so when I log into plex I get

Update available for Plex Media Server

You are currently running version 1.21.1.3876 on the server “plexserv”. Version 1.21.3.4021 is now available. This update will need to be installed manually after download. Show release notes.

however, this topic

suggests I can in fact keep PMS up to date using Debian package managers.

whish is it?

I’ve gone in and ran all the sudo apt update and sudo apt-get etc, rebooted the server, and yet still get the message?

Check Settings - Server - General - (Show Advanced)

Look at: Server update Channel

The automatic (repository based) updating aligns with “Public”
Manual updates ( download manually + sudo dpkg -i ..... ) aligns with “Beta”.

I have this option set to public. Does that mean that I should be able to automatically update the Plex media server Lena software via the standard DEB package manager commands?

Yes.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

You may use sudo apt-get -y upgrade if you want all possible updates automatically
