-====== FreeNAS - Update Plex Plugin ======
-Before updating the plugin, its a good idea to make a backup of the jail containing the plugin in case something goes wrong.
-Go to the Jails menu option in the FreeNAS console and look for the name of the plugin you are to upgrade, the name will be listed in the jail column.
-{{:freenas:freenas_-_jail_-_plex_server.png?800|}}
-In this case, the jail is called **PlexServer**.
-Navigate to the **Shell** menu in the FreeNAS console and run the command:
-<code bash>
-iocage snapshot -n snapname jailname
-</code>
-Change snapname to whatever you want to call the backup of the jail and change jailname to the name of your plugin listed in the jail.
-So I will be running the command:
-<code bash>
-iocage snapshot -n PlexServer_backup PlexServer
-</code>
-If everything works correctly, you should get the message:
-<code bash>
-Snapshot: /Storage/iocage/jails/PlexServer@PlexServer_backup created
-</code>
-The message will be slightly different depending on how you name your backup.
-Now you are ready to update your plugin to the latest version
-Navigate to the **Plugins -> Installed** menu in FreeNAS and get the name of name of the plugin, once again the name can be found in the Jails column.
-Again, the name of my Plex jail is PlexServer.
-Go back to the Shell menu in FreeNAS and run the command:
-<code bash>
-iocage update jailname
-</code>
-  * where jail_name is the name of the jail
-So I will be running the command:
-<code bash>
-iocage update PlexServer
-</code>
-If everything works correctly, your shell should show the following:
-The last step in the process is to start the jail again.
-Navigate to the **Jails** menu in FreeNAS, click on the three vertical dots and select the start option in the menu.
-Your Plex plugin is now updated to the latest version available from ixsystems.
-If the upgrade fails for some reason and you need to back to the old version, run the commands in order:
-<code bash>
-iocage stop jailname
-iocage snaplist jailname
-iocage rollback -n snapname jailname
-</code>
-where:
-  * **jailname** is the name of your jail.
-  * **snapname** is the name of the jail backup we originally created.
