-====== FreeNAS - Update Plex Plugin ======
-===== Backup =====
-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>
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  The message will be slightly different depending on how you name your backup.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Update =====
-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>
-This should perform the update.
-----
-===== Restart Plex =====
-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.
-<WRAP info>
-**NOTE:**  Your Plex plugin is now updated to the latest version available from ixsystems.
-</WRAP>
-----
-===== Restore from Backup (Optional; If needed) =====
-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.
-----
-===== Alternative method to update Plex =====
-Leave the jail running and ssh into FreeNas.
-Once you do that, type "jls" into the command line.
-Your running jails will have ID numbers.
-Whatever jail ID your plex is running on, run the command "jexec 4 tcsh" (Change the number to whatever jail ID your plex is on).
-This will get you into your plex root.
-From there, run the command portsnap extract (might need to run "portsnap fetch" first, if you haven't used ports before).
-Once thats done scrolling and loading a ton of ports, run the command "portsnap fetch update".
-After that, command "cd /usr/ports/multimedia/plexmediaserver-plexpass" to get you into the directory you need to be in.
-Now run the command "make deinstall" Then finally run this command "cd /usr/ports/multimedia/plexmediaserver-plexpass/ && make install clean".
-This will install the latest version of plex.
-If your not running plexpass version of plex, just remove that text from the commands.
-Restart the jail for the changes to take effect.
