Updating Cloudbox Apps

The info below will show you how to update your Cloudbox apps, individually.

Notes

• To update Cloudbox as a whole (i.e. the core part and all the default roles), see Updating Cloudbox.

• Do not update the following apps within the app itself: Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, NZBGet, Ombi, Jackett, NZBHydra2, and Bazarr. If you do you may get the following error: Update process failed: Cannot install update because startup folder '/app' is not writable by the user 'hotio'.

Update to a newer version

Cloudbox Apps	How to update
Plex	Ansible tag
PlexPy/Tautulli	Ansible tag
Plex AutoScan [1]	Ansible tag
Sonarr	Ansible tag
Radarr	Ansible tag
NZBGet	Ansible tag
ruTorrent	Ansible tag
Jackett	Ansible tag
NZBHydra2	Ansible tag
PlexRequests	Update within the app
Ombi	Ansible tag
Organizr	Update within the app
Portainer	Ansible tag
Cloudplow [1]	Ansible tag
Emby	Ansible tag

"How to update" options:

• "Ansible tag"

  See the next section on how to update Cloudbox apps via their Ansible tag.

• "Update within the app"

  You can simply update within the app itself. Changes will persist after docker restarts.

• "Container restart"

  This means that the Docker container will auto-update the app on container restart. Currently nothing by cloudbox is updated in this way.

  docker stop <name> && docker start <name>
  

  or

  docker restart <name>
  

  Note: It's recommended to use docker stop/start <container> vs docker restart <container>, to prevent corrupting data, especially on apps like ruTorrent.

Ansible tags to update apps

When in doubt, you can always rerun the relevant Ansible tag to update the app.

PlexPy/Tautulli	plexpy
Sonarr	sonarr
Radarr	radarr
NZBGet	nzbget

NZBHydra2	nzbhydra2
Plex Autoscan	plex_autoscan
Plex Requests - Meteor	plexrequests

Instructions:

Master branch

1. Go to ~/cloudbox/

   cd ~/cloudbox
   

2. Run the tag command:

   sudo ansible-playbook cloudbox.yml --tags TAG
   

   Replace TAG with one of the above tags from the table.

   You can also run multiple tags, by placing them next to each other, separated by a comma, without spaces (e.g. --tags TAG1,TAG2).

   Note: If the App is a docker container, running the update tag will rebuild and update the container.

Develop branch

1. Run the tag command:

   cb install TAG
   

   Replace TAG with one of the above tags from the table.

   You can also run multiple tags, by placing them next to each other, separated by a comma, without spaces (e.g. --tags TAG1,TAG2).

   Note: If the App is a docker container, running the update tag will rebuild and update the container.

   Note: If you modified the container with flags like plex_name, you'll need to do the same thing here.

¹ You can also go into the /opt/appname folder and git pull the latest updates. Be sure to install the requirements.txt modules and then restart the service after.
