YAMS Forum

So with the recent update to the mobile Plex app, it is no longer compatible with my Plex Server version so I need to update it. I have been ignoring 'new version is available' message for a while but clearly I can no longer do that.

I was looking up guides on how to do this but then saw that watchtower was supposed to be doing this automatically. It is however not doing that. I have not touched its config in the yaml file

I've also restarted the watchtower container but to no avail

Any tips on how to get watchtower to run? I feel like this would be better than trying to manually update Plex

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I couldn't see anything for watchtower

Hey @tdog!

That's weird. Is plex tagged by any chance? Look at your docker definition, right about here: https://gitlab.com/rogs/yams/-/blob/mas ... e=heads#L4

Is it pinned to a specific version?

Anyways, to trigger a manual update you can run:

yams stop
docker compose pull -f /your/install/location/docker-compose.yaml
yams restart

Cheers!

Roger.

Hey @rogs!

I think you're onto something here

I don't suppose the 'media service' attribute needs to change right? Or is it perhaps due to the network mode which is not compatible with watchtower?

Nope, that looks perfect! Then Watchtower is not working on your setup, for some reason

Just run the small snippet I sent you and you should be updated!

I've tried running the compose command but it's giving me the following notification, any ideas?
Also interesting that it says my yaml files are obsolete

You can safely ignore the warnings.

I thought -f would work... Hmmm...

Then try this:

yams stop
cd /your/install/location/
docker compose pull
yams start

It didn't seem to pull in anything for Plex. After executing yams start, the Plex container took very long so I stopped it using CTRL+C as I assumed it got stuck.

So I executed those three commands again in the same order but now I get a different error.

I don't know why, but I can't see your pictures. Can you send them again?

Yeah no problem, hope it works this time

Ok, I see that the pull was successful. It seems like that's the latest version of Plex pushed by the LinuxServer team? Can you run docker image ls and see the age of the Plex image?
