Im seeing a update on top but not sure whats the perfect option to upgrade without losing date.
Shall I do this in terminal ?
wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/0.9.9.14.531-7eef8c6/plexmediaserver_0.9.9.14.531-7eef8c6_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_0.9.9.14.531-7eef8c6_amd64.deb
That isn’t the latest version, but yes, it shouldn’t be harder than that to upgrade. Though, if you are a few major versions behind I’d advise to do a more incremental upgrade route just to be sure.
Ummm, confused.
Dont want to break the server.
Current Version 2.4.23
So, what should be the safest way to upgrade to latest without disturbing anything ?
That isn’t the Plex server version, that’s the Plex Web version. You have a Plexpass with backup abilities in the butler service. Do a manual backup too and you should be more than safe.
Confused. Any documentation how I should upgrade safely by logging to my terminal ?
I havent been able to upgrade on my Windows 10 pc for many months, same error everytime (c:\programdata\Programcache{guid}\pms.msi not found…
nope it wont, as the guid is not there, it hasnt been deleted either, cant explain, cant fix it, tried to reinstall various .net frameworks as per help page.
What I would like is a method to totally remove PMS from my pc, so I can reinstall from scratch… anyone help out here?
Thanks
Steve
@g6hoq - best if you create your own thread in the Windows subforum.
@jetplex.in - no need to be confused. You were using the correct commands from the start. I just wanted to point out the fact hat the version you specified wasn’t the latest. I then assumed that you had done so because you was a bit behind in versions. A simple upgrade of versions won’t touch your libraries or affect watched status for instance.
But as always, regardless if doing an upgrade or not, backups are the most important factor in all - https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201539237-Backing-Up-Plex-Media-Server-Data - that was the only thing I wanted to add.
Okay I will go through the backup documentation.
Can you paste the exact command I need to paste now with the latest version please ?
As of right now the latest version is this - https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/0.9.16.6.1993-5089475/plexmediaserver_0.9.16.6.1993-5089475_amd64.deb
wget https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media-server/0.9.16.6.1993-5089475/plexmediaserver_0.9.16.6.1993-5089475_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_0.9.16.6.1993-5089475_amd64.deb
Thats it ?
So, nothing to lose ?
Just being careful.
That will work perfectly fine.
Okay awesome, you are the man!
Just in case, if it breaks anything, is there a way to go back to where we were ?
First I’d try and just install the old version. That should work. But if it doesn’t you could follow the move section here https://support.plex.tv/hc/en-us/articles/201370363-Move-an-Install-to-Another-System and use your previously created backup.
IT worked simply with the above command.
Thanks thanks thanks
