Yet another thread about issues installing Filebot for Plex folder/filename re-formatting

[medicineman25]

Having issues installing Filebot so that I can automatically (or just even at all) restructure files and folders to align with Plex's arbitrarily specific requirements.

I have TrueNAS Core with Plex and Transmission in separate jails. Transmission writes, Plex reads.

Here are the routes I've tried and the issues that seem unavoidable:

1. Installing Filebot in the Transmission jail:

- these instructions fail, when calling jexec I get "transmission jail cannot be found". Then, when running it from the TrueNAS root cli, it finds the jail and then says "cannot execute: read-only filesystem" when symlinking

2. Installing Filebot in the Transmission jail via Docker:

- Tried installing docker, that installs. When running

Code:

docker pull rednoah/filebot

I get the following error: "Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?"

- Tried to add to "docker_enable="YES" to rc.conf and running the service again but no luck. Says that "docker does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup directories...."

Any suggestions on a solution here? Why is this functionality not more tightly integrated? I can't be the only person using TrueNAS like this?

Managed to fix. No idea why but creating a fresh jail and installing Filebot as per these instructions worked. Only change is that openjdk8 is available without compilation. Filebot now works.

I still find it insane that Plex has this requirement and that this is the fix, but there we have it... a working f%#karound...

hmm .. I've been doing things manually with the free Media Center Master .. I'll have to check out filebot

I'm actually gonna look into Radarr now, I posted a similar issue on the Plex forums with a general question about how to approach something like this... someone suggested Radarr and tbh it looks amazing
