how to upgrade plex running as jail

[georgelza]

Hi guys

How do I upgrade/deploy a new plex server / version.
when I'm on the jail it looks like the upgrade there actually upgrade the jail os and not the application contained or am i missing something.

here's one way

Manually updating Plex on FreeNAS, including PlexPass versions. -PMS_Updater.sh - CrackedConsole

Update Plex Media Server on your FreeNAS Server with out waiting for plugin updates. This works with Plex and Plex Pass versions! PMS_Updater script

What version are you running and what version do you want to upgrade to?

Are you running plugins or standard jails with a manual install?

 

[georgelza]

Currently running :
UI 5.14.23.0
Backend 5.14.23
Buildatag_5.14.23_13880

I see current is 6.7.1
Would like it to operate like the Plex, upgrade to whatever is the newest.
I looks as if it is a Jail.

Code:

pkg install unifi6

you won' t get the very latest .. but closer than you are now

download backup before upgrading

I see current is 6.7.1

The "unifi5" package is precisely at 5.14.23. See https://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/unifi5/
You would need to install the "unifi6" package instead which is at 6.1.71 to get version 6. See https://www.freshports.org/net-mgmt/unifi6/

Anything you do in TrueNAS jails depends on the FreeBSD packages, not on anything released by Ubiquiti. If the FreeBSD packages are behind Ubiquiti's releases, the right person to address is the ports maintainter for that particular port, not the TrueNAS community. You can find the email address of the maintainer at the Freshports link.

HTH,
Patrick

would i create a new jail, or can I pkg add in the same jail ?

[Patrick M. Hausen]

If you pkg install unifi6 in the current jail, it will most probably uninstall unifi5 automatically, because packages regularly have "conflicts" definitions that tell the system they cannot coexist. If your current jail is the plugin, though, I cannot tell you what that command will do. I don't use the plugins at all for precisely the reason that I want to be able to run pkg upgrade without ill side effects.

When I upgraded to version 6 I just ran pkg delete unifi5 followed by pkg install unifi6 and everything just worked. This was in a standard jail and not a plugin.

 

[georgelza]

... trying to remember how I installed it... somehow can't find my notes, but sure it's just a jail I build and then pkg installed it.
here it goes...

[georgelza]

... so pkg upgrade, even though it ran did not upgrade to 6...
so here goes pkg delete unifi5 and pkg install unifi6.

[georgelza]

... damm, page opens, but don't allow me to click on anything... need to import my backup to restore setup... :(

 

[Patrick M. Hausen]

so pkg upgrade, even though it ran did not upgrade to 6

Of course not. unifi5 and unifi6 are two different packages. Possibly the Unifi documentation lists additional steps you need to perform after an upgrade from version 5 to version 6.

I used this method to go from 5 to 6: https://lazyadmin.nl/home-network/migrate-unifi-controller/

It was easy and understandable, and used Unifi built-in facilities to achieve the migration.

 

[georgelza]

thanks, will have a look.

love how yo say of course not, as if everyone just knew that the pkg upgrade is not everything needed... if you knew... how about saying so ...

[georgelza]

Curious... did this and when i logged in it still showed a unifi5 version number, but the dashboard changed, did not show any of my previous devices etc, and also for some reason did not allow me to click on any link.

for now I'm deleting 6 and reinstalling 5, and restoring my back (2 days old).
