Updated: I resolved my issue, I was trying to install the wrong version of Duplicati. I've updated the procedure I followed to install it below (A Big Thank you Marc Allard).

With novice unix/linux skills, I’m trying to setup Duplicati 2.0 in a FreeNAS jail. My FreeNAS build is FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201605170422. I've had issues with CrashPlan so I thought I'd try Duplicati and I need to backup my NAS prior to upgrading to FreeNAS 9.10.

I’m basically trying to follow Marc Allard’s instructions located here https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...l-duplicati-2-in-a-jail-in-freenas-9-3.28233/. Being a novice I needed detailed steps and had trouble making this work. Here are the steps and commands I have typed into the jail shell via the FreeNAS GUI:
  • Setup a standard FreeNAS jail via the FreeNAS GUI:
All commands below are typed in via the jail shell in the FreeNAS GUI using root user.​
  • Install Duplicati pre-requisits:
    • pkg install mono #used to run Duplicati
    • pkg install libiconv #Duplicati pre-requisite
  • Install Duplicati
    • unzip duplicati-2.0.1.22_experimental_2016-09-12.zip #upack Duplicati, change the zip file name based on the url above if needed
  • Run duplicati to confirm it works:
    • mono /Duplicati/Duplicati.Server.exe --webservice-port=8200 --webservice-interface=any --webservice-password=secret_password &
    • go to a browser and enter http://jail.ip.address:8200 (changing jail.ip.address to the actual IP address of your jail)
    • a Duplicati password dialog should appear (password is set by the password= parameter above, in this case secret_password)
  • Next step is to make it run automatically
    • Refer to Marc Allard's instructions.
Thanks.
