[glensc]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

You say you have deprecated armhf (As announced here),. but seems you really have REMOVED armhf support.

Typically deprecated means you can still use it. Perhaps correct the wording?

Expected Behavior

Using default tag: latest
latest: Pulling from linuxserver/plex
no matching manifest for linux/arm/v7 in the manifest list entries

Environment

- How docker service was installed:

CPU architecture

You can still use older builds though we suggest you don't.

[glensc]

I guess plex itself still provides builds for arm arch, so could build docker image locally?

[j0nnymoe]

Sure if you wanted to, but our armhf baseimages are no longer supported/maintained so any bugs won't be fixed.

[glensc]

seems PMS itself doesn't provide package anymore?

Armv7 is armhf.

[glensc]

So I've come up with something like this:

1. take latest linux-server/plexmediaserver armhf docker image
2. find latest. plexmediaserver package
3. install it to docker image, f.e.: docker build . --progress=plain -t plex:1.32.6.7557-1cf77d501
4. tag it locally and use that image

WARNING: Some jq and bash-foo to download if missing

You could just run the last latest image of our Plex container that works on armhf and just set the Version ENV to latest and providing you have plexpass connected, updates will get installed on container restart.

@j0nnymoe speaks of this script (thanks!):

• https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-plex/blob/1.32.6.7557-1cf77d501-ls189/root/etc/s6-overlay/s6-rc.d/init-plex-update/run

I prefer pre-built docker image, so re-creation wouldn't have to download and install. possibly faster startup, but definitely more predictable outcome.

Just be aware that at some point it's going to break because Plex will expect dependencies that don't exist in the armhf image, or are too out of date to be supported.
