Would it be possible to run plexdrive without 'sudo' privileges? #248

Hi guys,

I use a seedbox (Debian) with PLEX Media Server installed but I don't have 'sudo' permissions. For some time I have been constantly banning the Google Drive account mounted on the seedbox with rclone because of the high number of connections rclone makes. I think the best option is plexdrive to avoid banning and I would like to install/run in my seedbox.

Would it be possible to install it without 'sudo' privileges?.

Thank you very much.

Best regards, Wardiam

Root access is not required to install or use Plexdrive as it comes in a precompiled binary. Root would be required to enable FUSE, which is required by Plexdrive, so you would have to ask your provider about doing so if it isn't already available.

FUSE is enable in my seedbox to use rclone. I don't know if it's possible currently to use Plexdrive 5 but Plexdrive 4 could not to install because mongoDB installation required root permission.

Then you're good to go.

But the database BoltDB?

chancemon commented 7 years ago

Built into Plexdrive, isn't it?

Would I need to install BoltDB database as mongoDB?
