iocage jail import fails

[Spiffy]

I tried exporting my iocage jail with "iocage export plexmediaserver_1" - and it created a zip file in "/mnt/iocage/images" - but when I try to import it again, I get the following

Code:

# iocage import plexmediaserver_1
Importing dataset: plexmediaserver/2018-12-16
cannot open 'main/iocage/jails/plexmediaserver/2018-12-16': dataset does not exist
cannot receive new filesystem stream: dataset does not exist
Broken pipe

I have tried specifying the full path to the file, but doesn't help The zip file seems to contain a weird version of the settings.json file and what looks like that root dataset of the jail.

I am sure I have missed something in the manual somewhere - but how the heck do I restore this jail to a working condition ?

Cloned the latest version of iocage from here: https://github.com/iocage/iocage
Ran same command, and it work the first time. Maybe a bug that should be fixed?

Yes, please report at bugs.freenas.org and post the issue number here.

Did this ever go through as a bug? Having the same issue with two of my iocage jails with underscores in their names, but it worked fine for the rest without underscores.

Yes this is a known issue. Any jails with a underscore exhibit this bug. The plugins will not use underscores from the next version because of this iocage bug. It was reported a month ago by diskdiddler (If I remember right).

To clarify, this should be improved in the upcoming U2 update: https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/56211.
