"Upgrading" a plug-in?

[papakpmartin]

I just upgraded via the UI from FreeNAS latest to TrueNAS-12.0-RC1.

I attempted to update my plexmediaserver-plexpass plug-in using the UI, but I get this message:

Error: Major ABI change detected, please run 'upgrade' instead.​

Should there be UI to let me "Upgrade"?

I thought maybe it could only be done if the plug-in was stopped, but that made no difference.

Upgrading is done from the shell, something like iocage upgrade jailname -r 12.1-RELEASE as per the manual:

Thanks... FWIW, I had to run it twice for it to "take". The first run ended like this:

Code:

[plex] [62/62] Deinstalling xvid-1.3.7,1...
[plex] [62/62] Deleting files for xvid-1.3.7,1: ........ done
Installing new pkgs...
Repo: iocage-plugins already exists, skipping!

Testing Host DNS response to pkg.FreeBSD.org
Testing plex's SRV response to pkg.FreeBSD.org
pkg.FreeBSD.org's SRV record could not be verified.

Which is weird because I could ping that domain from my network, and it did work the second time.

Still, I kind of have the same question... why isn't there UI to do this? Users aren't asked to drop to the command line for a normal update, or to manage mount points, though those could be done by command line, too. If upgrading is a one-liner, why not have a button?

In some cases, the upgrade may require user interaction, e.g. to prompt for confirmation or to resolve merge conflicts.
For this reason, the upgrade button was removed from the UI some time back.
