FreeNAS 11 unifi install in jail?

[biggyk]

Has anyone done this? I got it to work in 9.10 but in 11 when I use "make clean install" it says the version doesn't match and I can't go further. Almost makes me just want to buy a cloud key or install it in my Ubuntu vm.

Have you updated the ports tree?

 

[biggyk]

Iv used this guide https://wiki.mattrude.com/FreeNAS/Unifi_Controller_Install

I know it meant for F9.10 but im assuming no I didnt.

 

[danb35]

install it in my Ubuntu vm.

Why don't you want to do that? Seems like the easiest solution, if you already have a Ubuntu VM set up.

Ugh, random blog pages are no place to find how-to's.

I'll be a good net-citizen and will create a UniFi how-to for FN11.

Thank you so much. Its really appreciated.

Doing a run through before I post it. When I do, I'll post it in the resources section at some point tonight. I'll then maybe do a video when I get the chance.

OK, super basic how-to. I'll be expanding on it later.

Also 11gb is a heck of a lot for UniFi controller. I think it was much less in Ubuntu but if I don't have to run Ubuntu I wouldn't.

How are you creating the jail? Make sure you are following this: http://doc.freenas.org/11/jails.html#adding-jails

Il check when I get home. I didn't change anything. Vimage is checked, can't remember nat. Everything is default. I'm logging into ssh with root. I Def have inet access to the jail

Just checked and yes everything is default. I just named it when I added it. NAT is unchecked.

I'm getting something similar. Clean jail on 11-RELEASE:

But this method seems to be compiling an awful damn lot of ports. Is there a way to default to installing binary package dependencies if available, rather than always downloading and compiling port dependencies?

Edit: Destroyed and rebuilt the jail; trying pkg install bash llvm40 openjdk8 before trying to compile the port.

 

[danb35]

OK, after pkg install bash llvm40 openjdk8, the make install clean for unifi5 completed successfully, although it still took two hours to complete. And rather than being nearly 11 GB at the error point, the jail is only taking 2.6 GB of space (edit: though it's entirely possible that if the compile had completed successfully, the clean would have reduced the size on the first try). I'm able to log in to the controller and set it up without issues.

Edit: For context, that two-hour build time wasn't on my main server but a test box--one blade of a Dell C6100, 2x Xeon X5650 CPUs, 48 GB RAM, jails on a mirrored pool of 2 x 6 TB disks. Probably would have gone faster on an SSD, but that does seem like quite a long time.

Thanks, I've added this to the resource.

Great thanks. Il try this when home :)

Almost makes me just want to buy a cloud key

I bought a Cloud Key about 2 months ago, and am very happy with it. Separation of duties.. If something happens to my NAS and it goes down for a few hours, I don't want my APs and Switch to have configuration issues. They're under $100 CAD (with the US exchange that's probably about 11 cents for you Americans these days) so cheap enough. Just make sure you have a PoE injector for it.

I'm in Canada too lol. I just got a replacement Ap from ubiquti. Old want had a broken reset button. Says it had this new Poe injector included?

You'll need a PoE injector for the Cloud Key as well. I bought a nice rack mount 16 port gigabit model from wifi-texas.com (they sell on amazon.ca) and am very happy with it. We have 5 APs, the Cloud Key, six PoE cameras, and PoE IR injectors all going through that (it takes two power supplies if you load it up and the team at wifi-texas are great if you call them up, list what you have and they can figure out what power supplies you need). If you have rack mount devices as I do, search for "wall rack" or "wall mount bracket" on cablesalescanada.com. I put up two 4U models close to my electric panel in the basement and am in the process of cabling up the new house.

Every time I install something on my NAS (other than Plex), I start to feel incomfortable. I see VMs on the NAS as a convenience for something that is related to storage (like Plex, or Syslog). It feels wrong (from the security perspective) to use those VMs for network management. I'm sure it makes little to no difference for most home environments, but that's how I feel..
