snorkel 15 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I searched the forum for repository and it seems like there is or was one, but when I go to: https://emby.media/linux-server.html It does not list any, just a .deb download. Also does the .deb include an init script so the emby media server will startup in the correct run level? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi, the .deb files are our newer way of doing things. We may setup a repository for them at some point but right now we're more focused on rolling out the build system to every platform we can. And yes as far as init, it will run under a user called emby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkel 15 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 Thanks Luke. On a side not I installed Emby (beta) on my windows 10 PC to play around and it's great. I feel ripped off that I bought a plex lifetime, I didn't even know about emby until today :-( Everything about your Livetv, dvr guide etc is superior.

snorkel 15 Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 Thanks for the feedback. No problem. I have it all setup on Linux with AMD 8 core FX 8350 @ 4gzh with 16gb ram and so far it's working really well. Very impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradford 5 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Will the deb package auto-upgrade? I like my current repo from opensuse because it upgrades with a simple apt command. If the deb manages upgrading itself, I'd definitely switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 No, you'd have to run the install command again to update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkel 15 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Once you install the .Deb there is an option to auto update, mine updates to the version that came out last Friday no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37065 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Once you install the .Deb there is an option to auto update, mine updates to the version that came out last Friday no problem. How exactly did you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMrZ 1 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I have the same question as Luke (and it's making me feel dumb). Mine hasn't updated - or given me an update available notice - since 3.2.34.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamMrZ 1 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Automatic updates on my server are enabled snorkel. Though nobody said anything about the Android app... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snorkel 15 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Not all the apps have access to the server dashboard and settings. I just installed a few days before the last version came out via the .Deb. The .Deb obviously does not give you the option to update, there is a scheduled task I would guess that does it. Look in the server settings. All I know is I installed the prior version and it updated by itself with no interaction from me other than making sure the auto update was enabled.

IamMrZ 1 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Web interface for me. I hear ya on auto update. Mine's enable but isn't working. Server is just chilling at 3.2.34.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamMrZ 1 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I was feeling dumb because I was being dumb. Update by installing the current version on top of my existing install: wget https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/releases/download/3.2.70.0/emby-server-deb_3.2.70.0_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.2.70.0_amd64.deb Not sure why auto-update wasn't working, but will keep an eye on it now and try to remember to report back.

bernado99 5 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Because this is the update procedure now for our new package installs. Bit of a Linux noob question I'm afraid but do I run wget https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby/releases/download/3.2.70.0/emby-server-deb_3.2.70.0_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i emby-server-deb_3.2.70.0_amd64.deb after stopping Emby server or with it running? If it does need to be done after stopping the service what is the best command to use to close Emby? Sorry, I did say I was a noob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it does need to be done after stopping the service what is the best command to use to close Emby? Sorry, I did say I was a noob! I think the package probably does restart the service if it's running, but I always stop it anyway: systemctl stop emby-server <upgrade> systemctl start emby-server 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bernado99 5 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Well I've tried upgrading via the above method but no joy, the package downloads successfully but I get an error message running the second install command. I've attached contents from the log but not sure if this is the info format you are looking for, as I say I'm learning this as I go.

bernado99 5 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Have you tried it a second time? I've tried several times with the same result. This was with after stopping the server then restarting after trying to upgrade, though I used sudo service emby-server stop as a command as the systemctl stop emby-server command above didn't seem to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
