Installer is incompatible with Ansible #265

Closed jamesb2147 closed 3 years ago

Makes it much easier to deploy for those of us managing server farms with it. Right now, the combination of "don't run as root" while interactively requesting root permissions makes the installer incompatible with Ansible.

Since the installer runs in interactive mode anyway, I don’t think that would help much anyway. :)

The installer basically just does a git clone of the repo, followed by writing out the config file and optionally symlinking the cron script to /etc/cron.daily/plexupdate. So I’d suggest just automating the install directly rather than relying on the installer.
