Server:macOS
To install on macOS you will likely need to install the Homebrew package to install some dependancies (macOS uses outdated versions of some applications).
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install bash gnu-sed node jq [email protected]
brew services start [email protected]
npm i -g mediabutler-server pm2
PLEX_URL=http://127.0.0.1:32400/ DB_URL=mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/mediabutler pm2 start mediabutler
You should now be able to access http://127.0.0.1:9876/ and be greeted with a "Hello World!" message. This completes the installation of MediaButler Server
After the initial installation of MediaButler above, you will notice that we had to supply a PLEX_URL and DB_URL as part of the initial startup process. You should not need to set this again afterwards. You should be able to control starting and stopping of the MediaButler server with the pm2 package.
pm2 stop mediabutler
pm2 restart mediabutler
pm2 start mediabutler
We would also recommend reading the documentation of pm2 for further support with starting and stopping
Updating MediaButler is quite simple, you just run the npm installation again and tell the server to restart.
npm i -g mediabutler-server@latest
pm2 restart mediabutler
