External storage for nextcloud

[bmf7777]

i recently installed a truenas mini-x system. i added nextcloud. i now want to add an external storage (aka outside jail) and have read many posts giving advise on how to do so but still receiving a red-alert when adding a local storage to nextcloud ...

1) i added a dataset to Volume0 /mnt/volume0/NextcloudStorage ... i changed permissions to www:www ... i also left as default but that didn't work either
2) i have my main lan set as a trusted network (e.g. 192.168.1.*)
3) i added /mnt/Volume0/NextcloudStorage as a mountpoint for nextcloud jail /mnt/Volume0/NextcloudStorage->
/mnt/Volume0/iocage/jails/nextcloud/root/usr/local/www/nextcloud/External
3) i enabled external storage app
4) add external storage: folder name "External", local, /mnt/Volume0/NextcloudStorage i get a red-alert ? i also tried the jail mount point with same result
/mnt/Volume0/iocage/jails/nextcloud/root/usr/local/www/nextcloud/External

any ideas on what i'm doing wrong ? thanks in advance ...

through stochastic debug ... i determined that the "configuration" field must be the local jail directory path ... e.g. /usr/local/www/nextcloud/External
