While setting up my Plex I noticed that I couldn’t connect from my laptop to configure the server that I installed on a Ubuntu Server due to that they existed on different subnets. To solve this I installed Ubuntu Desktop temporarily on my Ubuntu Server and set up the server from a browser on the local machine.
But as I like minimal installs and not a bloated server I later decided to remove Ubuntu desktop completley. Here is how you do:
-
Install Ubuntu Desktop without install RECOMMENDS
$~: sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop
-
Remove Ubuntu Desktop completely
$~: sudo apt purge ubuntu-desktop -y && sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo apt autoclean
-
Done!
