Plex Media Server

• Version: 1.43.0.10492-121068a07

Auto Updates

Plex is updated automatically via the official Plex apt repository and Debian's built-in apt-daily-upgrade.timer.

• Repo: deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/plexmediaserver.v2.gpg] https://repo.plex.tv/deb/ public main
• Sources list: /etc/apt/sources.list.d/plexmediaserver.list
• GPG key: /etc/apt/keyrings/plexmediaserver.v2.gpg (PlexSign.v2.key)
• Update mechanism: apt-daily.timer fetches package lists, apt-daily-upgrade.timer installs upgrades (both run daily via systemd)

Previously used the third-party plexupdate script (/opt/plexupdate/plexupdate.sh via /etc/cron.daily/plexupdate), which downloaded .deb files directly from plex.tv. This was removed on 2026-03-13 in favor of the official apt repo after Plex announced deprecation of the old update method.

NFS Media Mounts (via TrueNAS DATA_50 network)

All mounts use NFS 4.2 with nconnect=4,async,_netdev,nofail,x-systemd.automount.

Mount Point	NFS Export
/mnt/nfs/Movies	truenas-nfs:/mnt/mypool/share/Media/Movies
/mnt/nfs/TV	truenas-nfs:/mnt/mypool/share/Media/TV
/mnt/nfs/Anime	truenas-nfs:/mnt/mypool/share/Media/Anime

truenas-nfs resolves via /etc/hosts to multiple TrueNAS DATA_50 IPs (10.50.0.25–28) for NFS multipathing.
