Are you doing the echo command and iocage command like the original instructions say besides using your own datasets instead of tank or whatever?

I am following the instructions exactly, I haven't even gotten to the point to point at my own datasets. I am substituting the gateway / ip / mask with my own information though.

The above photo is after I do the create iocage and before I do the rm command for the pkg

Not sure what that error is for. Type this in:

Code:
jls (this will list your jails)
jexec 3 (or whatever number it is for you) tcsh 
pkg update 
pkg upgrade


See if you can proceed with the rest of the tutorial regardless of the error.

Performed the following. But when I try the command
iocage fstab -a plex /mnt/x/x/x /config nullfs rw 0 0

It states the "Destination: /mnt/Main/iocage/jails/plex/root/config does not exist or is not a directory."

You need to create it the dataset. Replace the app name with plex in your instance

https://www.ixsystems.com/community...ckett-transmission-organizr.55502/post-538735

Went into the cage via iocage console , created the config and other directories. The config mounted just fine, but when I go to chown the config file I get "chown: plex: illegal group name" and if I skip it and perform the rest. I get "
plexmediaserver_plexpass does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable"

Inside the plex jail
Code:
service -l

I think I got that right, sorry doing from memory as I'm not home.
Your service might not be named plexmediaserver_plexpass

Nothing resembles plex in any form. It looks like it starts to create the jail then just dies. It never actually installs

Need help with this plex-plexpass error. After performing the iocage create, it says plex was successful, then I get the errors in the image. I am running U5 of 11.2 and I can ping to outside networks.

Thanks
It looks like the jail is created but then can’t talk to the outside world. In Freenas GUI, under Network, is your Global Configuration setup?

Yea, I have the gateway and DNS setup. Inside the jail I am able to ping both ip and DNS names

Running into error in the jackett process.
Get up to 3rd command:
Code:
iocage fstab -a jackett /mnt/tank1/apps/jackett /config nullfs rw 0 0

I change 'tank1' to mine ('volume1')
it returns:
Code:
Destination: /mnt/volume1/iocage/jails/jackett/root/config does not exist or is not a directory.
Source: /mnt/volume1/apps/jackett does not exist!

It's weird since this jail was created at the start of this install process (two commands ago)... what am I missing?

I imagine same as user above you the paths your using don't exist.

If you would like to change to the latest repo to get faster updates to Plex than every month or so you can do that by creating the following file.

Sorry but I don't understand this part, could it please be explained more throughly?
Thanks a lot :)

Solution being, I should just create the path? Or do I alter the path to something I already have - it's not clear.

Nice guide. Have someone found another guide how to switch to https, so everything inside is secure?

I'm using also Organizr v2. Will it still work with this setup?
I haven't heard that anyone's tried. I expect it could be made to work, but I don't know how easy (or hard) it would be.

Having the same issue as a couple people above me...

I have the following pools Backups, and Media
I created the following datasets under the Media pool/dataset
apps
apps/plex
video

When I run the following command:
Code:
sudo iocage fstab -a plex /mnt/Media/apps/plex /config nullfs rw 0 0

I get this error... Destination: /mnt/Backups/iocage/jails/plex/root/config does not exist or is not a directory.

Is this because Backups is the default activated pool for jails? Based on the error it looking for config in the Backups pool since that is the current default pool for jails on my config. Is this common knowledge or should something be mentioned in this guide? I'm not 100% sure what that command is trying to do, or if the /config part can be changed to the Media directory. Or if I need to create additional datasets in the Backups pool.

I was able to resolve my issue by doing the following...
  • Create a few datasets under the pool that jails are using, in my case it was Backups pool
    • apps
    • apps/plex
    • video
  • Create a couple datasets under Backups/iocage/jails/plex/root
    • config
    • mnt
After that I was then able to run the following
Code:
sudo iocage fstab -a plex /mnt/Backups/apps/plex /config nullfs rw 0 0
sudo iocage fstab -a plex /mnt/Backups/video /mnt/video nullfs ro 0 0


After that I then decided to go to jails, and edit the mount points for plex, and set the Source to my Media pool:
Media/video
And set the destination to /mnt/Backups/iocage/jails/plex/root/media
