Can't install Transmission plugin

[MortenSJ]

Hi guys

I'm trying to Install Transmission via the plugin section, but I keep getting this error.

Error: HTTPConnectionPool(host='download.freebsd.org', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /ftp/releases/amd64 (Caused by NewConnectionError('< urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x83db00760 >: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 8] Name does not resolve'))

Anyone experiencing something similar?

Anyone experiencing something similar?

Many people have experienced this error....
The answer is in the message ( Network setting)

Thanks. I'm not sure exactly how to troubleshoot or read the error message.

@MortenSJ, the error says the system couldn't resolve download.freebsd.org. Under Network->Global Configuration, do you have a default gateway and DNS servers defined?

No, I haven't. Which DNS servers and gateway should I be using?

This depends entirely on your particular network. If your Internet connection is a typical consumer DSL line or similar, the address of your router is your best bet. If this is a corporate environment, ask your network administrator.
You could also look what your desktop PC/Mac/whatever is using ...

Yes, i'm just on a regular DSL home connection. Can someone explain why I need to do this and what it has to do with not beeing able to connect to the download.freebsd.org Apologies if this is super basic, but i'm not sure I completely get it.

My advice is to just install Transmission to a jail manually. I'll bet my left testicle you sort these network issues out and then get an error about the dataset not being mounted. Don't waste your time, just install manually.

How is he supposed to install manually if he cannot download anything?

For any device in your network that device needs to have

• a valid IP address matching your network
• a matching subnet mask
• a nameserver (also called a DNS server or a resolver)
• a default gateway

Without going too much into network fundamentals - without all 4 of those configured correctly ... no Internet.
Regularly desktop PCs and the like, phones, tablets ... all get these parameters automtically by a mechanism called DHCP.

If you have a server like a NAS and configure your IP adress manually like most do, so it always has the same fixed address, then you must also configure nameserver and default router manually. Or ... no Internet, see above.

Yeh... obviously talking about the point at which the network is functional.

Sí, solo estoy en una conexión doméstica normal de DSL. ¿Puede alguien explicar por qué necesito hacer esto y qué tiene que ver con no poder conectarme a download.freebsd.org ? Disculpe si esto es muy básico, pero no estoy seguro de entenderlo por completo.

Hola, no se si estaré llegando tarde a responder. A veces no nos damos cuenta en una explicación y nos dejamos lo mas básico. Empezar con esto puede ser frustrante.
min realidad todo tiene que ver con la red donde estas conectado.
Si truenas no puede resolver sus propios dns "Configuradas en el interior a traves de tu router", nunca podra llegar a download.freebsd.org para poder descargar nada.

Paso 1 en el menu de inicio de Truenas selecciona 1 Configuracion de Red: Borra lo que tengas y vuelve a entrar en el menu 1.
Selecciona la configuración por DHCP. De esta manera te aseguras de que tu router le sirva tanto el gateway como las dns a true nas.
Paso2. ve a la url que te da la consola para abrir la gui de truenas en el navegador e intenta de nuevo =>> download.freebsd.org.
mi s posible que con el cambio puedas hacerlo.
Si todavia no puedes:

Abre tu Router ve a dispositivos de red conectados, copia la ip y ve a reservarla "Ponerla fija"
Despues busca en tu Router donde pongas gateway y DNS.
Con esto en pantalla ve a la GUI de Truenas y en configuración de red quita dhcp e inserta manualmente la ip que ha reservado en el router, el gateway y las dns, si solo tiene DNS1 y DNS2, puedes poner en DNS3 : 8.8.8.8 ( Google). Guarda tu configuración y haz una prueba de red, Truenas te lo preguntará solo.

Si todo es correcto, ya debe estar funcionando sin problemas.
Espero ayudarte!
