But as Plex releases new updates fairly often, I just want to make sure I can update the software this way.Īnd that's my question. There is an option in the server software, to do an update. But with the method I used, this is not an option. , meaning that in the future, when I run a sudo apt upgrade, also the Plex software will be updated. When using the first method, I should install plex with sudo apt install plexmediaserver

deb package from their website, copied it to the RPI on an external drive attached via SMB, then ran a sudo dpkg -i plexmediaserver_1.-c43dc0277_bĮverything works fine, aparently.

I've asked about this in the official Plex forum, but no answers.
