Does the 1.15.6.1079 rpm require systemd? Will future releases?

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Server Version#: 1.14.1.5488
Player Version#: n/a
Host: Centos 6.10 final
I use a small update script to manually update my server when the flag shows up on the clients. Today when I tried to update, rpm returned an error saying systemd is required. I know, I know, it is way old and I need to update it and will. But until I do, am I stuck at 1.14.1.5488?

My script:

#!/bin/sh


curl -o plexmediaserver_latest.rpm -O -L "https://plex.tv/downloads/latest/1?channel=8&build=linux-ubuntu-x86_64&distro=redhat&X-Plex-Token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
yum -y update plexmediaserver_latest.rpm
rm plexmediaserver_latest.rpm
/etc/init.d/plexmediaserver start
#service plexmediaserver start

Results when script is run:

Glibc 2.14.1 is the requirement. I do not believe Centos 6 meets that minimum anymore.

PMS 1.14.1 was based on glibc 2.07-ish
We needed to make a minimal update to something a bit more common.
glibc, is that minimum step. Current glibc is 2.28. Most NAS boxes run glibc 2.17

Close. I show glibc 2.12 on my system.

So I am stuck on 1.14.1 until the server is upgraded. What was the error about systemd being required? I read your thread on sysv and systemd for installation packages and thought this may be related.

There is no INIT support at present.

I am adding SYSV init support to all the linux packages.

PMS will run on any INIT or SYSTEMD system provided glibc minimum is satisfied and the package manager is compatible (deb or rpm)

CentOS 7 uses glibc 2.17, it’s not just the NAS-s using an older version.

6

that’s fine. PMS runs on Centos 7 with Systemd currently.

Centos 6 is another matter due to glibc
