FreeNAS Experienced
The ports tree is great but sometimes can take awhile to update to the latest version. I use the web version of plex a lot and the update nagging forced me to figure this out. I discovered there is no other good tutorial to accomplish this. So here you have it. First you want to be ssh'd into your FreeNAS Host. Use putty or your favorite terminal to do this. Then we enter the plex jail.
You need to have wget and nano installed so. pkg install nano wget Then for ease switch to your PMS directory, for me this is /usr/local/plexdata-plexpass but for you it may be /usr/local/plexdata or something. cd /usr/local/plexdata-plexpass Then we need to get the latest version of Plex from the plex.tv website, https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/ at the time of this writing its 1.13.9.5439. Select FreeBSD, right click the download button and select 'copy link address'. Then at the Plex jail's terminal do. wget <paste the above copied link here> Then we get the script. Big thanks to mstinaff over at github. As it stands its written to only update the plugin version (PBI) so we update it for our use. This is where you need to know if you have standard (plexmediaserver) or (plexmediaserver_plexpass) installed. You probably already know which version you have. Do.. nano PMS_Updater.sh Paste in this script. Its set for the plexpass version. If you don't have plexpass, search and replace instances of plexmediaserver-plexpass and plexmediaserver_plexpass with just plexmediaserver.
Then do CTRL+X, enter, enter to Save file and exit NANO. Then we make our script executable by chmod +x PMS_Updater.sh Now its time for the magic, run the command, take care to make the proper edits. Include your plex.tv login credentials if you have plexpass. ./PMS_Updater.sh -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -vv -a AS TIME GOES ON THIS COMMAND WILL CHANGE WITH PLEX VERSIONS. Substitute whatever .tar.bz file was download above. Look by doing a ls and use that filename to complete the above command. You should now have the latest version not yet in the ports tree. Cheers hope this helps you!
PMS_Updater.sh is a shell script for updating the Plex Media Server inside the FreeNAS Plex plugin
This script has been updated to work in a iocage jail in FreeNAS 11.2. Please ensure you have wget and ca_root_nss installed. To do so, from inside the jail (iocage exec plex csh) just run 'pkg install wget' and the same for ca_root_nss.
Copy the file into the root of the directory however you like and you can then run it from within the jail to update it. Thanks to @sretalla at the FreeNAS forums for all the help provided.
FreeNAS is an excellent open-source network attached storage project based on FreeBSD that is very capable of storing even the largest media libraries
Plex is an amazing media server/client platform that can organize and stream those same media libraries.
FreeNAS has a plug-in architecture that makes running Plex Media Server on FreeNAS trivialy easy. But the available Plex Media Server plug-in is only as recent as the latest publicly available release.
To address this I have made a script that can be copied into a running Plex Media Server plug-in, and without needing anything else installed it can search the Plex.tv download site using paid PlexPass credentials and check for newer versions. If a newer version is found it can either be downloaded and held for admin approval or automatically installed to the server.
Running without the username/password or bad username/password will retrieve the latest public release rather than the latest Plex Pass release.
The script can also be called from a cronjob to check for updates on a regular schedule.
The script requires wget and perl5 to properly work if you are working in something like a FreeBSD jail that doesn't come supplied with these packages.
Plex Media Server is renowned for smooth and intuitive user experience, so you might be a bit surprised if you find yourself puzzled over exactly how to restart your server. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
Where’s the *@%^ing Restart Button?
If you’re a regular Plex user, you’ve gotten well used to interacting with your Plex Media Server through the web-based GUI—the place where you can handle all sorts of tasks like setting up remote access, sharing your library with friends, and optimizing your media, among other routine tasks and enhancements.
While you can do nearly anything from within the Plex interface, there’s one thing you may have noticed: there’s no reset button. No button, no toggle, no link, not a single reference to start, stopping, or restarting the Plex Media Server to be found anywhere in any of the system menus.
Now, the reason they are stored in different tables and not in one table is: Please refer the article 'Moving ahead, one might ask why am I dedicating a post (though a small one) to describing what a Northwind Database is all about.The reason being as follows:. Ms access source wordpress.com. Invoices – details of the invoice raised against the order.Entity/TransactionsNo. Of TablesSuppliers1Customers1Employees3Products1Inventory2Shippers1PO Transactions3Sales Transactions7Others (Strings)1All these information is held in different tables. The tables have been appropriately named – hence you wont have a problem identifying which table contains which information.
As baffling at that might seem at first, it’s actually a clever way to ensure server stability: you can only restart Plex Media Server if you’re either sitting at the computer it is running on, because that’s the only way to ensure you can turn it back on. If you’re accessing your Plex install through the web GUI away from home (like say on a business trip) and you accidentally shut it down then the server is off until you get home to start it back up again.
How to Restart Your Plex Media Server
So if you can’t restart it from the web control panel, then how do you get the job done? How you restart Plex Media Server varies significantly depending on the system you’re running it on, ranging from the kludgy to the useful. On Windows and macOS, there is no dedicated restart function, and you’re left simply quitting the application and starting it again.
Manually Update Plex Server On Freenas
Look for the Plex icon in the Windows system tray (or the macOS menu bar).
Select “Exit” to safely shut down the server.
Relaunch the application as you normally would using a shortcut in your Start Menu, Dock, or the like to fire it up.
Manually Update Plex Freenas
If you’re running Plex Media Server on a unix-like platform like Linux or FreeBSD, you’ll start, stop, and restart your Plex Media Server from the command line. The following self-explanatory commands trigger each event:
The command-based approach is significantly more flexible because it allows you, if you wish, to set up a cron job to schedule when your server is started, stopped, or restarted.
Cherno, Electro to kill newbies. End-Game– Find Land to claim.– Gather Supplies.– Build a base with even more Sandbags, barb wire and tank traps.– Go out Raiding other bases! The main Airfield to kill equally geared players.– Hit the industrial areas to also find more military grade ammo.– A Ghillie Suit, Night Vision Goggles and a Range Finder will also be very useful. Easy way to see if its repairable is if it can be entered or not which then tells you what parts need repair.– Once you have a Vehicle drive around to all the Supermarkets and High Residential spawn areas to find a tent.– Fortify a camp with your tent surrounded by Sandbags, barb wire and tank traps to stop vehicles from running over your tent and destroying everything.– Make sure to save your tent and vehicle by mouse wheel menu and then choose Save.Bandit– Grab a military weapon/ammo and go to any location you want and set up shop to kill people who are passing through.
If you’re running Plex Media Server on a storage appliance like a Synology NAS, you’ll typically find a place within the dashboard of the appliance itself (not the Plex GUI) to restart the Plex application. Synology, for example, has a “package manager” on their devices and you can use the “Action” menu for individual packages to start and stop them, as seen below.
Because most storage appliances are running a NIX-like environment under their GUI’s, you can often set up a cron-like-job—here’s an example from the Synology forum where someone used the Task Scheduler built into the device to schedule a start/stop sequence to restart their Plex Media Server on a schedule.
Freenas Update Plugins
With the mystery of the missing restart button solved, you’ll know just where to look the next time you need to restart your Plex Media Server.
