I’ve recently installed Plex, and I seem to have to upgrade manually every time a new version comes out. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Server Version#: 1.21.0.3616-d87012962  
Ubuntu 18.04.5, 4.15.0-122-generic 32bit

```auto
root@plex:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# cat plexmediaserver.list 
deb https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb public main

```

```auto
root@plex:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# apt-key list

```

```auto
root@plex:/etc/apt/sources.list.d# dpkg --list | grep plexme
ii plexmediaserver 1.21.0.3616-d87012962 i386

```

Current version at time of writing is 1.21.3.4014.

```auto

Thanks for any help!

I haven’t been able to find it, but I seem to remember a forum conversation about the updates being delayed getting to the repos. Something like a couple of days, maybe more, I just don’t remember. The latest public build was just announced yesterday, so this may be the issue.

Ah ok. Well I guess I should wait then. Weirdly though, I have another machine I installed it on the other day (also Ubuntu) which seems to have been able to use apt to get to the latest release. The only difference being it’s 64bit.

I could be wrong, it’s just a vague recollection.
