I have tried restarting the docker, and I have tried stopping and then starting, all of which failed to update the server.
I then tried pulling a new docker using the latest tag, which didn’t pull anything.
I then pulled using the plexpass tag and it downloaded some additional info.
I then stopped the docker, rm’d it, and tried to recreate using “plexinc/pms-docker:plexpass” at the end, which didn’t want to run properly, so I stopped, rm’d and recreated using "plexinc/pms-docker’ at the end.
I now have a working media server again, albeit one that is telling me about the update that I want.
So… How do it get my docker to update to the latest plexpass version?
The latest tag (which is the default) is the public releases only. You’ll need to use the plexpass tag to run Plex Pass versions. Running it is identical to the latest just with the tag specified.

Thanks for the insight gbooker02.
When you say use the "plexpass’ tag, do you use that under version in the creation script like this: -e VERSION=plexpass \
or do you use it in the final statement like this: plexinc/pms-docker:plexpass
or do you do both…

Final statement, eg.
docker run -dt --restart=always --name plex -p 32400:32400 -v /media/files:/media -v /path/to/config:/config plexinc/pms-docker:plexpass

Thanks for all the input!
I shall test it and post an update!
Fantastic work!
It is up and running and all plexpassed!
The assistance is greatly appreciated!
If that’s the case, what’s the VERSION env var for? It seems to default to ‘latest’. The readme.md isn’t very helpful…
The VERSION env doesn’t exist! If you found instructions talking about it, then those are the wrong instructions.
The documentation for this on the official Docker repo is severely lacking. I followed the documentation precisely, and I never saw any mention of this until the “Tags” section. However, there is no guidance on how to use that information. This thread was the first hint that I had on how to specify the plexpass build.
Thank you to @jkaberg for the information. Hopefully someone at Plex updates the official documentation to be a bit more intuitive.
