How to install memcached and redis (pkg updating fails)

[KrisStaf88]

Hi,

I use :
FreeNAS-9.10.2-U6 (561f0d7a1).
FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE (FreeNAS.amd64)
I login as a root by putty.

I want to have Gogs or Gitlab on my freeNas, but installation ins't a simple, as other plugins in jail. Both gogs or gitlab needs to update package-s to install additional stuff like: memcached and redis by command:
[root@freenas] /# /usr/sbin/pkg install -y memcached redis


Of course, above inst possible, because there is no packages. So I'm tying to update a pkg and I got (logs bellow).
Could you help me with it ?

[root@freenas] /# /usr/sbin/pkg update -f

Bellow are other stuff, that I tried do, and may help to find a solution.

Really simple fix for FreeNAS 11. Disable the local cache and enable FreeBSD.

set this to enabled: no /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/local.conf
set this to enabled: yes/usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf

Hi, thank you for advice!
I used/changed to "YES" in second line only. The first directory I have not changed (is YES too).

Thanks, I was having the same issue.

After spending more time with FreeNAS, I've learned it is strongly advised against enabling the FreeBSD repo directly on the host operating system. If you want to install third party applications via the BSD repo, it is recommended to create a jail and do your work in there.

Noob here, where is the file telling freenas jail where to update packages?
*Edit: if it's supposed to be here: /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf then it does not exist in my jail. This is a nextcloud jail created when I ran the danb35 NC install script.
