Warden to iocage migration script, some quick tips for others!

[diskdiddler]

If you go to your server URL
like 192.168.0.1/legacy/ you can pull up the old UI and then manually delete the warden ones.

(I would at least disable them to auto start)

Keep them for a few weeks, until you're sure you're happy yougot all the data out, then nuke them.

Beta 3 changed some of my iocage plugins and now they won’t work or they will but have no access to the internet. Have reinstalled FreeNAS and going to start fresh.

Oh man that's not good, which plugins.

Were they plugins (warden migrated or actual iocage beta 1/2 plugins properly installed?) or jails?

 

[SavageAUS]

They were beta 2 plugins. Some fresh and some with imported config/files eg Plex.
The update to Beta 3 changed things like allow raw sockets, was on before but after it was off and even after changing settings back plugins weren’t the same again.

Thank you. Good idea keeping the old ones around for a bit.

That's just straight up not good - I'd consider filing a bug.

I'm trying to install pkg and then plex in a blank jail. It was easier to maintain in the past because I could always update Plex quickly. Does iocage allow updating Plex more quickly now?

Or, should I use the blank jail again? If so, how do I get pkg installed?

Plex need to release the software.
Then the Freshports, porting person needs to port it.

Then finally, the FreeNAS plugin maintainer, needs to update it.

I suspect, once 11.2 final comes out, we will see plugins updated more regularly than they have been the past 12 months, but I doubt it'll be super fast.

By default since FreeBSD 10.2 the package repo is on the quarterly release. If you want more frequent updates you need to do a pkg override to update to the LATEST release.

Thank you. Is that on top of a plugin install of plex? Or, a blank jail?

I made a blank jail using 11.2. But, it doesn't have pkg or ports set up.

Standard jail.

There are already two other active threads discussing how to upgrade Plex.

Can we keep this on on the topic of the "Warden to iocage migration script"?

 

[Chris Dill]

I am running 100% stable on 11.2, but all of my jails are on the legacy UI. I wish to upgrade, which is the best option?

1. Run the script, edit config, and move all plugins into iocage.
2. Install the plugins new in the new UI, manually configure them to mirror existing settings, decommission warden.
3. Install the plugins new in the new UI, and restore backup config files from warden into iocage to reproduce settings.

I have been manually upgrading Plex for years, and it would be nice to have something managed under Freenas. Also, they have a plexPass channel, and the existing Plex version numbers on 11.2 are higher than the plugin versions from the legacy UI. I would also like my plugins to show under the new UI so I do not have to switch over. I like the new UI.

 

[diskdiddler]

I'd be tempted to do a fresh install when you can, depending on the plugin. Despite the extra work, sometimes it's nice to just get it done fresh.

Note, as per my OP though, you can run the migration script and it'll 'just work' without killing the old one.

after successfully running migrate_warden.py i kept on getting the following error when i visit plugin page. even after i added a mounting point download/root.
any ideas? screenshot attached.

I could be missing something but the error states exactly what the problem is, that I couldn't find

Code:

download/iocage/jails/transmission_1/root

Yes that why I attached the second screenshot showing that there is transmission_1/root which I created after seeing the error message. Maybe that's something I shouldn't do?

 

[nojohnny101]

have you tried putting the full path?

mnt/download/iocage/jails/transmission_1/root

 

[ddep]

Yes the mount point is pointing to the full path. See the second screenshot above. The two screenshots are so close together it looks like a single screenshot.

Using FN 11.1.U7, and 11.3.U3, when I attempt to run migrate_warden.py from the FN shell, I keep getting the following error:

Code:

Warden does not have a path set, please set one in the GUI

I reverted to FN 11.1.U7 thinking warden wanted a default path to the storage pool for warden jails, but I see it was already configured there in Jails-->Jail Root. I got the same results with migrate_warden.py attempting to use it in FN 11.1.U7.

Does anyone know how to resolve the error message to get the script to run? I paid for subsonic years ago and want to be able to use it again since upgrading my freeNAS, but there is no subsonic in the plugins. Creating one or manually installing it in a jail is beyond my abilities for now.
