Plex Updates via PMS Updater
Using the Plex Media Server (PMS) updater will require you to choose a " -l" option for “local”. This is because it can no longer find and associate the correct URL associated with PMS update files.
Something like this would suffice:
From a browser:
Log into the PMS’s Web UI >
Navigate to: Settings> General , and download the PMS Update tarball file ending in ".tar.bz2 "
- Save the tarball “pms.update.123************.tar.bz2” in a location accessible from a windows share
- This same location should be mounted within the associated PMS jail under /download
From Terminal (putty, mobaxterm, etc):
Log into the IOCAGE associated with PMS
iocage console <name_of_jail>
e.g.
iocage console pms
From your home directory create a folder called “ pms_updater”
mkdir -p pms_updater
Navigate into the folder you just created and download the PMS_UpdaterPLEXPASS.sh script
cd pms_updater
fetch https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luluhoc/PMS_Updater/master/PMS_UpdaterPLEXPASS.sh
Note: fetch & the URL are all one line
Next move the file to the same directory as the script and rename .tar file as pms.update.tar.bz2
e.g.
mv /media/download/PlexMediaServer* ~/pms_updater/pms.update.tar.bz2
Update Plex:
./PMS_UpdaterPLEXPASS.sh -l pms.update.tar.bz2 -vv -a
You should see the following output:
Verifying pms.update.tar.bz2 …Done
Removing previous PMS Backup …Done.
Stopping Plex Media Server
…plexmediaserver_plexpass not running? (check/var/run/plex/plex.pid).
Done.
Moving current Plex Media Server to backup location …Done.
Extracting pms.update.tar.bz2 …Done.
Starting Plex Media Server …Starting plexmediaserver_plexpass.
Done.
If it doesn’t look like the update took immediately, either refresh the PMS Web UI (browser)
or Exit the IOCAGE and restart the IOCAGE /Jail:
iocage restart <jail_name>
e.g.
iocage restart plex
Validate via the Web UI once more under Settings> General and you should be golden.
