Hi there! I've been using FreeNAS (virtualized) on XCP-NG for around six months now. I use FreeNAS in a production environment in which I host media/file storage for my household.
I was looking into Nextcloud recently and thought it would be a great service to try out. But, I've ran into an issue. Due to me not being able to find a viable way to use a network share to host Nextcloud's main data folder within a VM, I would like to be able to use a jail instead.
That being said, I've been at this for a few days... and whenever I throw up a test FreeNAS VM, I am unable to create a jail which uses DHCP without it resulting in kernel panic.
HW Spec:
Dell R720xd
2x Intel E5-2650 v2
128GB Ram
Intel I350 Quad Port NIC
H310 mini mono (IT Mode)
12x 2TB Seagate SAS Drives
I am able to create a jail, and install the Nextcloud plugin directly without DHCP enabled. Of course the issue being, I don't have access to the internet from within the jail. I have tried creating a second VIF on a separate Ethernet port, as well as tried enabling promiscuous mode.
Questions I haven't been able to find an answer to:
Do I need a separate NIC?
Is this an issue with virtualizing FreeNAS with XCP-NG?
Do I need to be using a bonded network? (See below)
What I will be trying out next is creating a bonded network, and attempting to use DHCP after enabling promiscuous mode. I will update this post after I get home tomorrow and have tried that.
In the meantime, has anybody here used FreeNAS within XCP-NG, and could perhaps point me in the right direction?
