-[Plex](https://www.plex.tv/) is a feature-rich media library platform that allows you to organize and stream your digital video and audio from virtually anywhere. This guide will show you how to set up the **Plex Media Server** on your Linode running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, as well as how to connect to your media server from a Plex [client](https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/categories/200006953-Plex-Apps) application. A Plex media server could benefit from large amounts of disk space, so consider using our [Block Storage](/docs/platform/how-to-use-block-storage-with-your-linode) service with this setup.
