Boinc and FreeNAS 11.1

[Bandion]

I am trying to install boinc in a jail, but the installation is failing.
I have followed the post below, but it is for FreeNAS 9.3 and no longer works.

and of course i failed at saving the errors...
Is there a way to install Boinc in a jail? The errors I received indicate the jail OS is no longer supported?

I will go through the installation again and post the errors I am getting...

Thanks

Linux jails were deprecated and removed when FreeNAS went 64-bit only.

Linux jails were deprecated and removed when FreeNAS went 64-bit only.

...which was with the release of 9.3. This isn't a Linux jail. This is a FreeBSD jail, with some Linux compatibility stuff installed. I installed BOINC under 9.10 following that guide, and it worked for me, though I'm not running it currently (the extra 150 watts of power draw were a bit of a problem).

I don't know what the issue is, but a Linux jail isn't it. Edit: But posting the question in that thread might make more sense.

I have BOINC running in a jail on 11.1. I used the same guide you cited. It's been a while since I installed it, but my recollection is that I had to deviate from the guide and install a different version of the Linux base to get it to work. I'll try and take a look at it tonight and see if I can give you more specifics. Please post your error messages. Also, what project are you planning on running on BOINC?

Updating my earlier post:
1. I used the same linux_base-c6 from step 2.1 of the guide cited by OP.
2. On step 2.4 of the guide I used

Code:

compat.linux.osrelease=2.6.32

instead of 2.6.18
3. In the Freenas GUI advanced jail settings I had to add the following in Sysctls in order to get my particular project to run:

Code:

allow.sysvipc=1

My unsophisticated understanding is that this gives your jail privileged access to the parent Freenas memory. I haven't had any problems with it, but I believe it can cause security and/or stability issues. Proceed at your own risk.
4. Finally, to keep from having to recompile boinc-client every time you update the jail (See e.g. step 4.5 of the guide) run:

Code:

pkg lock boinc-client

I am planning to use BOINC in my server. Is this applicable to 11.2 iocages also?
