Auto update plexmediaserver on Slackware 14.2
by naposky from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50QM5)
Hello folks,
It's been a while I use plexmediaserver on Slackware 14.2 - AMD64 (not my own server tbh), and it's always a pain in the ass for me to update it manually by going through download of sources, launch the build, the upgradepkg and to restart.
Depends of periods, Plex can have a lot of updates, and I like to always have latests versions with latests features, mostly because I have Plex Pass.
To those people who are maybe feel the same way, i've actually coded a small project on github which is simply called "slack-autoplexupdate".

It will add a layer over the official Slackbuild to catch the latest update, build it for you and automatically restart your service. It will clean old builds too.
Feel free to use it or to adapt it for your needs. I know it's clearly not perfect but if it can give you more time for interesting things ;)
P.S : Yup, I think it's rare a post about givin' a solution, and not ask a question ^^"
Cheers,
NapoSky
