ls: cannot access /etc/apt: No such file or directory
Which version please?
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Oops. never mind, the server is running RHEL.
Since I’m updating it remotely from an Ubuntu machine, what I really need to know is the URL to use to access the rpm directly.
In other words, what the pass to wgets to download the rpm directly.
This used to work but now does not:
wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/$1/plexmediaserver-$1.x86_64.rpm
Ubuntu RPM path , as found in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
Redhat
[chuck@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/plex.repo
[PlexRepo]
name=PlexRepo
baseurl=https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/rpm/$basearch/
enabled=0
gpgkey=https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key
gpgcheck=1
[chuck@localhost ~]$
When I try to wgets the latest rpm, I get a 404:
$ wgets https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/rpm/plexmediaserver-1.15.4.994-107756f7e.x86_64.rpm

Are you IPv6 or IPv4 ?
Looks like you’re IPv6.
AFAIK, which I will check, nothing is IPv6 yet
I don’t think we’re IPV6, but I’m confused as to the relevance.
What we need is the current locations of the rpm on the Plex servers, so that we can download them using wget.
Up until recently this command worked:
wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/$1/plexmediaserver-$1.x86_64.rpm
Based on your advice above I tried this command:
wget https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/rpm/plexmediaserver-$1.x86_64.rpm
But it returned a 404.
I will ask the build team what the direct wget syntax should be.
I don’t have the final documentation for it yet.
To determine if you’re IPv6 or V4
Whatsmyip.org will reply with V4 or V6
nslookup plex.tv
will respond with IPv6 first if you’re v6-based.
If it does, we will need see why you’re getting that. Plex doesn’t have IPv6-facing repos yet. (the cloud doesn’t have it)
I’ll wait to hear what the build team says about the wget syntax. I believe that is all I need to download the current Plex media server rpm.
As to the IPV4 vs IPV6 question, I’m still confused why that matters, and I further confused by the instructions to visit whatsmyip.org, which returned my IP address and some other information:
Your Hostname:
xxx.xx.xx.xxx
Your User Agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.131 Safari/537.36
Nothing about V4 or V6, and nothing about running nslookup on plex.tv.
