Hi Yorick,
Installing FreeNAS 11.3 RC2 (or newer) Plex plugin with static IP address:
The notes below are not scientifically proven but to reproduce myself a fully functional PMS ;)
Create user ‘plex’ with ID 972 at Primary Group ‘wheel’. The Plex plugin allways uses this username in it’s jail with corresponding userid. You need this user at the next step.
At the Dataset where the media is located, choose edit ACL.
Under File Information choose User -> plex and Group -> wheel
Check Apply permissions recursively
Confirm, Continue, Save.
Install Plex plugin with DHCP settings. Just enter the name of the jail and there you go. Just accept DHCP because static IP address is not possible initially to get it right. You can change the IP config later to static IP. The Plex plugin with it’s jail will be started after install automatically.
Stop the Plex jail
Edit the Plex jail
Basic properties:
· Uncheck DHCP Autoconfigure IPv4
· Leave VNet checked
· LeaveBerkely checked
IP4 interface: leave ----------------
IP4 address: (free IP address for your jail)
IP4 netmask: (your netmask)
Default router: (your gateway)
· Leave Autostart checked
Jail properties:
· Check Allow raw sockets
Network properties:
· Leave all unchanged
Custom properties:
· Leave all unchanged
Save settings
Start the jail to check if it’s working
If yes:
Stop the jail again
Create mountpoints
Start the jail
Now you’ve created the dependencies for the Plex web gui. At this gui you can create your media entrances without errors ‘no soup for you’ or ‘no items available.
Regards, R.
