Hi Plex users!
How can I achieve “automatic” update of PMS from the Web UI?
Currently I have a notification for a new version available with a clickable link for manual install (ie downloading the deb)
Thanks for your help!
The link below explains the process for the stable branch.
No auto updates (at least officially, I haven’t bothered with scripts) for beta branch, due to UIDs involved.
Thank you!
I implemented successfully the update through the repo. and it’s much easier.
But how do I update from Web interface?
You can’t.
@evob ugh, sorry. I read for crap apparently.
To my knowledge, there isn’t any way to, at least in any official way.
PMS is not updateable through the GUI on Linux because of default Linux security.
On Linux, Plex is a regular user. Only the super user (root) can update software.
The architecture and software privilege walls in Linux are absolute.
While you can not update through the web UI it’s a simple thing to get automated updates.

Thanks all for your answer.
I will stick to manual install with official repository. It’s easier enough to not bother automating.
