I installed the current update of Freenas 11.2. The new GUI is nice. I mainly use FN as a media and file storage server (Plex and FileZilla) working from my Windows 10 Pro box.
Of course, with the upgrade I am informed that my Plex "jail" now must be managed through the old interface. Everything has been working fine in the "old" config. Naturally, I don't wish to make life any more difficult for myself with the new FN.
My question is this: Do I simply install the Plex into the new iteration? I have read some posts about "converting" the "warden" jails into the "new" Iocage jails or is that even possible? Do I then need to delete the "old" version so I can forget about switching back and forth every time I use Plex? (Of course, I'm not going to delete anything until I'm satisfied the "new" one works fine!).
I'm more of the Microsoft gui Windows kind of guy when it comes computer stuff. I've gotten along with minimal command line things with Freenas. But it did take me about a year to figure out from other posts how to upgrade Plex without waiting for the updates to catch up in FN . . . well, it finally worked when I cut and pasted the scripts because I seemingly never put the right spaces or back slashes in the proper places for a year! Story of my computing life!
So, I'm just asking for the basic recommended procedure without a lot of exotic ways (God bless you cmd liners!) to do it. I don't mind having to re-set up my storage in the new setup. I would consider it much needed practice anyway.
Thanks for any suggestions!
