Attention FreeNAS users – The FreeBSD 11.3-RELEASE is now past it’s EOL date.
This has been causing various issues for the Home Assistant plugin on *FreeNAS* , that seem beyond my control. To my understanding, as packages in the FreeBSD repos have been updated, some are no longer compatible with the 11.3-RELEASE. From the limited number of Google results I can find, the solution is upgrading to a supported RELEASE.
I am not able to support using this plugin with the expired 11.3-RELEASE base.
---
At this time, there no plans for switching the FreeNAS plugins to the 11.4-RELEASE and I have not found another way to make this plugin use the next release. To my knowledge, using the 11.4-RELEASE on FreeNAS, can only be accomplished by manually creating jail.
This leaves two options for Home Assistant:
1. Manually creating an 11.4-RELEASE jail on FreeNAS 11.3
2. Switch your FreeNAS to the TrueNAS-12.0-Stable train
There are several people who have opted for upgrading to TrueNAS Core. So far, everyone has been able to restore Home Assistant to full functionality after doing so. If you're ready to upgrade, I think this is the best option. An updated version of OpenSSL is already included in the FreeBSD base, which requires no workarounds for Home Assistant. Other issue that are appearing in the 11.3-RELEASE, simply do not exist.
For those choosing to upgrade, I've started a wiki page to help get your existing plugin working again on TrueNAS Core
