Hi there I went to update the Plex Plugin and the following happen


Error: Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(128) cmdline: git clone -v https://github.com/freenas/iocage-plugin-plexmediaserver.git /mnt/Candace/iocage/jails/Plex/plugin stderr: 'Cloning into '/mnt/Candace/iocage/jails/Plex/plugin'... fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/freenas/iocage-plugin-plexmediaserver.git/': Could not resolve host: github.com '
Seems like you don't have a default gateway setup on your nas. While you are at it double check out nameserver/dns settings.

I would also suggest that you just use a normal jail and install plex using pkg. That way to update you just have to pkg update and it pulls straight from the freebsd ports build which will always be the most recent and requires no third party person to update things.

...except the pkg maintainer. It will be more recent than the plugin to be sure, but not usually as recent as the latest official Plex release. This isn't a problem except for those with a pathological need to have Plex updated up-to-the-minute, but there's still a delay (sometimes as much as a couple of weeks) in getting the package built and posted.

I used Shell within the Jail and used pkg update and that seem to update for now I will look into the Scripted Plex Installation @Basil Hendroff

Yeah, as we told you a year and a half ago, plugins really aren't a good way to go--and @Kris Moore is now agreeing, saying they're "all but deprecated" and will just bring you pain.

I've switch to updating plex via this script and don't look back since then.

i actually found out that even if I got the error plex did update to the current release that’s available in the plug-in store
