FAMP > It works! > now what?

[SecCon]

Is there any documentation on FAMP?

Pointing the browser to the dedicated IP and get an "It works!" is of course encouraging, but I need an INTERFACE to setup sites on.
I need an INTERFACE for parameters and settings.
I need to be able to edit files. Access database. Upload files to directory. Install webs on it (wordpress, drupal, piwigo, nextcloud, matomo).

Maybe you want to install something like webmin... https://www.webmin.com/docs.html

pkg install webmin

You do know I can install webmin standalone? I don't need TrueNAS for that.

To me it is an alternative to TrueNAS, with the obvious exception of the storage options.

Google or your other favorite search engine?

What exactly are you asking about? From your post you've obviously got a FAMP stack working but what do you expect from this point? A FAMP (or FEMP, LAMP, LEMP) stack is the foundation, the rest is up to you where you go from there.

I expect documentation to be on IX Github or this site, we have a subforum for plugins.

Q: How do I setup a WordPres site using FAMP as server?
Q: How do I change php.ini?
Q: How do I access the database?

All of these question have nothing to do whatsoever with TrueNAS. So IMHO this is the wrong point to expect this kind of documentation.
A jail is just a lightweight FreeBSD virtual machine. TrueNAS provides jails. Once they are up and running TrueNAS job is done.

Google FreeBSD Wordpress for example ...

Ah, ok . So the only reason the have a site hosted by truenas jail is the ability to have it stored more securely using zfs and related functions.

And do snapshots of your jails. And replication for backup. And run N jails for an arbitrary number of applications - which eases package management and updates by quite a lot. And do management (start/stop/update ...) from outside for all your jails. And ...

You can sum that up under "related functions", yes.

These are my jails at the moment:

Code:

@work I have three data centre locations full of jails - about a thousand of them. One jail per customer and customer application. Whatever they deploy in there by the means of Ansible, git, composer, whatever ... not my business.

I had no intention of diminishing the importance of the "related functions". It is just not a priority right now.

I understand what webmin is and what it does (which is why I suggested it in answer to your post).

If you install that package in your FAMP jail, you could then use it to upload files and manage the databases with an INTERFACE (as you requested) for the FAMP jail. You would almost certainly not use all features of webmin in that jail (and that wasn't what I was proposing)

If your intent was to complain about the lack of features in the plugin, feel free to propose your improvements to the code on github.

As pointed out by others though, the plugin itself already does do exactly what it promises, which is to stand up a FAMP stack.

This functionality (Browsing files on the NAS) has been added to TrueCommand in the latest nightlies of version 2.
