot and Plexamp should start automatically.
sudo reboot
Open Plexamp and configure it:
