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:

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:
- Created a standard FreeNAS jail (i.e. NOT using the VirtualBox template) following the instructions listed here http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_jails.html#adding-jails.
- I also added read-only storage to an existing volume I intended to backup following the instructions here http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_jails.html#add-storage.
- Install Duplicati pre-requisits:
- pkg install mono #used to run Duplicati
- pkg install libiconv #Duplicati pre-requisite
- Install Duplicati
- pkg install wget #install to download Duplicati
- mkdir /Duplicati #create directory to install Duplicati
- cd /Duplicati # run download commands for here
- copy the url for the latest Duplicati zip file from http://www.duplicati.com/download. In this case Duplicati 2.0.1.22.
- wget http://updates.duplicati.com/experimental/duplicati-2.0.1.22_experimental_2016-09-12.zip #download the latest Duplicati zip file (changing the url based on the step above if needed)
- 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.
