“Why not automate it?” I thought to myself. It’s not that bad, it saves all settings, just tedious to do. I had to manually download the file and basically reinstall PMS. I then set up the mounts for my Synology NAS where my movie folders are so they’re mounted at boot, installed PMS, configured libraries, did some customizations, and BOOM! Kids’ movies on my phone on the go! Sounds awesome! Why are you writing a post?Īfter a week or so, the web interface showed my server was out of date. In my home lab running ESXi through my VMUG Advantage EVALexperience (shameless plug, I know), I have an ubuntu VM I built specifically for PMS with 2 vCPUs & 4GB of RAM. It likely needs no introduction, but if you’d like to learn more, please click Plex Media Server to be taken to their site. Or maybe I'm doing something help me see and fix my mistake?Īdded: funny thing I see now is the plugins page says it's running Release: 12.1-RELEASE-p13, but if I look at the Jail Shell it says 12.2-RELEASE-p9.I’m sure many of you know of Plex Media Server (PMS) and how awesome it can be for letting your kids watch your movies on the go. Some things which might be useful to know:TrueNAS version: TrueNAS-12.0-U5.1Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400 CPU 2.90GHzMy network isn't complex, it's just your standard ISP router with only port forwarding enabled to my NextCloud jail, other than that nothing fancy.Plex was installed using the plugin page of TrueNAS and the install button leaving all settings the default.Plex is set to have his own IP address.I use OpenDNS as default DNS provider.Ĭan anyone help me restore the update jail/plugin as it clearly seems to be not working. Yet, I decided to go for TrueNAS because of the ease of use with the plugins. If you tell me what to do I can preform that just fine, but I'm clueless if I have to troubleshoot it on my own. Let me also say I'm an utter n00b when it comes to Linux/TrueNAS/FreeBSD. If I let TrueNAS do the updating, it says there are no updates available. If I look at the plugins I'm still on version 1. For a little while TrueNAS hasn't been updating my Plex Media Server.
