Install script for Domoticz with open-zwave driver in iocage jail

A friend of mine, who is into home automation, wanted to install the domoticz system with drivers for the Aeotec Z-Stick Z-Wave USB stick into FreeNAS 11.1. I took as a challenge to find out, how difficult would it be to write a fairly complex, but fully automatic installation script of a FreeNAS jail.

This script is based on the wiki article at https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/FreeNAS
Also, man iocage and the FreeBSD iocage documentation at https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iocage&sektion=8 are great resources.

This was originally done for a warden jail. The code that has to do with devfs rules was necessary there, but now that this script creates the domoticz jail in iocage, some of that code is superfluous. Also, some other services are installed in my friend's domoticz jail, so some settings in this script are not necessary just for domoticz.

The jail needs access to the Z-Wave USB device /dev/cuaU0 in the host system. In the iocage jail I could not access this device until I set devfs_ruleset=0. This basically gives the jail potentially access to everything in the host's /dev. I think the correct way would be to give access to only those devices that the jail really needs access to. I just couldn't figure out the correct devfs settings. Feel free to experiment with the iocage jail settings.

At the start of the script you will find some settings, which you should set before running the script.

JAIL_IP is the ip4_addr property. That is, the interface name and the ipv4 address and netmask you want to give for the jail. You can use e.g. vnet0 for the interface. If the start of this string is "vnet", the script will set vnet=on for the jail automatically. Note: to use vnet in iocage, you may need to set some tunables in FreeNAS. You can find many threads about that topic on this forum.

DEFAULT_ROUTER is the default router's ipv4 address.

For DOMOTICZ_DB_DIR you may enter a directory or a dataset on the FreeNAS side to be used as the database directory for domoticz. If this directory does not exist when you run this script, then this setting will not be applied, and domoticz will have it's database only in /var/db/domoticz/ in the jail.

If AUTOBOOT=1, then the script will set boot=on for the jail. If AUTOBOOT=0, then the boot property will not be set.

That's all you need to do. When you start the script, everything will be automatic. It takes about 15 minutes for the script to do this installation in my Freenas 11.1 VM. When the script has finished, it will show you the URL to access domoticz. Note: if domoticz seems unresponsive, turn off adblocking in your browser.

Obviously, this installation is of little use, if you don't have the Z-Wave USB stick or any other compatible device. You can still install domoticz, but there isn't much to to do in domoticz, if you don't have any hardware to play with.

With this script I want to show that it is quite possible to write "one click" installation scripts for iocage jails in FreeNAS 11.1.

To undo everything this script does, just type
iocage destroy domoticz
and delete user "domoticz" and group "domoticz" from FreeNAS.

The code is just ONE script file.
Code:
#!/bin/bash

# Network settings:
JAIL_IP="em0|192.168.0.102/24"
DEFAULT_ROUTER="192.168.0.1"

Hello,
i've managed to install and run domo in warden for a few years now. And also updated it by the knowledge i've gathered using google. It's currently still running in warden, but i've upgraded to 11.2 and tried to install a new instance to iocage, but have problems runnig your script.
I know for sure that the problem is in the lack of my knowledge, which is based on google.
I created a new jail (domo) and when i edited the script to my needs (set the ip and new uid/guid name) i've got following when i ran script:
Code:
root@domo:/ # /bin/sh domo_inst.sh
id: domoticz2: no such user
id: domoticz2: no such user
id: domoticz2: no such user
**************************************************************
*
domo_inst.sh: 1: not found
*
**************************************************************
domo_inst.sh: ${JAIL_IP:0...}: Bad substitution

Sorry for replying to an old topic, but I can't seem to find any more up to date info on this matter anywhere.

I am trying to install Domoticz on my Freenas server (11.2 U8). Obviously this cannot be done the old way with a warden jail. I'll have to use iocage.

I'm sure I'm not doing this right or am missing some crucial steps.
But if I SSH into my Freenas with Putty and try to run your script, nothing happens.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, I used to be able to create jails just fine (with the help of Google) in the FreeNas 9.x era. But now I'm lost.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction if there are any stepts that need to be done before running the script.

Hmm.... got as far as running the script now.
"11.1-Release was not found!"

I guess thats the end of that :(

Ok... had that fixed by editing the script where it says:
iocage create -n "domoticz" -r 11.1-RELEASE -p $TMPFILE ip4_addr="$JAIL_IP" \
to
iocage create -n "domoticz" -r 11.2-RELEASE -p $TMPFILE ip4_addr="$JAIL_IP" \

Next error pops up:
ifconfig: interface em0 does not exist

I assume that refers to:
#!/bin/bash

# Network settings:
JAIL_IP="em0|192.168.0.102/24"
DEFAULT_ROUTER="192.168.0.1"

My interface for freenas is configured as re0, should I change the script to re0, or will I break things?

OK... having a conversation with myself :)

Reading helps!

Over here: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=iocage&sektion=8 I read the following:
On shared IP jails, an interface name given before the IP
address adds an alias to that interface. If the DEFAULT
keyword is given instead of an interface name, the inter-
face is automatically assigned based on the system's de-
fault interface.

Now the script ran all the way and I was greeted with the message that install was succesfull and domoticz could be found at 192.168.1.102:8080.

HOWEVER... When I type that into my browser, I get into Freenas, not Domoticz... I'm guessing the interface name has got something to do with that...?

Time for more research...

Searching and reading some more I came across this: https://iocage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/networking.html

Now I'm at a loss...
Reading the above I think VNET is what I want?
If I look at the script, VNET = on.
What am I missing? Why do I end up with my FreeNas loginscreen instead of domoticz when I enter the configured IP.
Any help appreciated.

I had a vnet issue. I solved it by leaving the "interface name" blank in the jail configuration.

Final addition for the day.
# iocage get vnet domoticz, teaches me that VNET = off, which is strange because in the script I clearly see VNET = on.

But anyway, now I'm even more confused, I assume I should follow these steps: https://iocage.readthedocs.io/en/latest/networking.html#vimage-vnet
But I'm clueless how that works, perhaps something for another day... unless someone has some good pointers for me.

Thanks for the hint, unfortunately no dice...
Installs fine, but loops back to my Freenas login screen just as well.

You chose a different IP for the jail than FreeNAS as requested ?

Guess : check network (or system) setting to make sure only 192.168.1.5 allows to reach FreeNAS (and there are no aliases)

You could try another Jail IP just in case.
