Hy guys,

I need a hand. I have a problem with all my Ubuntu LXC installed via script, PLEX in the first place. The 22.10 verion of ubuntu is not available anymore so I can't update my Plex setup. I have tried to upgrade repositorys and force an upgrade but every time Plex not working anymore. I'm lucky that Proxmox has a backup system.

Do you have any suggestion?

Usign the Plex script inside the container:
[ERROR] in line 63: exit code 100: while executing command apt-get update &> /dev/null

I think the reason is:

Maybe Backup your files and create a New LXC Container with the New Ubuntu Version / LTS Version :)

Isn't impossible of course, but I would prefer to continue to use the script in future. And I can't if I'm build my own lxc

Just test the Upgrade command in Terminal:

sudo do-release-upgrade -c

I have tried two times but during the upgrade process al the plex related software was removed. And of course the script does not work on a new configured LXC.

does that mean the upgrade itself works? So then all you have to do is install the Plex packages. I think that should work

X-Anonymous-Y Nov 8, 2023

Please try this after the upgrade

Installing dependencies

apt-get install -y curl
apt-get install -y sudo
apt-get install -y mc

If it is an "Unprivileged container" run:

Setting Up Hardware Acceleration

apt-get -y install va-driver-all ocl-icd-libopencl1
apt-get install -y intel-opencl-icd

  /bin/chgrp video /dev/dri
  /bin/chmod 755 /dev/dri
  /bin/chmod 660 /dev/dri/*

If is an "Privileged container" run from here and ignore the Above code:

Setting Up Plex Media Server Repository

rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plex*
wget -qO- https://downloads.plex.tv/plex-keys/PlexSign.key >/etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/PlexSign.asc
echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture)] https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/ public main" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list

Installing Plex Media Server

apt-get update
apt-get -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" install -y plexmediaserver

Cleaning up

apt-get autoremove
apt-get autoclean

I hope this helps you. If not, I hope that others can help you... Plex is not my thing :) but that's how Plex is currently installed using the script from tteck ;)

and sorry for my bad english :/

!!! and run the above commands with root user or with a user with sudo privilegs!

X-Anonymous-Y Nov 8, 2023

Another option is maybe to copy data to new LXC

# Use to copy all data from one Plex Media Server LXC to another

# run from the Proxmox Shell

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tteck/Proxmox/main/misc/copy-data/plex-copy-data-plex.sh)"

I've tried to do do upgrade and than followed the commands for my privileged LXC. After the reboot I can clearly see that plex is running

`systemctl status plexmediaserver.service

But it's not reachable. If I visit the web UI of my LXC container I get an error from Plex where it's writen that I don't have the authorization to use it. I had tried from my desktop, my smartphon via chrome and via plex app.. nothing, always the same as before
