You will need a dedicated server, from a server provider, installed with Ubuntu Server [20.04](https://releases.ubuntu.com/20.04/) or [22.04](https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04/).

Some examples of "server provider" woudl be places like [OVH](https://us.ovhcloud.com/), [LeaseWeb](https://www.leaseweb.com/dedicated-servers). [Hetzner](https://www.hetzner.com/), and the like. Saltbox does not recommend any server p[rovider specifically; these are just examples. Historically, Hetzner has been popular, but recent changes by Plex have made it less attractive.

Plex Inc has recently [mid-October 2023] instituted network roadblocks that cause problems connecting to Plex servers running in Hetzner datacenters. This can be worked around by putting Plex behind a VPN using Gluetun, but this is of course an added complication. If you are starting fresh, perhaps consider a host other than Hetzner, assuming you want to use Plex.
Plex Inc has recently [mid-October 2023] instituted network roadblocks that cause problems connecting to Plex servers running in Hetzner datacenters [at least European data centers]. This can be worked around by putting Plex behind a VPN using Gluetun, but this is of course an added complication. If you are starting fresh, perhaps consider a host other than Hetzner, assuming you want to use Plex.

The install assumes that this is a fresh setup without anything else installed. If your server has things like Docker preinstalled, chances are the installer will fail with a non-obvious error.
