I borked my 11.2-U6. It was a permissions issue with Plex but in trying to fix it, I borked the webGUI permissions as well and now get a 404 NGINX error from any browser/device on my network (and I've tried them all). SSH is on and working, as well as my SMB shares. Wanting to grab the .db...

Hello Everybody, First I hope I'm in the right sub-thread, if not please guide to the right one. I'm having a huge problem and don't know what to do. Today I started my FreeNAS Machine because I wanted to move my files to my new FreeNAS Machine which I have recently installed but there was a...

Hi, really new user to this VPN stuff, and NAS aswell to be honest. I've managed to install everything, it's up and running, but now I feel just lost. (I'm using this guide) When I come to this section in the guide, OpenVPN Server Configuration, I dont know what settings I should use and it's...

Hello, today I have FreeNAS-9.3-CURRENT-201503130047 working in a server with 8gb memory, I will change the server to HP DL380 G9 with 64gb memory. The question is: can I install new version 11.1 U7 in the new server and upload the save config from 9.3? can this change corrupt any file? is the...

Hello everyone, Summary of why I'm doing this : I've been experiencing similar issues as those described in this thread for as long as I can remember, since FreeNAS 9 (long story short : when assigning permissions, I see users that I have deleted months ago; I see a group A that I just added; I...

Hello, I have a strange issue. I did a clean installation of FreeNAS (FreeNAS-11.2-BETA1) and once I wanted to upload config file from my old FreeNAS I have selected the file and clicked Submit button, but nothing has happened. I have tried Chrome, Edge and Firefox; tried rebooting the system...

An Updated version of this guide for 11.3-U3.2 can be found here. This guide was created using freenas 11.1-U5 A few notes and assumptions This guide assumes that you already have a windows share with your media, and that the permissions are already configured properly on that. Also in order...

When the server starts or if I try to start SMART manually it doesn't start. The log shows: shade smartd[75867]: Configuration file /usr/local/etc/smartd.conf parsed but has no entries I've double checked and only the physical drives have SMART turned on, the usb drives do not. not sure what...

Brief History My FreeNAS server has been running fine, fairly consistently over the past 5 years or so on my home-built server. Recently, it suffered MB failure. Because it was 5 years old, they don't make them with the same CPU socket, so I ended up replacing everything except the PSU, case...

One of my boot usb's (2 Samsung 32gb usb drives, mirrored) has failed. I want to double-check that I understand the right procedure to repair this. First, I understand the easy way to do this would be to just unplug the bad one (presuming I guess correctly which one that is), plug in a new usb...

Okayyyy. So. Not to put too fine a point on it, I've officially done my unix initiation. You know, the one where you type 'rm -Rfd stuff' and delete / by mistake? :eek::D:D:D:eek: There will now be a brief but mandatory pause for 5 million forum users to die laughing :eek: In mitigation, I...

I have a working freenas 9.10.2.U6 box. I have a separate homelab I've been testing out freenas 11.1 release. I'm wrapping up most of the testing. I plan to migrate all my drives and workload to it. I was wondering if I could save the config from the old box and restore them to the new box? I'm...

Hello, As I've learned here in the forum recently, in FreeNas 11.0 it's even not possible to assign a MAC address to a VM, so I'm wondering if there is any concept available for selecting all the bhyve networking options (NAT, bridge, NIC..) in FreeNas. I would like to have a separate IP for...

Hello Everyone, I've had an encrypted zfs pool on my freenas server that I initially created in November 2016. I copied the Geli key, created a passkey, and I copied the config file then. I haven't had any problems with decrypting the pool simply by giving it my password after updating or...

Hello, I'm trying to get my flexget to run but I cant seem to get it to find the config file no matter where I place it. Ive tried to place it both in a flexget folder on pc and on the NAS. As well as in the root directory. this is what i get when i run "flexget check": root@freenas_1:/ #...

I am using FreeNAS is FreeNAS-9.10.2-U3 (e1497f269). I Had a power-outage and when I switched my FreeNAS box back the config file was completely wiped i.e. lost the static IP, hostname, all users, all volumes, shares, plugins, jails etc. This was a new install that was completed only a day...

My 50 cents. Hope it helps someone someday. I am no way pro so this is a lame but working workaround. After migration to new hardware I prepared a new stick with 9.10.2 and it worked flawless, However after config upload I've got into menu loop with freenas init: getty repeating too...

I'Ve upgraded along the FreeNAS 9.x series unti lI arrived at 9.10-U4 and I now wanted to have a clean slate so I deleted all plugins + jails + the jails dataset itself. Now I'm looking at: Jails => Config => Advanced => Collection URL = http://download.freenas.org/jails/9.3/x64/ and at Plugins...

I'm planning to extend my storage and also delete and recreate all my jails and I would like to avoid the time consuming task of having to reconfigure all my plugins from scratch so I was wondering where their config files are located or if there is a specific export/import functionality. I'm...

Hi everybody, I'm new here and new to FreeNAS which I installed some days ago. I need to set up an openvpn client on my NAS box to be able to access its web interface from my home based vpn network. I managed to start the client manually, but I can't do it automatically on boot. I learned how...
