PMS_Updater.sh is a shell script for updating the Plex Media Server inside the FreeNAS Plex plugin
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.
To use run PMS_Updater.sh as root. The following options can be used:
OPTIONS:
-l Local file to install instead of latest from Plex.tv
-d download folder (default /tmp) Ignored if -l is used
-a Auto Update to newer version
-f Force Update even if version is not newer
-r Remove update packages older than current version
Done before any update actions are taken.
-v Verbose
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.
