Updating plex on Fedora
-
Perfect timing on this. I have had Plex running on Ubuntu (virtual) and it is time for a hardware refresh. Thought about re-installing on Fedora because I normally use it for everything else. It is the only software that my wife actually cares about, and she manages the movie library. The library is on a NAS so I don't even have to worry about it.

Got the script part done. Just need to create schedule for it.
https://gitlab.com/black3dynamite/scripts/blob/master/Plex/Upgrade-Plex.shI assume you could expand this to other systems. But I never checked.

@black3dynamite There was an update over night it seems.

@black3dynamite I don't like the
clear. I hate shit that nukes my scroll history. Obviously as something meant to be automated, that should not even matter.Just a personal preference.

So many trial by error creating the script, I added the clear command just for convenience.

What are the benefits of systemd over cron considering cron is/seems more simple?

Most notably is that
cronis not even installed on modern Fedora systems.Cron is not really any more or less simple. There are simply decades of examples.

@JaredBusch Understood. Systemd definitely looks like it has a lot more flexibility and options. I'm going to switch some cron jobs over and see how it goes.

Out of curiosity, what resources are you assigning to your Plex server vm (assuming it's a VM). How many concurrent streams and what types of streams (ie: 1080P, 4K, high/med/low bitrates)?

Right now its set up for Fedora and maybe CentOS 8.
