Freenas 11.2, plugins not available

[Arelman]

Hi
I've searched the forum for this problem and not found it mentioned in the way I am experiencing.
I have just upgraded to 11.2 and most things have worked out well.
Only thing is trying to load plugins (and create jails).
This is what I get

Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(128) cmdline: git clone -v https://github.com/freenas/iocage-ix-plugins.git /mnt/vol1/iocage/.plugin_index stderr: 'Cloning into '/mnt/vol1/iocage/.plugin_index'... fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/freenas/iocage-ix-plugins.git/': Couldn't connect to server '

I upgraded from 9.10

Thanks

What route did you follow to make the 9.10 to 11.2 upgrade?
Did you migrate your warden jails to iocage?

 

[Arelman]

No.
I selected 11.2 from the drop down menu and hit update.
It did the rest.

Take a look here https://www.ixsystems.com/blog/library/freenas-11-2-release/

I think this will guide you on the jails issue.

 

[Arelman]

I have read this twice now.
Managed to get
Activated Pool for Jail Manager: vol1
but the list of available plugins times out.
I'm one step closer.
However, I've been running 9.10 for years and the changes for this newbie are daunting.
I deleted the jails in 9.10 (I was only running Nextcloud and Plex) so I could start again in 11.2.
I was never able to access Nextcloud from an external computer (lots of time trying various things) and that's when I thought a newer version of Freenas may be easier to install it.

When trying to create a jail I get
Error: Fetching remote release choices failed.

I'm a bear of limited brain, I need to do step by step at times.
I have uploaded the config file (I saved before the upgrade).

Any hints on my next step?

Do you have a default gateway and name server listed?

 

[Arelman]

Thanks for your help.
I've managed to get the plugins and jails sorted.
Even installed Nextcloud.
Now I'm trying to get Nextcloud working - but that will be a different thread if I need extra help.

Thanks again.
Just the prods are very helpful.

- I reloaded my saved config - and it seemed to upload better than the first time.
But I was also aware by now that my IP address was a little different so I changed it and voila!

Cheers

Roger
