Plex docker won't update to latest plex pass version

It took me a minute to figure out what’s going on but here’s how to do it step by step (provided you have run the plex media server docker at least once & have used the token or signed in to your plex pass account AND USING UNRAID)

  1. Go to your unraid server (default: http://tower/) put in your username/password as needed
  2. Go to the “Docker” tab
  3. Click on the checkbox under Log next to your Plex container. Make sure you can see if changes are happening.
  4. Click the Plex container name (default: PlexMediaServer) NAME NOT ICON or icon then click edit if you want to be stubborn.
  5. Edit Repository (3rd one down - Name, Overview, Repository) to: plexinc/pms-docker:plexpass
  6. Click done, on the log window, an update should occur. If not, click on the Plex icon, click stop, click on icon again, click start and watch the log window and it should pull the plex pass version and update your container.
  7. ???
  8. Profit!

If this doesn’t give you the latest (1.7.2.3878 as of this writing) then PMS dockers might not be for you/just enjoy the public version and be happy.

Hope this helps other new guys who are experimenting and learning new things! Keep exploring and experiencing the unknown!

EDIT: Keep Key 4 (Version) as it is (default: latest)
