[HELP ME] How update PLEX?

You should read the documentation for the image you linked to. If the proper Tag is used, all that is necessary to check for and install the most current version of Plex is to restart the container.

I use Ouroboros to update my dockers.

once deployed, you must stop it, and run only when need an update, and once done stop it again

eg:

You should try this location instead: image: ghcr.io/linuxserver/plex:latest

I use Stacks in Portainer

Code:

So I edited my yaml file from:

Code

version: "2.1"
services:
  plex:
    image: plexinc/pms-docker
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host
    ...
    ...

to

Code

version: "2.1"
services:
  plex:
    image: plexinc/pms-docker:latest
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host
    ...
    ...

and I restarted the stack.

Nothing has been updated, I just lost the previous configuration!

You change to the stack does nothing, as :latest is assumed automatically, if you do not specify a tag. To check if a new image is available, use the pull image option in portainer.

If you last your config, you messed with the volumes or did not provide any volumes so the config gets lost every time you restart the container.

Check the docs of your docker image.

That's exactly what I did gderf !

No you did not. If you do not read and understand the documentation Tags section you will continue to make mistakes.

Maybe if I paste it here you will actually read it?

Tags

In addition to the standard version and latest tags, two other tags exist: plexpass and public. These two images behave differently than your typical containers. These two images do not have any Plex Media Server binary installed. Instead, when these containers are run, they will perform an update check and fetch the latest version, install it, and then continue execution. They also run the update check whenever the container is restarted. To update the version in the container, simply stop the container and start container again when you have a network connection. The startup script will automatically fetch the appropriate version and install it before starting the Plex Media Server.

The public restricts this check to public versions only where as plexpass will fetch Plex Pass versions. If the server is not logged in or you do not have Plex Pass on your account, the plexpass tagged images will be restricted to publicly available versions only.

I had already read it gderf .

The fact is that, having a Plex Pass, I had chosen to install with :latest tag for convenience.

In the first installation I omitted the tag because I know that if no tag is specified by default the container uses the :latest tag.

Do you advise me to change tag?

Should I use the tag :plexpass?

If you read and understood the documentation you would know that using the :latest tag is not the correct choice.

Maybe you need to read it again?

Can you elaborate on this? I use ouroboros too, but I didn't know I had to keep it stopped.?! What's the point of having it, if it doesn't update them automatically?!

Also, I have this in ouroboros logs, since I saw that there is newer plex to be installed, and my ouroboros didn't do a thing about it:

2022-01-11 11:18:51 : INFO : dockerclient : swag will be updated

2022-01-11 11:18:58 : INFO : dockerclient : jackett will be updated

2022-01-11 11:19:03 : INFO : dockerclient : plex will be updated

So, how to make it do it's thing?!

How do you have Plex tagged in your environments at VERSION=?

docker

Ok mate, I understood

What did you understand, cause I'm confused af

Zitat von shecky66

Installed and updated!

Thanks to everyone, especially to gderf

Basically calls you and idiot and you thank you him,

What did you understand, cause I'm confused af

basically he is telling him to go read the documentation on docker, which i understand you cant help people by giving them the answer they need to figure it out for themselves, but a better solution would have probably guide him to find the solution at least that way other who come here looking for an answer will have an easier time.
