Updating Plex in 2.4

[crtsf Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close crtsf]

I received an email from Plex saying they will no longer support their server that’s in Vortexbox 2.4. They indicate that in order to work with updated apps, the server must be 1.15.2 or newer whereas the latest version in Vortexbox 2.4 is 1.13.0.1.5023. The last few times I’ve attempted to update the VB software via the GUI it shows nothing was changed so I assume it’s no longer actively supported. Is there a way to manually update to the minimum required Plex server? I am not knowledgeable about Linux so I would appreciate any guidance that is as straightforward and simple as possible. Thanks.

Hi - did you manage to update your install to v2.5 beta?

If not and you can use a remote console (or directly in the console on the vortexbox if you have a monitor installed) - the commands you need to upgrade the vortexbox and plex are below:

---------------
UPGRADE TO VORTEXBOX 2.5

dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade

dnf -y system-upgrade download --releasever=25 --nogpgcheck --allowerasing

dnf system-upgrade reboot

---------------
UPGRADE PLEX

dnf install https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-media...236.x86_64.rpm

---------------

I hope that helps!
