Update Plex Server running on Raspbian / R-Pi 3 model B+

Hi
I’m trying to update Plex Server running on Raspbian.

I get the following error:

sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.15.8.1198-eadbcbb45_armhf.deb
dpkg: regarding plexmediaserver_1.15.8.1198-eadbcbb45_armhf.deb containing plexmediaserver:
plexmediaserver-installer conflicts with plexmediaserver (>= 1.13.6)
plexmediaserver (version 1.15.8.1198-eadbcbb45) is to be installed.

dpkg: error processing archive plexmediaserver_1.15.8.1198-eadbcbb45_armhf.deb (–install):
conflicting packages - not installing plexmediaserver
Errors were encountered while processing:
plexmediaserver_1.15.8.1198-eadbcbb45_armhf.deb

anyone know why?

So the package downloaded from plex.tv is perhaps conflicting with what’s available in Debain repo (from where I installed).

Is there any way of backing up all Plex settings, if a reinstall is necessary?

Solved by adding Plex repo to Rasbian:

For future reference, the migration is described at the usual place :wink:
