Updating Iocage Plex

[we7313]

I just updated to 11.2.
I installed the plugin for plex which was version 1.14.1.5488.
I then opened the Freenas shell and did an update: iocage update plex
I then restart the jail.
The plex server still at
1.14.1.5488.
This is not a browser cache issue.
Is this the correct way to update the plugin?

That won’t update the plugin, just patch the jails version of the OS. You need to wait until there is an updated plugin or manually install plex in a vanilla jail.

or change your jails to fetch latest greatest instead of quarterly

If you would like to change to the latest repo to get faster updates to Plex than every month or so you can do that by creating the following file.

Code:

mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
vi /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

copy/paste following into FreeBSD.conf

Code:

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

I added the file above and the:
FreeBSD: {
url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest"
}
to the .conf file.
How to I force it to look for the latest updates? Or when will it?

Run pkg upgrade after you added the override.

That was it, thanks.

Hey there, just registered to say thank you! I used your commands to fix my plex issue. although i ended up using EE instead of VI as the EE editor was a lot simpler to use than VI through the built in TrueNAS shells.
