PSA: Fix pkg after upgrading an iocage jail to 12.1

[Yorick]

After upgrading a jail using iocage upgrade -r 12.1-RELEASE jailname on TrueNAS Core 12.0 Beta 1, pkg inside the jail will fail, thusly:

Code:

root@traefik:~ # pkg info
ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libarchive.so.6" not found, required by "pkg"

Fix this by running pkg-static install -f -y pkg inside the jail, which removes the reference to the removed libarchive.so.6.

Which in turn allows you to run pkg upgrade -y to complete the conversion of the jail to 12.1.

I'm sure I must have run into this pkg issue at least once with my FreeBSD box, good to know the effective solution.

Would this get my Plex and Ubiquiti Controller jails working in 12 beta?

I upgraded from 11.3-U2 to 12-Beta. I have custom jails for Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Tautulli, Plex, NZBGet, qBittorrent, and Jackett. They aren't plugins. Everyone upgraded without a hitch after using the command provided above.

 

[ThreeDee]

how do you execute the command when the jail won't start?

 

[jasonsansone]

What is the error keeping it from starting when you run "iocage start" from a command line?

 

[ThreeDee]

Code:

UniFi devfs_ruleset 5 does not exist! - not starting jail

 

[jasonsansone]

Use nano to edit config.json for the jail. Remove the line for devfs.

 

[ThreeDee]

I'm going to need my hand held a bit on that one .. google'n right now though

 

[jasonsansone]

SSH in to your TrueNAS box. Navigate to your jail. It will be located at /mnt/POOL_NAME/iocage/jails/JAIL_NAME/. Execute nano config.json. Remove the line related to devfs. Start the jail.

 

[ThreeDee]

UniFi working now .. Thanks a bunch for the hand holding, lol .. I didn't need to run the OP's commands , upgrade to 12.1 went without a hitch .. now to mess with Plex

 

[jasonsansone]

You won't need to run the OP command until after you run "iocage upgrade JAIL -r 12.1-RELEASE" to upgrade the jail to 12.1.

 

[ThreeDee]

You won't need to run the OP command until after you run "iocage upgrade JAIL -r 12.1-RELEASE" to upgrade the jail to 12.1.

I ran that and no errors ..everything was found and jails are running now .. I just had to remove the devfs rule 5 line from both jails config.json files so they could start

 

[ThreeDee]

odd thing now though is that my UniFi jail still says 11.3-RELEASE-p11 even though the update appeared to go through just fine .. my Plex jail says 12.1-RELEASE-p7 .. but not my UniFi jail. I ran:

Code:

iocage upgrade -r 12.1-RELEASE UniFi

twice

Jail comes up just fine... works just fine .. just showing 11.3 Release

ah ..

Code:

Branch 12.1-RELEASE does not exist at https://github.com/lbalker/iocage-plugin-unificontroller.git!
Using "master" branch for plugin, this may not work with yor RELEASE

...mystery solved

 

[jasonsansone]

You are running the plugins, not custom jails. That is why.

ah .. yeah, they were "modified" plugins to get latest repos instead of quarterly

 

[nic_greene]

I just switched trains to 12.1
I am running into a situation where

Code:

iocage upgrade -r 12.1-RELEASE jailname

appears to hang up after listing
"The following files will be removed as part of updating to 12.1-RELEASE-p7:" there's a long list and then (END) and it appears to hang up there.
Is this the newbiest newbie question ever?

 

[jasonsansone]

It can take some time depending on the NAS processor. You can confirm the system hasn’t hung by monitoring processes.

Thanks for that. What is happening is that Freenas is disconnecting from my SSH connection mid upgrade. I did successfully upgrade the Plex Plug in. Any further suggestions appreciated.

What is some time? Hours, days? I can confirm the system isn't hanging up, but it seems awfully long...
