# 1. Create plex user
# 2. Download and install Plex (non plexpass)
# 3. Create writable config directory in case the volume isn't mounted
# This gets the latest non-plexpass version
# Note: We created a dummy /bin/start to avoid install to fail due to upstart not being installed.
# We won't use upstart anyway.
