New jail creation: Unable to find template!

[Trapizomba]

Hi!

I'm trying to create a simple new jail from the web interface, but I'm receiving the "Unable to find template!" error message.

I'm running the new FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201506292130.

I do not want to use the VirtualBox template but it is the only template available at my "template list".

Anyone with the same problem?

Any workaround to create a new jail?

Thank you!

Creating a new jail downloads the template it needs on its own. Do you have your FreeNAS configured properly for network access?

Yes. I upgraded my FreeNAS to version FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201506292130 about 30 minutes before I tried to add the new jail...

Now the error changed to:

Jun 30 10:13:36 freenas warden: zfs clone cardosoNAS/jails/.warden-template-standard@clean cardosoNAS/jails/ubooquity
Jun 30 10:13:36 freenas warden: ERROR: Failed creating clean ZFS base clone

I have the same problem.
If I instead use the address I have in Jails/Configuration/Collection URL and go use wget on the tgz file from that address from a ssh session I can aquire the tgz file.
I can then make a new template from that local tgz file and I can also make a new template directly from http URL. (http://download.freenas.org/latest/RELEASE/x64/jails/)
Both of those new templates can be used to create a new jail.
But if the "template" field in the jail creation guide is left at "-----" I get unable to create template.

Is there a fix for this yet?

What's the bug ticket so the devs know to fix it? The devs won't fix it without a bug ticket...

Hi CJ,

I figure since I'm still a mostly elementary user, I hate to barge in and make bug reports and demands etc without assuming someone more knowledgeable than I have already done so.
I actually got around the problem with some fiddling (although there continues to be issues with the qBittorrent tutorial)

I just added a new jail template, called it "Pluginjail" and set the URL to:
http://download.freenas.org/jails/9.3/x64/freenas-pluginjail-9.3-RELEASE.tgz

I hope this helps someone. I'm going to (blindly assume....!) that on a fresh install of 9.3 this bug doesn't exist and the templates are fine as default. I (continue to assume) this just somehow broke, /once/ for existing users? (hence the lack of posts of new users having trouble and it being a bigger issue?)
Anyone got a "fresh" VM to fire up and confirm?

Thanks

seeing the URL you gave, that seems wrong, instead of
http://download.freenas.org/latest/RELEASE/x64/jails shouldn't it be
http://download.freenas.org/jails/9.3/x64/ ?


Apart from that, I have most probably the same problem as the original poster.
I try to create a jail from the GUI I get: unable to find template and in the logs I see

Code:

Sep 10 22:39:39 freenas warden: Building new Jail... Please wait...
Sep 10 22:39:39 freenas warden: zfs clone fiver/jails/.warden-template-standard@clean fiver/jails/gmvaulty
Sep 10 22:39:39 freenas warden: ERROR: Failed creating clean ZFS base clone

But the templates are there:

Code:

freenas# warden template list
Jail Templates:
------------------------------
VirtualBox-4.3.12 - FreeBSD  (amd64)
pluginjail--x64 - FreeBSD  (amd64)
standard - FreeBSD  (amd64)

So what now?

You are correct about the link, I don't know why I used that link back then, but it worked at that time.
I am not able to help any more on this problem, I cannot recreate it any more.
I am on new hardware and a fresh install of FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201509022158 since then.

 

[ovizii]

@nanopete thx for the feedback. I also had the same link in my config as you. I clicked it and it was wrong so I manually navigated to the new one I gave but doign that didn't solve the problem.

I've solved my problem by adding the x64 template manually, then simply creating a new jail which works flawlessly now that the template exists...

@ovizii
do you mind sharing the settings, since im a noob i dont know what mtree is.
each time i add a the url and the name i get a error message. do you mind sharing.
i used this url http://download.freenas.org/jails/9.2/x64/freenas-pluginjail-9.2-RELEASE.tgz because i couldnt find anything in the 9.3 folder, but this gives me a long error and i cant add it.

@neatfreak : sorry I'm at work but why do you say you don't find anything in 9.3? Have another look: http://download.freenas.org/jails/9.3/x64/
there are 2 jails there freenas-standard-9.3-RELEASE.tgz and freenas-pluginjail-9.3-RELEASE.tgz and their respective .mtree files.
Simply copy the links to those and the rest is self-explaining.

@ovizii
ya i found the link after i wrote that, but thats the message is get when i add both links into the add template.

plus the code above that i posted already.

 

[ovizii]

sorry, can't help you here, it just worked for me and those errors don't tell me anything :-(

 

[neatfreak]

@ovizii

thanks for the help. I started this freenas sever yesterday, and i dont have any data on it, so i guess ill start from scratch again.
=)
it seems the server are very slow at the moment because i cant download the latest freenas iso it says eta 12 hrs to download.

 

[dasti]

same kind of problem here when I upgrated from 9.2.17 to current at this date (9.3.1), there's no template anymore
I solved my problem by creating a template with the UI and pointing to the "tgz" and "mtree" files here http://download.freenas.org/jails/9.3/x64/

 

[ovizii]

@dasti: thanks for confirming. I'm wondering why I still see snapshots for those missing templates though and if I can safely delete the snapshots?

Because I spent waaaaaay too much time trying to figure this out and the docs assume way too much of the user, here is what you do:

• In the URL box put
  • Code:

    http://download.freenas.org/jails/9.3/x64/freenas-pluginjail-9.3-RELEASE.tgz

• In the Mtree box put
  • Code:

    http://download.freenas.org/jails/9.3/x64/freenas-pluginjail-9.3-RELEASE.mtree

I hope this saves someone time and frustration! I was pulling my hair out.
