Hi, I just finished building my DIY NAS with the following (reusing most of the stuff from my old build):
* Ryzen 3600
* 8 GB DDR4
* Asus Prime B350M-A
* Crucial MX200 256 GB SSD
* 2 x 4 TB HDD
* Antec HCG 520W
* Fractal Node 804
* Connected to gigabit internet through ethernet
I installed TrueNAS 12 U2 with a bootable USB, so far so good... Then I configured the network like this (the last 2 DNS are the ones from my router I guess, I didn't input them, and the default route is the IP of my router) and created [a pool with a Plex dataset like this](https://i.imgur.com/JM1gFIu.png). I think so far everything is good? I also managed to install the Nextcloud plugin with default parameters (DHCP off, NAT on) and it works well.
Then my trouble is installing the Plex plugin. First I have created with similar parameters to my Nextcloud plugin:
* DHCP off
* NAT on
=> It did install correctly but when I tried to access the web interface through the URL I could never reach it, even though the jail was running. I read somewhere that Plex can't work with NAT so probably that is expected.
So then I tried with:
* DHCP on
* NAT off
=> The plugin could never install, I get various error messages such as (without changing anything in between):
* "RuntimeError Message: pkg error: - plexmediaserver-plexpass :,ffmpeg : Refusing to fetch artifact and run post_install.sh! Partial plugin destroyed"
* Complex (name of my jail) has a missing configuration, please check that the dataset is mounted.
* RuntimeError Message: pkg error: - ffmpeg : Refusing to fetch artifact and run post_install.sh! Partial plugin destroyed
I notice that almost every time, it fails to install pkg or ffmpeg, it takes a very long time trying that too and retries many times... I also tried without DHCP with a fixed IPv4 IP address but I got the same results... I also tried version 12.0 of TrueNAS and version 11.2 of FreeNAS and it also did not work.
Does someone have any idea what the issue is?
I also tried creating the jail myself and installed Plex following this tutorial, I had to try a couple of times getting the pkg because it kept failing and when it worked it downloaded at a few KB/s which isn't normal. Then when I accessed the web interface, it was SO SLOW and I couldn't play any media because of how slow it was. This might be a good indication to some experts here that something is wrong with my network config?
