Could do with some guidance on iocage

[danb35]

I've switched to storing all of the media server data, in my case emby, in a dataset so when I need to create a new jail it's just a case of mounting that dataset to the correct folder inside the jail and restarting the service ;)

I think this is the best solution in general, a rather docker-ish way to handle it. A couple of the iocage jail guides call for similar practices. Of course, we come to this solution right as we get a new jail manager that avoids the most common need to rebuild jails (that being FreeBSD template upgrades)...

God I am such a plank, I think I have sussed out what the issue was. For some reason that I cannot explain is that I entered the default gateway as 192.168.1.1 it should be 192.168.0.1 the only other issue I am getting is that if I download PLEX the download times out on me.

I have now got an instance of PLEX running on iocage. Thankyou @danb35, @Jailer and other who contibuted...

Okay iocage jails been running overnight without issue so rebooted the freenas server now my two iocage jails are not accessible. I have checked that the applications have started which they have. Really not understanding what is going on here. :(

This is totally frustrating

Had the same problem yesterday, rebooted and lost all networking in all my jails. See the post linked below for the solution.

iocage, vnet0, and bridge0

The fix that you pointed me to worked. Thanks again @Jailer yet again you have kept me right and I thank you.

I've been meaning to do that for a while, just haven't got around to it. Of course yesterday would have been the perfect opportunity.......

Do you know of any proper guides on this? I mainly need the file/folder/mount locations.
