Accidentially installed Wordpress on BaseOS instead of into FreeBSD Jail

[Mathes92]

Dear Community,

unfortunately, I executed the Shell commands for installing Wordpress directly on the TrueNas BaseOS:

Code:

pkg update  && pkg install -y bash curl && chsh -s bash root

and then after re-login:

Code:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yaroslav-gwit/freebsd-wordpress-autoinstaller/main/wordpress-installation-freebsd12.sh | bash -

I know, I should have created a FreeBSD Jail at first and install Wordpress there.
My mind was probably gone at that moment.

In order to be sure to not make any further mistakes I wanted to ask, if someone could check whether I am thinking right now.
My next steps are the following:

1.) Save configuration file manually by: System --> General --> Save Config

2.) Re-Install the TrueNas System and version I actually do have by: format SSD Drive with TrueNas installation in UEFI

3.) Re-Install same version of TrueNas as before by: USB install stick with ISO mounted on it as described in the Getting Started blog on the community page

4.) Upload previously backuped config file from step 1.) above by: System --> General --> Save Config

I just want to make 100 % sure not to lose my data on the ZFS pool.
Thank you in advance!

You know that you can't just do that by accident... pkg on the host is not able to install packages unless you mess with the config (which you did with the -f switch).

Your steps to get it back to "normal" are correct.

I've deleted the "-f" from the original post just in case anyone decides to click and paste without understanding why this is bad.

There's a saying: If it doesn't work, get a bigger hammer.

It happens, lack of sleep or hydration or whatever combined with a preconceived idea of how things should work. (Which is why I try to catch up on sleep in my office do I'm ready for tomorrow.)
