Checks for available Plex Media Server updates on Synology NAS, automatically downloads and installs them.
Can be set up as a scheduled task in DSM to run regularly. Can write log messages to Log Center.
Tested on DSM 6 and DSM 7.
Follow the instructions from Plex Support to set the package trust level on your NAS and import the package signing key from Plex Inc.
Important: do not skip this step otherwise automatic package installation will be forbidden by DSM 6. As of DSM 7, this setting does not appear to be necessary and available anymore.
Enter a root shell on your NAS (log in via SSH, then sudo -i) and run:
# mkdir -p /volume1/Scripts
# cd /volume1/Scripts
# wget -O syno-plex-update.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/YuriyGuts/syno-plex-update/master/syno-plex-update.sh
# chmod +x syno-plex-update.sh
In Control Panel > Task Scheduler, click Create > Scheduled Task > User-defined script:
bash /volume1/Scripts/syno-plex-update.sh
