Update to 4.0.0.2 on FreeNAS


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hello,

 

This thread can serve as an experience blog on how to update your emby jail. As i have  installed the emby server a good 100 times I can share some of my experience.

 

Personally I performed the updates this morning and it took less than 5 minutes.

 

In order to make sure i don't touch my production server (jail), i always create a new server (new jail) and copy my data over, test, and go live. (with rsync 1.5gb database 10 seconds of copying)

 

If you are coming from 3.6.0.0 to 3.6.0.56  i can only recommend going the first route as the database is already updated and the folder structure is the same, you just need to know where your jails are saved and then its ez pz. (its always good where your precious data is, maybe make a snapshot of them or copy them to an unrelated location)

 

# Starting Fresh and copying the DB (Creating a new jail and copying over my settings)

I created a new jail: (creates a new jail just called emby-server)

#stable
cd /tmp
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ma-karai/iocage-plugin-emby/master/emby-server.json
iocage fetch -P dhcp=on vnet=on bpf=yes allow_raw_sockets=1 -n emby-server.json --branch 'master' 

added my storage via the gui and rsynced over my settings directory with.

                # old location                                                    # new location
rsync -vrlpogth /mnt/evo/iocage/jails/emby-server-beta75/root/var/db/emby-server/ /mnt/evo/iocage/jails/emby-server/root/var/db/emby-server/

DONE.

 

# Updated a Beta server running 3.6.0.56

Since i knew i was already with the new database it was quite straight forward. only thing i had to do was add the libraw package that was newly added at somepoint, and update

 

login to your emby-beta-jail shell (with gui or with iocage console YOURJAILNAME) then

pkg install libraw

service emby-server stop
pkg add -f https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.0.0.2/emby-server-freebsd_4.0.0.2_amd64.txz
service emby-server start

Restart the jail

 

DONE

 

# Updated a Beta server running 3.6.0.75

 

log into the shell of the jail and

service emby-server stop
pkg add -f https://github.com/MediaBrowser/Emby.Releases/releases/download/4.0.0.2/emby-server-freebsd_4.0.0.2_amd64.txz
service emby-server start

I updated from 3.6.0.76 to 4.0.0.1 (with the plugin updates and repeat library scan and switch to Emby TV guide) a few days ago and then to 4.0.0.2 yesterday...quick process, all working well.

I updated from 3.6.0.79 and so far all seems great. Pages and videos are quick to load. No playback issues to report from any clients on LAN or WAN. Library scans complete MUCH faster. Great work guys!

Thanks for the feedback !

 

FYI - we should have 4.0 stable submitted to FreeBSD ports by the weekend.

Do i need the libraw install on .73?

should already be installed. Just update the pkg if you get an error message at the end stating you need libraw, install libraw and then repeat. :D

3.6.0.86 > 4.0.0.2 is as simple as this. Thanks @@makarai

Luke, any chance you guys can bring back the number count of how many movies there are in the movies tab on the next release?

Posted

He mentioned in another thread it will be in the next update.

Posted

It will come back in the near future with the addition of virtual scrolling. Thanks.

Why is there no 4.1 beta release for Freebsd?

Posted

FreeBSD is more complicated than the other platforms. Occasionally it can run a little bit behind. Thank you for your patience.

Cool, just wanted to make sure it wasn't being dropped!

Sorry if this is obvious, but I can just go from 3.5.3.0 straight to 4.0.0.2, right?

Posted

Orcist,

 

Going from 3.5.3.0 to 4.x will require “pkg install libraw” before you run the pkg add -f command.
