How? I'm asking for educational reasons at this point. I'm relatively new to FreeNAS.Disable the iocage repo, enable the FreeBSD repo and then you can use pkg to update Plex.
I use the Plex plugin but do not rely on its updates. Simply use this with a cronjob and you're all set: https://github.com/mstinaff/PMS_Updater
To be honest, its all explained in that file but in broad steps, from memory:Would you be up to posting a step-by-step guide on how to do this for those of us that are FreeBSD challenged?
Thats for warden right? He's on 11.2BETA3. If he installed the plugin from the new UI its the new iocage jail format.To be honest, its all explained in that file but in broad steps, from memory:
jls to find the plex container
jexec into it
make a directory to hold the PMSUpdater script and download it with wget
edit it with i.e. nano to adapt to your needs.
then create a cronjob to run daily with crontab.
If that does not help, I'll check after work at home and give more details.
Sorry. my fault. I'm still on an older version but the only thing that should change is the way to access a jail. So basically replace jls and jexec with whatever the new methods would be, the rest should still be correct.Thats for warden right? He's on 11.2BETA3.

I think he's looking for "copy and past" simple... All he needs to do is A sit on his hands for a few weeks, or B build a new jail and instal Plex from either pkg or ports. There are !TONS! of threads about this already and even a few guides!
Perhaps it would make sense to sticky a post with links to commonly needed guides
the basic setup of a jail is covered in the User Guide. Once the jail is up, installing Plex viaI have built Plex from pkg on the old system. And no, guides for doing that were not easy to find even back then. Is that process exactly the same with the new system? Because I have created a new jail, log in, and neither pkg or ports are there. I understand why they are not there by default. But, I have no idea how to install them.
This is the second time recently that someone has referred to the millions of threads and guides. Yet, I can go back several pages here in the threads. I see many that are poking around similar subjects. But, not the information that I need.

pkg install plexmediaserver
should work as it always has (since it made it into the FreeBSD repos).Using google to search "FreeNAS install Plex in a jail" is probably a better way of finding what you need.Yet, I can go back several pages here in the threads.

iocage create --basejail --release=11.1-RELEASE --name=Plex bpf=yes vnet=on dhcp=on
iocage fstab -a Plex "/path/to your/media /media nullfs rw 0 0"
iocage start Plex

cd /usr/ports/multimedia/plexmediaserver-plexpass/ && make install clean

service plexmediaserver_plexpass start
