cannot iocage upgrade plex

[par]

My plex jail is stuck on 11.3-RELEASE-p14 whereas all of my other ones I was able to iocage update to 12.1-RELEASE-p10. I also tried using the Plugins Update button and it didn't work. In both cases the update says successful but is stuck on 11.3. When I tried creating a new plex plugin it was on 12.1 as expected.

I think the reason might be that my plex jail "plugin name" is set to "plex" and not "plexmediaserver"? But there appears to be no way to rename it as the option is greyed out. How do I fix this without creating a whole new plex plugin installation?

Stop your jail, open a TrueNAS shell and run the commands below, upgrade will fail:

Code:

root@nas[~]# iocage list

Is this the expected behavior? The plugin shows the 12.1 release now:

That is odd. I must say my jail upgrade wasn't flawless either but it shows 12.1-RELEASE and everything seems to work. Might a script glitch.

You might want to check out the thread HERE. Been through this some time ago. If you follow the guidelines, you should be able to fix that.

Hey this worked for me thank you, upgraded to 12.1-RELEASE for the plex jail. I was trying something similar and it kept failing so I think the crucial part was with the config.json. I don't think most people are going to run into this problem unless they created their plex plugin a some time ago like you mentioned.

Happy to hear that. I have had a fair share of issues with Plex and am happy to say, it has been working like a charm for a long time now.
