Plex Docker - Releases

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

Hey Gents,

I notice the Official docker repo is behind in version releases.

Is this the correct repo?
https://hub.docker.com/r/plexinc/pms-docker/tags/

Yes that is the correct repo and no it is not behind. Beta versions are restricted to PlexPass users only but docker hub has no means of restricting images to these users. As a result, only publicly released versions are ever released to docker hub.

Thanks for heads up.

Good to know.

But why does it have a plexpass tag then? And a beta tag?
I really thought using the plexpass tag was giving me the plexpass betas before

This explains it: https://github.com/plexinc/pms-docker#tags

so basically I should be using the beta channel as a plexpass user then.
Not sure why I was using the plexpass tag before. Does it even make sense ? Whats the difference? :slight_smile:

I can’t seem to find anything related to the plexpass tag on the GitHub page

We renamed plexpass -> beta a bit over a year ago company wide to better describe what it really is. Too many people thought they needed the plexpass version to use Plex Pass features and you don’t; the features are in the public released versions too.

I see. This makes sense. So I guess the plexpass version just stopped updating in the last 1-3 months, because my server stayed outdated after restarting the docker. Everything is working perfectly now again after switching to the beta tag, thanks!

No; it’s been kept up. It points to the exact same image as the beta tag just because we recognized that some users would still be using the old tag and we really didn’t have a means to inform them they should change tags.

When can we expect the latest 1.15 public release to hit the official docker? Latest version in the repo is 1.14.1.5488-cc260c476

Also wondering this. Second 1.15.# release is now out and it’s still stuck on 1.14.

Edit: Should note that I’m using plexinc/pms-docker:latest and public channel and have pulled the image and recreated the container and it has remained on 1.14.1.5488

Solved: What fixed it for me in the end was changing the image tag from latest to public. Then a fresh image pull and recreating the container and I was on the most recent release.

I just did the same, and I’m now on 1.15.2.

All I did was

(from a clone of the github repo)
docker build -t local/plex .

(where I store my startup scripts)
docker stop plex
docker rm plex

docker run \
    --restart=always \
    -d \
    --name plex \
    --network=host \
    -e TZ="Your/Timezone" \
    -e PLEX_CLAIM="claim-xxxx" \
    -v ~/plex/config:/config \
    -v ~/plex/transcode:/transcode \
    -v ~/plex/media:/data \
    local/plex:latest
