Plex Jail Repository Version

[Arkhen]

I'm curious if Plex server version 1.16.6.1592 is the latest in the repository, or if my server is unable to pull the latest updates available.
Running pkg update && pkg upgrade -y from the Plex jail's Shell says it's fully up-to-date.

If this is the latest available, is there a way to point the jail to a more up-to-date repository? I'm running on: FreeNAS-11.2-U6

Might be a silly question, but still being on 1.16.6.1592 when 1.18.2.2029 is available just got me wondering.

Thank you in advance!

1.18.1.1973_1 is the latest version for both Plex and PlexPass as of the Oct 30 update: https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/october-30-plugins-update/.

Did some digging. Hit pkg -vv in the jail's shell and it looked like I was pointed to the "quarterly" repository (which is default) and not the "latest".

So I SSH'd into my server via WinSCP to /mnt/<pool name>/iocage/jails/plexmediaserver/root/etc/pkg
Then edited a string in the file FreeBSD.conf to the below values":

Code:

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",

Restarted the jail and ran the update command (see first post) from shell and now everything is up-to-date.
Granted, not 1.18.2.2029, but I can live with 1.18.1.2019 and more frequent updates as opposed to 1.16.6.1592 and only quarterly. :)

Thanks! /thread
