====== Create an Oracle Account ======
  * First off create an Oracle Free Tier Account at https://www.oracle.com/ca-en/cloud/free/
  * Work your way through the sign up process until your account is active and you can sign in
  * I understand that sometimes it takes a bit (up to days) before your account has been provisioned
  * If it is taking to long you can try to reach out to Oracle Support to ask them to provision the account more quickly
  * Once your account has been provisioned log in

====== Set Up Oracle Networking ======
  * From your home page, select Virtual Cloud Networking
{{:450px-image1.png?400|}}

  * Select "Start VCN Wizard"
{{:450px-image2.png?400|}}

  * Select "Create VCN with Internet Connectivity" and "Start VCN Wizard"
 {{:450px-image3.png?400|}}

  * On the next page add a VCN Name (e.g. "vcn-network") leaving all other options the same
  * Click "Next" and then "Create"
{{:450px-image4.png?400|}}

  * Once created, click "View Virtual Cloud Network" at the bottom left
  * Select the "Public Subnet"
{{:450px-image5.png?400|}}

  * Select the "Default Security List"
{{:450px-image6.png?400|}}

  * Click Add Ingress Rules
  * Change "Source CIDR" to read 0.0.0.0/0
  * Change "Destination Port Range" to read 32400
{{:450px-image7.png?400|}}

  * Click "Add Ingress Rules" to save
  * Head to instances by clicking the top left three lines and selecting "Instances"
//The end result of these steps is that port 32400 is exposed for Plex//
====== Set Up Your Oracle Instance ======
  * On the left side of the screen select "Compartment" and your username if it is not already selected
  * Select "Create Instance"
  * Edit "Image and Shape"
{{:450px-image8.png?400|}}

  * Select "Change Shape"
  * Select "Ampere" and adjust the OCPU count to 4
{{:450px-image9.png?400|}}

  * Select "Change Image"
  * Select "Canonical Ubuntu"
{{:450px-image10.png?400|}}

  * Select "Save Private Key"
  * Email this Key file to yourself to safely store it - you will need this key file to log in!
{{:450px-image11.png?400|}}

  * Click "Create"
  * Your screen should reload and indicate that the image is being provisioned - "PROVISIONING"
  * Once it has been provisioned it will change from an Orange Box to a Green Box and will indicate "RUNNING"
  * Once it is running you can now log in to your server
====== Logging in to Your Server ======
  * Take note of the IP address listed under "Instance Access" - this is your public IP address to access your server
{{:450px-image14.png?400|}}

  * If you experience difficulties review this link for support from Oracle - https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Compute/Tasks/accessinginstance.htm
  * If you are Windows your easiest option is likely using OpenSSH - OpenSSH can be enabled through the Windows Optional Features dialoge - see this link for more details - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/openssh/openssh_install_firstuse?tabs=gui
{{:450px-image13.png?400|}}

  * Open the directory where you saved the ssh.key file to and follow the instructions described under "Accessing Instances" linked above
    * Rename the file from ssh-key-****-**-**.key to ssh.key for easy access
    * Right-click the file, select Properties, the Security tab, and Advanced at the bottom
    * Click Disable Inheritance, and Convert Inherited Permissions
    * Remove any Permissions listed that are not your User Account
    * Click OK
  * Open Windows Powershell
  * Navigate to the directory where you saved the ssh.key file
  * Enter this command replacing the asterisks with the public IP address of your server
<code>ssh -i ssh.key ubuntu@**********</code>

  * The server will let you know that the authenticity of the host cannot be verified, type "yes"
  * You should know be logged in to your remote server
====== Installing Required Software ======
  * Once you are logged in, enter a root prompt
<code>sudo su</code>
Next use an automated script to install all required software
  * The script will prompt twice - once for your Real Debrid API key available at https://real-debrid.com/apitoken and a second time for your Plex server claim token available at https://www.plex.tv/claim/ Note - Don't retrieve a Plex claim token until you are ready to use it as they only last for 4 minutes
<code>bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://gist.githubusercontent.com/godver3/d6465e0222381fec1a315d5369ac09fe/raw/bd136c25f22a45e6b83fee67770fadffb7e0d0cd/setup.sh)"</code>
  * The script will do the following
    * Update and Upgrade all software on the Server
    * Build and Install the custom rclone software to mount Real Debrid
    * Setup rclone with the necessary information to auto-mount the Real Debrid share each time the Server is powered on
    * Install Plex and Plex_Debrid
  * FYI the contents of the script can be found [[https://gist.githubusercontent.com/godver3/d6465e0222381fec1a315d5369ac09fe/raw/bd136c25f22a45e6b83fee67770fadffb7e0d0cd/setup.sh|Here]] - it can be helpful to review the script contents for learning
====== Accessing and Setting Up the Software ======
  * Once the script has run you can now access your software using the following
    * **Plex** - http://YOURPUBLICIP:32400
    * **Plex Debrid** - Plex Debrid can be reached through the SSH terminal by typing "sudo docker attach plex_debrid"
  * Steps needed to finish setting up Software
    * **Plex**
      * Log into your Plex Media Server and complete the initial set up
      * Add two Media Libraries - one for Movies and one for Shows
        * The Movies folder you will select is **/library/movies**
        * The Shows folder you will select is **/library/shows**
        * Under Advanced disable Video Preview Thumbnails
      * In order for Plex Debrid to properly recognize your Plex Libraries you will need to ensure you have at least one item of each type in your Movie and Show libraries
        * I recommend any random movie and TV show torrent to your Real Debrid account, manually running a scan to ensure they are recognized, and then start running your Plex Debrid script
        * __**This must be done before setting up Plex_Debrid**__
    * **Plex Debrid**
      * Plex Debrid is now running on your server - to set up Plex Debrid type "sudo docker attach plex_debrid"
      * You will initially have a black screen, hit the return key to setup your Plex Debrid service
      * Enter "http://localhost:32400" for your server address
      * In order to gracefully exit the script while leaving it running push Ctrl-P and then Ctrl-Q
====== Important Note - Home rclone Mount ======
  * If you have already set up an rclone mount on your home PC, and are now transitioning to Oracle you will first need to go to https://real-debrid.com/downloads and delete all of your download links - the mount will automatically recreate all of your links for you
    * This is necessary because pre-existing downloads will have been created for your home IP address and will need to be recreated for the Oracle IP address
