Script fails in TrueNAS 12.2

[calperin]

After follow the procedure in a new TrueNAS 12.2 install, i get

I have the plex-config

JAIL_IP="192.168.1.19"
DEFAULT_GW_IP="192.168.1.1"
POOL_PATH="/mnt/Data"

and ran the ./plex-jail.sh from the directory I created for the download from git

My server has different NICs (Total 8), and the IP is in the same subnet of my Default Gateway.

I believe that this should be related to the pkg install problem, but not sure since I don't know your script

[calperin]

I 'm reading your script, and it is reporting for FreeNAS 11.x. It should work in TrueNAS 12?

I am having a similar issue on TrueNAS 13:

I either missed or overlooked the original issue, likely because there's no such thing as TrueNAS 12.2. But the problem, both in the OP and for @GJSchaller, is networking for the jail in question.

[GJSchaller]

My config is simple, and works for other Jails / scripts with the same network settings:

JAIL_IP="10.0.0.245"
DEFAULT_GW_IP="10.0.0.1"
POOL_PATH="/mnt/data"

[GJSchaller]

As a test, I created several Jails and tried to run "pkg install plex" on them.

Base jail, 13.1, hardcoded IP address - pkg would not install
Base jail, 13.1, using DHCP - pkg installed without issue
Clone jail, 13.1, using DHCP - pkg installed without issue

I'm guessing something about the jail creation is not picking up DNS?

[GJSchaller]

I tried modifying the script a bit - with the following changes, it successfully installs pkg, but then fails when updating the manifest. I'm trying to compare the script to other, working scripts (like Nextcloud) to see why one works, and one does not, if that will help clear things up.

JAIL_IP=""
JAIL_INTERFACES=""
DEFAULT_GW_IP=""
INTERFACE="vnet0"
VNET="on"
POOL_PATH=""
JAIL_NAME="plex"
USE_HW_TRANSCODE="0"
PLEX_CONFIG_PATH=""
PLEX_MEDIA_PATH=""
USE_BETA=0
# USE_BASEJAIL="-b"
PLEXPKG=""
HW_TRANSCODE_RULESET="10"
DEVFS_RULESET=""
RULESET_SCRIPT="/root/scripts/plex-ruleset.sh"

[GJSchaller]

OK, I tired adding some comments to the script to see where it failed. After doing this, the script ran, created the jail, and completed without error - I got the final message to browse to the IP and configure Plex. Once I browsed to the URL, I got the UI and was able to log into Plex. My modified script is attached, if that helps clear things up.
