Tautulli on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Tech Plex Ubuntu

Here’s a no-nonsese install guide for installing PlexPy Tautulli on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. I’m assuming you’re root (sudo up!)

#!/bin/bash
# Install git
apt-get install git-core

# Change directory to /opt/ the default location for Tautulli 
cd /opt/

# Clone Tautulli to /opt/Tautulli
git clone https://github.com/Tautulli/Tautulli.git

# Create a service account for Tautulli
adduser --system --no-create-home tautulli

# Change permissions on the folder for the new service account
chown tautulli:nogroup -R /opt/Tautulli

# Set permissions on the Tautulli service file
chmod +x /opt/Tautulli/init-scripts/init.ubuntu

# Link the Tautulli service file to the init (startup/services) folder
ln -s /opt/Tautulli/init-scripts/init.ubuntu /etc/init.d/tautulli

# Update the startup/services
update-rc.d tautulli defaults

# Start PlexPy
service tautulli start

Now Tautulli should be running in the background and will start at bootup. Just head over to http://localhost:8181 and configure it to your liking.
