Very excited about having a snap available, looking forward to migrating to it to put the manual upgrades behind me.
However:
Answers:
Expected support completion, 2 weeks.
Did I miss the support article being published on this?
Emby has well-documented docker support, I’d personally prefer snaps, great that there’s finally a way for us Linux Plex users to stay up-to-date without having to manually download updated packages.
@ChuckPa – any news?
Snap is available.
There is a snap tag now available in the forum.
I personally have not had time to learn how snap works so I can support it yet.
(busy working on the new packaging and improving existing NAS packages, eg. Thecus)
snap has been available for 2 months now, the question is where is the documentation for usage.
I have sent a message off to the publications team.
I will reply when I get word back.
If you are familiar with Linux, the SNAP installer should be of no difficulty.
SNAP isn’t docker. It is Ubuntu-specific and should behave like any other normal package installation on Linux (AFAIK)
If you’re familiar with discourse, you could see that I have a snap installed. The start-up error I’ve reported 2 months ago is still there as the snap hasn’t been updated since. It probably needs to be rebuilt with dbus-x11 added.
PS. Tagging @elan .
I don’t follow what you do and I’m sorry my usual big forum presence has been less than normal but I’m spending a lot of my time with other issues right now which are Linux-wide.
Ubuntu SNAP, as I stated above, is something Ive not had time to explore yet.
A post was split to a new topic: Error upgrading
Well,
rather than hoping Plex team would fix a broken snap, I’ve decided to try out this docker image and it’s been working wonderfully.
I have since created a docker-compose file which bundles together Plex and a few other Plex-related services and I can finally forget downloading the new packages manually.
