Server Version#: Version 1.42.1.10060 Player Version#: Version 4.147.1 Before I upgrade the system that is running plex media server, I just wanted to check to be sure that Debian 13 (just released) is supported. Can someone confirm please? Thanks in advance. ---

No need to wait. The “issue” mentioned just means plex will need to update their apt repository within a year. It functions perfectly fine with no need to wait to upgrade. ---

I’ve been running Plex on Debian sid/unstable for over a decade with little to no problems. As longs as you’re comfortable handling common Linux issues, you should be fine. ---

## ALL: The repository is being worked on now (an overhaul). It does function now for downloading the DEB file and installing. As part of the overhaul, the signing keys will be addressed. (been problematic for a bit now). As signing has upgraded in the distros, there will be those who see apt complain about the signing key. This is expected (Sorry). This will be resolved as the repository (and the backside which populates it) get updated. I don’t have a completion date for you but can share it is **current** tasking for the team. ---

Debian 13 is supported. The repository work is not complete. As such, you will continue to get the warning of pending expiration next year ---

@tocotronaut Do you get any errors installing the GPG key ? The DEB package has supported GPG signing for quite some time. (Yes I know the backend from the build system isn’t complete which is being moved to a new platform and worked on since November) The DEB package code ```auto # Switch repo definition to using the GPG key if not already done. HostArch="$(dpkg --print-architecture)" wget -q -O - https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key | gpg --yes --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/plexmediaserver.gpg Result=$? if [$Result -eq 0]; then sed -i -e "s+deb https://downloads.plex.tv+deb [arch=$HostArch signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/plexmediaserver.gpg] https://downloads.plex.tv+" \ /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list else Output "WARNING: Unable to install Plex GPG signing key in /usr/share/keyrings/plexmediaserver.gpg" Warnings=$((Warnings + 1)) fi # Output final message if [$Fail -eq 0]; then Output "$PMSver - Installation successful.

Good, thanks for confirming that. As for the actual signing, 1. They had been signing with a key which was both GPG + SHA1 compatible. 2. As you see on Debian, it doesn’t like that. 3. AFAIK, they’re going to completely drop the SHA-1 in the rehosted build system in favor of using a new GPG-only signing key ---

FWIW: It is pretty easy to direct-download the .deb using the link in the web console using \ and then dpkg -i newPlexMediaServerPackage.deb. I prefer to stick with the public release version and eschew betas though so YMMV if hot-new-features are important to you. The public release version comes out a handful of times per year…or few enough that I can’t even tell you how often my hands touch keys. ---

This is your GPG Signing Key: CD665CBA0E2F88B7373F7CB997203C7B3ADCA79D. The Signing Key is Weak because SHA1 encryption was considered completely Broken around 2020. So nobody should like SHA1 in 2026. Please Update the GPG+SHA1 Signing Key to GPG+SHA265 (or something else Debian Accepts.) Otherwise Nobody will be able to autoupdate Plex (on Debian) Starting February. Sorry for my bad English. ---

## ALL: We had a meeting about this today: 1. New key is ready 2. New repo looks ready but needs final testing with updated packaging. 3. Updated packaging (final details) for new key and repo discussed at length so everyone is onboard. – A few mods to existing package scripts for the new key – A few other mods to improve cleaning up old key(s) if package uninstalled. The scripting changes will happen tomorrow and we’ll start testing to confirm they are ready (both DEB and RPM) I’m not on the build team but am involved with this. We will make the deadline. ---
