FreeNAS 11.1-U2 Plex Jail issues

[finsfree]

This is the first time I have tried to use Plex as a Jail on FreeNAS 11.1-U2.

Everything was going fine until I got to the part where I started to "Add Folders" in Plex. I am not seeing the root folder (/). Even if I manually type out the path it doesn't see it. By default, when I open "Add Folder" in Plex I'm brought to /var/db/plexdata/Plex Media Server.

have you added the storage mount points in the Jails gui already? Or in the iocage command line?

I added the mount point in the jail's GUI.

Here's a screenshot of the source and destination setup.

One note and a suggestion:

I note that your definition inside the jail is in all lower case, while the dir on the host FreeNAS starts with a cap (i.e. Media --> media)

Have you had a look inside the jail at the permissions on that directory?

jls to find the number of the jail, then jexec <number> csh to get a command prompt in the jail, then use ls -l in the jail filesystem to find the permissions and for which user.

If you see numbers instead of usernames, that's a guarantee to show that you haven't got your plex user aligned in the Jail and FreeNAS to have permission over the files.

A really non-secure way to fix it without going into the issues of user setup would be chmod -R 777 /media

Otherwise, there are a few articles you should be able to find describing user and permissions setup in a jail.

Hi,
delete your plugin jail
Before you start figure out what the UID and GID is that owns your media dataset, then follow these easy steps



#iocage plugin super easy
#open a shell
Code:

Code:

iocage fetch --plugins ip4_addr="igb0|192.168.0.112/24"

#type 13 enter and plex with plexpass will be installed (if you choose not to use the plexpass option hit 12 and delete the _plexpass


Code:

Code:

iocage console plex
service plexmediaserver_plexpass onestop
pw groupmod plex -n plex -g 1000 #1000 is my UID and GID
pw usermod plex -n plex -u 1000 -g 1000
chown -R plex:plex /usr/local/plexdata-plexpass
service plexmediaserver_plexpass onestart

# open a new shell
#add YOUR MOUNTS mounts...
Code:

Code:

iocage fstab -a plex /mnt/volume01/multimedia /multimedia01 nullfs rw 0 0
iocage fstab -a plex /mnt/volume02/multimedia /multimedia02 nullfs rw 0 0
iocage fstab -a plex /mnt/volume01/db/ssl/user-certs /certs nullfs rw 0 0

go to http://192.168.0.112:32400/web

when you are adding your datasets with in plex you then have to type /multimedia01/tvshows or whatever
