My Plex server is telling me that there are updates available. For at least three weeks, maybe four, I've been trying to update Plex, but pkg tells me that my repositories are up to date and there are no packages available to update for either Plex or any other software installed in the jail. It seems very unlikely that nothing installed in the jail has been updated in that time, so I think there's something wrong.
For reference: I'm not using either of the TrueNAS Plex plugins as I wanted Plex updates to come in more quickly than the plugin seems to allow. I therefore followed these instructions, manually creating a jail and using pkg to install the plexpass version of PMS. When Plex tells me that a new version is available, I manually run pkg upgrade, which usually finds something to update, even if it's not actually Plex. For further reference, I understand that the Plex updates obtained in this manner are not uploaded by Plex themselves, but by a third party as and when they are able, which means that the updates usually take a few days to appear.
As I said, I haven't seen anything at all updated by pkg in that jail for at least three weeks, and I've been trying every few days. Based on what I've read online, pkg upgrade should be enough on its own, but even when I run pkg update first, nothing is updated. pkg update reports that all repositories are up to date, pkg upgrade says my packages are up to date.
I only have three jails right now: one is running Resilio Sync via the plugin, so I assume it's being kept updated by TrueNAS itself (but the Plugins page is currently reporting the version as "N/A" for some reason) so I've left that alone. The other one is a test for Handbrake and isn't normally running: I just started it and ran pkg upgrade from the shell and it found and updated some packages successfully.
Is there some way I can test that pkg is working correctly in the Plex jail? Perhaps it isn't communicating correctly with the repositories?
Thanks in advance.
