Setting up Plex to auto-update within iocage jail using cron

[Mark Holtz]

I am currently running TrueNAS-13.0-U5.3 with Plex set up in a jail and the following configuration:

Version: 1.32.5.7328
Plugin: plexmediaserver-plexpass
Release: 13.1-RELEASE-p9
Collection: https://github.com/freenas/iocage-ix-plugins.git

I have been utilizing a script at https://github.com/mstinaff/PMS_Updater to update the server, and have it set up to run as a cron job with the iocage as follows:

Code:

# Run the Plex update job weekly on Sundays at 23:00 (11:00 PM)
0 23 * * 0      $HOME/backupplex.sh

# Run the PMS Updater on a daily basis at 06:00 (6:00 AM)
#0 6 * * *      $HOME/PMS_Updater.sh

Unfortunately, a bad update took my Plex server down. Apparently, the incorrect token is now being passed, so I had to comment out that cron. Are they any suggestions for a better script that I can run to update Plex?

There is a full plex install that updates itself included there.

From mobile view you can't see signatures. Switch to dekstop view.

Scripted Plex installation

Yes, it's another of my scripted jail installations, this time for Plex Media Server. It puts metadata outside the jail, uses the latest packages, and automatically updates every week. See...
