Error: Jail: <insert app here> has a missing configuration, please check that the dataset is mounted.

Hi everyone, very excited to finally start using FreeNAS!

My setup is FreeNAS installed in a VM on Proxmox, all seems to work fine thus far. Have created two storage partitions and managed to attach both as pools inside FN, one for plugins the other for media.

I have installed Plex and also wish to have unifi, transmission, and haimdell plugins (yes they are not officially supported, if this is not the appropriate forum then I do apologize). However, they all seem to suffer from the exact same error as follows:

So I decided to focus on transmission. I went back to the pool storage and created a dataset:

Then I checked the settings in the advanced setup for transmission as follows:

Jail Settings:
- allow_mount checkbox -> set to true
- allow_mount_* dropdown -> selected "allow_mount_zfs"

Custom Properties:
- jail_zfs checkbox -> set to true
- jail_zfs_dataset -> set to "torrents"
- jail_zfs_mountpoint -> set to "/data/torrents"

Is there something I have missed here?

Thanks

Having tried instructions at this github as follows:

Pulling from Internet
Install a plugin from the internet:

iocage fetch -P jenkins -g https://github.com/ix-plugin-hub/iocage-plugin-index ip4_addr="interface|IPaddress"

where interface is the name of the active network interface and IP address is the desired IP address for the plugin. For example, ip4_addr="igb0|192.168.0.91"

I get the following error:

Same issue with the dataset being mounted... what is happening here?

The fix was to install manually into a jail.

Hello I got the same error: Jail: plexmediaserver has a missing configuration, please check that the dataset is mounted. After some searching I got Plex working temporarily via shell manual install but now I see it's online but cant access gui or via app. So I removed the jail, I want to install via Plugins app. Can someone help me? What info do you need?

I don't know what tell you friend, I installed it manually via the commandline in the jail itself.

I may have used this article not sure: https://www.laurivan.com/freenas-plex-setup
