Plexa - self-hosted Plex music dashboard + Alexa skill

I built Plexa, a self-hosted Plex music dashboard with a custom Alexa skill so you can browse your Plex music library in the browser and play it on Echo devices.

This is not a Home Assistant integration, but it may be useful if you already self-host Plex and use Alexa speakers in your homelab.

Highlights

  • Browse artists, albums, tracks, and playlists from Plex
  • Play music in the browser with a queue panel
  • Manage playlists (create, edit, reorder)
  • Custom Alexa skill for voice playback on Echo devices
  • Sign in with Plex (OAuth)
  • Docker deployment with persistent data

Example voice commands

  • Alexa, open plexa
  • start the long drive playlist
  • mix Sample Artist

Repo

Full setup instructions, Alexa guide, Docker compose, and screenshots are in the repository:
