Updating Plex

[csearle]

I updated from freenas to truenas today and revived a notification that there was an update for Plex, so I went to update Plex and I got an error and told me to upgrade instead how does one upgrade a Jail?

 

[Jailer]

Standard jail or plugin?

 

[csearle]

well I went to update the plugin and the service asked if I wanted to update the jail as well

unless it's changed, the Plex plugin was stuck on 11.something jail version.. and you'd have to install plex manually in a 12.2 jail to be able to keep both plex and your IOCage jail up to date

 

[csearle]

So basically uninstall and reinstall?

 

[ThreeDee]

pretty much .. you can leave the plugin installed until you get your manual install of plex installed if you wanted to ..just designate a different IP address for it of course ..

That seems odd. My Plex plugin install is at 12.1-RELEASE-p13. I think you should search the forums a bit. There have been talks about this and the iocage upgrade command

Brain fart on my part (Hey! That Rhymes!) . .it is 12.1 that it's stuck on.. running the iocage upgrade will say successful to 12.2, but the jail will still say 12.1

Same here. Even within Plex it says i am on 12.2-RELEASE-p6. Only TrueNAS still states it is 12.1-RELEASE-p13. Go figure.

I don't use plugins for exactly these reasons, always roll my own jails. Easy to upgrade.

What I suspect: the jail was upgraded successfully, so you are running 12.2-p6 inside the jail. You can check that with freebsd-version inside the jail.
Yet, iocage records the version in the jail's config file: /mnt/<jail pool>/iocage/<jail name>/config.json.

Probably the two are out of sync for some reason.

I am currently running Release 11.3-RELEASE-p14 for my Plex plugin, however I can install another instance of Plex.. Is this because I dont have and updated Plugin or is this normal?

 

[ThreeDee]

don't install plex via the plug ins .. do a manual install

 

[csearle]

I'll have to investigate how to manually install plex, what's the difference installing plex manually?

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

what's the difference installing plex manually?

You can at any time update the jails base operating system: iocage update <jailname>. And you can at any time update Plex and all related packages: pkg update; pkg upgrade.

Which to me seems to be the main cause of complaints about plugins by users. Plugins get updated when the plugin maintainer finds time to do that. The FreeBSD base system as well as the packages do much more frequently.

 

[csearle]

Good enough reason

Nope, both the config.json and the "freebsd-version" command show 12.1-RELEASE-p13. Beats me why Plex shows 12.2-RELEASE-p6

Well, if Plex uses uname instead of freebsd-version, it will get the kernel version of the running system. Which is indeed 12.2-p6, the version of your TrueNAS. Did you say that you looked in Plex for the version? Maybe I overlooked that, but that's why I always insist people post all the details ...

Yes, i added a screenshot of the Plex entry in the post.
