Installing on Debian Ubuntu

#Debian/Ubuntu

To configure PlexRequests to run on debian/ubuntu and set it to start up with the system, do the following (via terminal):

####Create a location to drop the files (up to you, we'll use /opt/PlexRequests as an example)

sudo mkdir /opt/PlexRequests

####Download the release zip

sudo wget {release zip file url}
sudo unzip PlexRequests.zip -d /opt/PlexRequests

####Install Mono (must be on v4.x or above for compatibility)

sudo apt-get install mono-devel

####Check your Mono version

sudo mono --version

if you don't see v4.x or above, uninstall it, and check here for instructions: http://www.mono-project.com/docs/getting-started/install/linux/

####Verify Mono properly runs PlexRequests

sudo /usr/bin/mono /opt/PlexRequests/Release/PlexRequests.exe

####The following instructions will be slightly different depending on the version/flavor of linux that you are currently running. The first group is for upstart, the second group is for systemd.

Upstart Instructions

#####Create an upstart script to auto-start PlexRequests with your system (using port 80 in this example)

sudo nano /etc/init/plexrequests.conf

#####Paste in the following:

start on runlevel [2345]
stop on runlevel [016]

respawn
expect fork

pre-start script
    # echo ""
end script

script
    exec /usr/bin/mono /opt/PlexRequests/Release/PlexRequests.exe -p 80
end script

####Systemd instructions

#####Create a systemd script to auto-start PlexRequests with your system (using port 80 in this example)

sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/plexrequests.service

#####Paste in the following

Description=Systemd script to run PlexRequests as a service
After=network-online.target
[Service]
User=root
Group=root
Type=simple
Environment=statedir=/opt/PlexRequests/Release
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mono ${statedir}/PlexRequests.exe -p 80

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

#####Next, reload the daemon and enable the service:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload

sudo systemctl enable plexrequests.service

####Reboot, then open up your browser to check that it's running!

sudo shutdown -r 00
