Server Version#: 1.18.2.2058.
Player Version#:
My server has been informing me that there is an update for Plex for around a week or so. On docker restart, Plex doesn’t seem to be picking it up.
My version tag is “latest”
Anyone else having this issue?
A restart does not update the docker image, if that is what you mean. You have to pull the new image first (I hope I use the right lingo) and then restart the container.
Edit: Just realised that the official docker image was not updated yet, so 1.18.2.2058 is the latest version: https://hub.docker.com/r/plexinc/pms-docker/tags
It does on UNRAID… It pulls the latest version when it’s restarted.
The image on Docker Hub hasn’t been updated, I’m just wondering why…
Ok than unraid possibly does that in the background you restart it over their interface. Guess we have to wait for it to be updated.
If you change the tag to Plexpass then the container will do an update check every time it’s started (or restarted) and download any updates. It doesn’t need the image itself to be updated.
Just check my configuration and there are the tags beta and public:
plexinc/pms-docker:beta gives you the plex pass release as described here:
I’ll try beta…
This part, “These two images do not have any Plex Media Server binary installed. Instead, when these containers are run, they will perform an update check and fetch the latest version, install it, and then continue execution. They also run the update check whenever the container is restarted. To update the version in the container, simply stop the container and start container again when you have a network connection. The startup script will automatically fetch the appropriate version and install it before starting the Plex Media Server.” is what I was talking about how to update Plex by restarting.
Still doesn’t pull with Beta for me…
Must either be an oversight or they held it back due to an issue. Usually it’s realised the same time as all the other versions.
It worked for me so you must be doing something wrong… Did you pull the new image first?
It updated you to 1.8.3?
Version 1.18.3.2129
Yes it did.
Hmmm… odd!
Are you using docker? Whats your OS?
Ubuntu 18.04 and yes docker via docker-compose file.
I’ve just removed the docker img and reinstalled, it pulled the same image. 1.8.2, I can only image that it’s and unraid issue, i’ll try there forum. It could be a setting in my local Plex Library holding it back too.
Might try making a completely new library first and see what that pulls. Rule that out first!
Dunno how unraid does it. If you were on latest and now on beta, you have to (manually?) pull the image first and then restart the container. You probably don’t pull the right/new image but simply restart the old one.
It not quite the same on Unraid. They have a docker manager that checks for updated to the docker img. However looks as though Plex is unusually, in that it updates itself (inside the docker) too on restart.
Updating either has helped me, I didn’t notice that on Unraid the template pulls it’s images from https://hub.docker.com/r/plexinc/pms-docker/ and that build isn’t showing on there!
It is kind of unusual, I agree. Still it works for me and should also work for you somehow.
If I got it right, then the beta image itself is never updated on docker hub, since the binary updates itself at restart. Still if you change the tag, the new image should be pulled regardless of what it does at startup.
It’s not pulling on the fresh install I made with an empty library either.
So I suspect it’s UNRAID side. I’ll have a look through their forums, see if anybody else is having the same issue.
I’ve tried ever tag going, latest, beta, plexpass, might try the full release tag think its 1.18.3.2129-41af4e729.
Using the version tag, 1.18.3.2129-41af4e729 didn’t work either!
Yes because it doesn’t exist.
