Plex is broken after FreeNAS to TrueNAS core migration

[jc5105]

Hi,

I'm having issues with Plex Media Server after migrating from FreeNAS to TrueNAS. When attempting to update the application the following error code is presented.
Error: Major ABI change detectedm please run 'upgrade' instead.

Has anyone else ran into this issue?

Yes.

run iocage fetch and select the option for 12.1-RELEASE.

Then iocage upgrade -r 12.1-RELEASE [your plex jailname]

I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the suggested solution didn't work. Is there another solution I can try?

Code:

Snapshotting plex...
Updating plugin INDEX...
Running upgrade...
plex is not running, starting jail

Command output:
plex is not running, starting jail

Command output:
etcupdate failed! Rolling back snapshot.
root@freenas[~]# iocage upgrade -r 12.1-RELEASE plex
Snapshotting plex...
Snapshot already exists
Updating plugin INDEX...
Running upgrade...
plex is not running, starting jail

Command output:

I did the upgrade this way: iocage upgrade [jailname] -r 12.1-RELEASE

I upgraded a jail to 12.1-RELEASE and while it was functioning after the upgrade I was unable to get pkg or ports to work afterwards. All the solutions I found online related to the specific errors didn't work. I ended up rebuilding both of my jails from scratch. It actually took less time to rebuild the jails from scratch than it did to upgrade. Each jail only had a couple of things installed in it, so I installed the appropriate pkgs and then copied the config and other needed files from the old jail. They are up and running fine now.

I don't run plex so I'm not sure if the same sort of procedure would work as well or not, but just be prepared for the upgrade to only partially work.

Maybe have a look here:

PSA: Fix pkg after upgrading an iocage jail to 12.1

After upgrading a jail using iocage upgrade -r 12.1-RELEASE jailname on TrueNAS Core 12.0 Beta 1, pkg inside the jail will fail, thusly: root@traefik:~ # pkg info ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libarchive.so.6" not found, required by "pkg" Fix this by running pkg-static install -f -y pkg inside...

I tried that fix along with several others I found online and in the freebsd bug tracker. Nothing worked. In the end it was much easier to just rebuild them, and quicker than upgrading too. In the future I'll update through the interface and just rebuild instead of bothering with upgrading. I don't really use the plugins yet, so I'm not sure if a similar strategy would be effective there.

Agreed. I often sit there wondering why I'm waiting so long for a process that seems so inefficient to complete when creating a new jail is so fast and if your data is properly stored outside it, it's so easy and quick.
