Recommendations for jail install

[1337Hacker]

Running 11.1-U6 and the beta GUI no longer exists. I'm recreating all my datasets because I'm switching from mirror to RAIDZ2.

I'm not too familiar with cmd, but I believe I would have to install and manage the jail through that if I wanted to use iocage. Can someone link the most up-to-date guide on that procedure (would this work: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-create-freenas-jails-with-iocage/)?

Also, if I destroy and recreate datasets, what do I do about the "iocage" dataset that was created when I used the new GUI in U4? Can I manually recreate that or will that cause issues?

Because of the previous point, would anyone recommend installing the jails as warden for the time being? (Hoping for a migration tool in future releases)

You can still access the beta UI from http://192.168.1.1/UI/ just replace the ip with yours.

This resource is the one I used (with a little adaptation of my own along the way where it made sense) to create my iocage jails from the CLI.

Create them using iocage and the CLI. When the new GUI is the default the iocage jails you create now will show up there.

Thanks for the advice! I'll let you know how it goes and will post any questions on the way.

One thing I'm still not sure about, will the iocage dataset reform when I attempt to install the jails?

Should this be enough:

Code:

# iocage fetch
