Plex Iocage jail disappeared after upgrade

[Martin Jones]

I have tried top upgrade twice from 11.3-U5 to 12.0 both times the plex iocage jail disappeared. After reverting back to 11.3 good old plex is still in one piece. I've been through the forums and don't find anything specific.

11.3 RELEASE versions of PLEX are not compatible with current RELEASE version 12. You need to upgrade your plex jail to the latest version, 11.3 RELEASE is end of life

 

[Martin Jones]

Thanks for the info but I tried that. I presume the only/best method is to create a new one. Great!

 

[Martin Jones]

OK I tried to update, once again, to 12,0 and got the same reaction no JID for the iocage jail. Tried both of the following entries over two days

Code:

iocage upgrade plex -r 12.1-RELEASE
iocage upgrade -r 12.1-RELEASE plex

The entries appeared to work as they both downloaded 12.1 for plex. I was asked many times if the information was correct and finally was advised that plex had been upgraded but lots of entries would be deleted before the upgrade was finished. Nothing further happened. 24 hours later still no upgrade was achieved for either entry. I rebooted. Tried to restart the jail, tried to update the jail, No change, still on 11.3 U5 no JID. So once again reverted to 11.3 U5 and everything works perfectly. I'm lost! I really do not want to create a new jail from scratch as I have a large music and movie library.

You cannot run a 12.1 jail on 11.3 if that is what you tried. What is the output of iocage list and iocage start?

 

[Jailer]

There won't be a JID unless the jail is running. If you just want to get plex running and up to date you could upgrade the jail to 11.4 and wait to upgrade FreeNAS at a later date. iocage upgrade plex -r 11.4-RELEASE

 

[Martin Jones]

Thanks for responding Guys, I was in 12 and tried to upgrade the jail to 12.1 went through the whole process and it wouldn't upgrade. I'm now back in 11.3 and tried to upgrade to 11.4. Impossible tried it 3 times now. Jail still works though, for now. Suggestions?

 

[Jailer]

Any way you could copy and paste the error here in code tags? Kinda hard to diagnose without the actual error message.

 

[Martin Jones]

I tried again for 11.4

Code:

I wait 10 minutes, FreeNAS reboots and we're back to 11.3

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

At the "more" prompt you are supposed to read through the list by hitting the "space" key repeatedly or "q" to exit altogether.

As for the reboot - no clue, sorry.

 

[Martin Jones]

With respect Patrick, there are over 150000 entries There must be a way to delete all

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

"q"

Edit: I already mentioned that above, but the main point is that your update will not proceed until you quit the pager.

 

[Jailer]

You don't need to reboot when upgrading a jail. Let the upgrade finish, it can take a bit.

 

[Martin Jones]

Patrick your Q suggestion did come up with the following

Code:

To install the downloaded upgrades, run "/usr/sbin/freebsd-update install

root@plex:~ # freebsd-update install

Updates cannot be installed when the system secure level is greater than zero

 

[Martin Jones]

Patrick FYI I don't reboot FreeNAS reboots automatically.

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

iocage upgrade uses freebsd-update inside the jail. So it is partly expected and then again it is not, because it should continue instead of aborting with that error.

Erm .. you are logged in in the jail? I see a "root@plex" prompt.

You are supposed to just run iocage upgrade on the FreeNAS host, nothing in the jail ...

 

[Martin Jones]

I tried one more time and used Q a couple of times and got this response:

Code:

please reboot and run /tmp/tmpahvh3oe4 install

I didn't reboot thankfully and the update started to install. A couple more repeat requests but finally I'm at 11.4-p5. Patrick, I will take your advise and not upgrade to 12 just yet. Thanks for your help.
