I've noticed an odd behavior to the LXC Updater script with my plex media server LXC. Even though the server is only in the public update channel, it has pulled in a beta version of the server. Is this intended? Is there a way to avoid that? I'd love to keep using the auto update behavior but probably won't if there's not a way to fix this.

update script is just apt update && apt upgrade -y in a nutshell
it doesn't choose from beta or normal versions

That's what it looked like to me as well. So shouldn't it be looking at the server settings for the update channel?
karmic wraith
echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/PlexSign.asc] https://downloads.plex.tv/repo/deb/ public main" >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
its a official plex repo, main
what is this "beta" version you mention? which one is that?
karmic wraith
so what you're telling me i'm able to get beta versions for free (which usually require plex pass) by just updating from the official repo?
that really makes no sense
its either mistake on their part, or i really can't explain it
all the script does is apt update from their own repo
which should always have a latest stable
wind iron
Well no, I have Plex pass.
But I have the update channel on the server GUI set to the public
karmic wraith
yes, the same is set by the script... weird
wind iron
Agreed. I wouldn't have noticed it but the most recent beta release has a bug in it that's causing issues.

Note: Repository updating is currently only supported for public releases of Plex Media Server. It is not currently possible to use it for Plex Pass preview/beta releases.
we need to tell them otherwise? 🙂
wind iron
Yeah, I'll post on the Plex forums I suppose. Appreciate your insights

there must be something slipping through the cracks, or they updated the repo to have that beta version on it
