How to install MineOS-node in a jail (alternative to using the MineOS plugin)

The screenshots look good. The transfer settings are context specific, based on what you select it may not show certain options when it thinks it's not relevant.

I would stop the jail before copying the files, and start it back up after the permissions are adjusted. Also, when you stop the jail, you'll have to remount linprocfs as in the first post, otherwise it won't behave properly; that may have been part of the issues you've noticed.
Once it's back up, I would download a new profile and create a brand new server as a test. You can use that to compare the ownership and permissions with the servers that you copied over.

Dang! linprocfs... I guess I should have read all the other posts, cause I have skimmed them and you had mentioned that before.

I have some servers up, they are working great, but the transfer of the old one was getting me down. :( but I see now the linprocfs command was what I probably need. Will post again when I try that out.

Thanks a bunch!

Code:
mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /mnt/LirpaM2/jails/mineos_jail/usr/compat/linux/proc
mount: /mnt/LirpaM2/jails/mineos_jail: No such file or directory


I copied everything in your guide command-for-command but this is giving me an error. I'm on 11.1 not sure if that makes a difference but I can't get neither the plugin nor this jail to start a server.

EDIT: Found out that I had another jails folder /jails_02/ under my volume, gonna go try to start a server again

What exact build are you on (System>Information)?
Also, there are two types of jails in 11.1; did you create a Warden jail (old UI) or an iocage jail (new UI)?

I can't find anything on this? I've tried multiple ports but nothing works

Hey Jurgen, forgot to come back and say thanks for the help! I haven't transferred the old server over but i don't think i want to bother. i have a survival server going now that the boys and i are spending a lot of time on. making archives and restore points of that every time we play, the creative server that i was trying to restore has been forgotten.

Hi, I installed everything as instructed but when I try and access the WebUI i get a message "The connection was reset". I can't figure out what is wrong but I have tried restarting and reinstalling but nothing seems to work. Any help is appreciated.

Hmm... there's not much to go on. What version of FreeNAS build are you running? (menu: System>Information)
Here are some pointers to help you troubleshoot:
  • Is linprocfs mounted? Run mount | grep linprocfs in FreeNAS, not the jail
  • Is the mineos service running? In the jail, run service supervisord status
  • Anything interesting in the log files? In your jail, look at file /var/log/mineos.log
  • Any firewall or antivirus that may be blocking the port or connection?
edit: corrected service name

I am running FreeNAS 11.1-RELEASE and the linprocfs is mounted
Code:
root@Apollo-FreeNAS:~ # mount | grep linprocfs
linprocfs on /mnt/Jails/MineOS/usr/compat/linux/proc (linprocfs, local)

root@MineOS:/ # service supervisord status
supervisord is running as pid 80179.

root@MineOS:/var/log # cat mineos.log																																  
{"level":"info","message":"Starting up server, using commit: 66447ed added /compat/linux/proc to proc_paths (#265)\n","timestamp":"2018-01-03T23:58:10.233Z"}
{"level":"info","message":"Starting up server, using commit: 66447ed added /compat/linux/proc to proc_paths (#265)\n","timestamp":"2018-01-04T00:33:59.851Z"}


There shouldn't be anything blocking the connection and I can access the web pages for my other jails.

Edit: This is the screen I get

Thank you for the clarifications!
I suspect you haven't turned off SSL and are using http instead of https. You should either:
  • access the MineOS service using https, i.e. https://192.168.1.8:8443 You'll like get a warning "This page is not secure"; just click advanced & add an exception
  • or keep using http and edit the /etc/mineos.conf file to change the line use_https = true to use_https = false, save and execute
    service supervisord restart
    to make these changes take effect.

Hi guys,

I recently updated to FreeNAS-11.1-RELEASE and I am now unable to create the mineos jail while following these instructions.

Upon inputting the < echo "CXX=c++ npm install" | sh > command I receive the following:

root@mineos_main:/usr/local/games/minecraft # echo "CXX=c++ npm install" | sh

> posix@4.0.2 install /usr/local/games/minecraft/node_modules/posix
> node-gyp rebuild

I have copied and pasted each step so far and this worked on another jail prior to upgrading.


Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ben! Unfortunately, it seems that the warden jail template has not been updated in FreeNAS 11.1 and the mismatch between older freebsd-version and the newer packages is causing conflicts. I would recommend to spin up an iocage jail instead. There are quite a few other threads explaining this process; the easiest way to do this would be from the command line of FreeNAS host, something like this:

Code:
iocage activate tank
iocage create -n mineos_jail ip4_addr="em0|192.168.0.222/24" -r 11.1-RELEASE mount_procfs=1 mount_linprocfs=1 boot=on

Be sure to replace tank, em0 and the ip-address with the values relevant to your system.

Enter the jail by using the command iocage console mineos_jail and then run through the steps from the first post, except the linprocfs stuff (see below).
Note that:
  • If you only have one pool, the first iocage activate command is optional, otherwise this is how you can/should indicate what pool you want your jails to be on.
  • You can skip the linprocfs stuff (i.e. the steps mkdir -p /usr/compat/linux/proc and the mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /mnt/tank/jails/mineos_jail/usr/compat/linux/proc at the end. The mount_linprocfs flag in iocage takes care of all that.
Once you're done, exit out of the jail and iocage restart mineos and you should be in business!

Hi Jurgen, any thoughts on my issue: node-gyp fails to rebuild after issuing

echo "CXX=c++ npm install" | sh

I would reinstall node-gyp and try again. Run the following in your mineos jail:

Code:
service supervisord onestop
cd /usr/local/games/minecraft
rm -rf node_modules
npm install -g node-gyp node-pre-gyp
echo "CXX=c++ npm install" | sh
