https://www.truenas.com/community/r...in-an-iocage-jail-with-hardened-security.143/

The first is a script - I know you earlier said that you did not want a script in order to learn - there's nothing stopping you looking directly at the script on Github to see all the commands and learn about the whole "by example".

The second steps you through the process with you making the command entries and configuration selections.

I suggest you read the comments sections also for both as you will there find fixes and workarounds, also the mistakes made and many remedies for them. I know I had to find a couple of answers there when I successfully installed @danb35's script version. It also taught me something about certificates in the process.

I sense you may be becoming frustrated - getting up the learning curve with this stuff is a hard slog. If you evidence trying by providing clear input on what you have tried, where you are stuck, the details of any error messages, you'll usually find help here. I know you've already some experience of it.

Feeling a bit ill the last couple of days, but can definitely continue to give you a hand over the weekend. You might want to read the documentation on the Github repository to begin with.

Kind regards,
Patrick

Thank You for your advice. It is appreciated. Yes Im getting very frustrated as nothing works as it is supposed to work. for example. Im trying to install ssh on my jail to access it from my Mac Terminal, with the following command. ssh root@<Jail-IP>. Prior to that here is what I have done

Create a new jail call mycloud on static IP-as DHCP is not working on my server??
Command
iocage console mycloud - OK
sysrc sshd_enable=yes - OK
passwd - created a password -OK
service sshd start -OK

then I edited the ssh/sshd_config to enable PermitRootLogin yes and saved

Then from my Mac terminal
ssh root@192.168.0.154 - work ok

ssh-copy-id root@192.168.0.198 (Jail static IP)

root@NASServer[~]# ssh-copy-id root@192.168.0.198
Could not open a connection to your authentication agent.
no keys found.

I have been at it for 8 hours??


root@NASServer[~]#

You need to do the copy-id from your Mac terminal, not logged in to the TrueNAS.

And no, just a common cold. Nose, throat, but no loss of taste, difficulty breathing or anything, so most probably ... cold.

I messed up going on my own. I had to reload the whole server.

Now Can't install SSH on my jail

HE IS WHAT IM GETTING FROM MY MAC TERMINAL WITH THE SSH-COPY-ID

The default interactive shell is now zsh.
To update your account to use zsh, please run `chsh -s /bin/zsh`.

Patrick,
Im getting ready to run danb35 script.

1. The script indicates it will create an iocage Jail for nextcloud. Therefore, should I delete the one I have created?

1. Im currently doing some research to find out if caddy will be able to get a TSL certificate from Let’s Encrypt for the my Public Domain I purchased from EasyDNS and where it is hosted.

1. I set up the Datasets as indicated with 4 sub-datasets on a different storage pool than where the iocage is located

1. The installation procedure indicates to download the script to a convenient directory on my server. Where should that be and how do you create a new directory on a dataset?

1. Then it indicates to change to the new iocage nextcloud directory?
   1. This is not yet created as the script has not been run?
   2. What is the command to change directory and or create a new directory

6. Then it indicates to create a Config file. I know how to use nano now and how to install it but what is the command to create a new file?

This is probably very basic for you, but I'm new to this stuff and I want to learn.

Thank you very me for helping me.

Bureaua,
Sounds your NextCloud ist running actualy i'm writing an documentation (how-to) install
- NextCloud 19.0.3 (20 is not in the FreeBSD pkg space right now)
- MariaDB Web Admin (based on phpmyadmin 5.0)
and optional
- Webmin
everything is installed in the TrueNAS Jail 12-2-p2 on my Host.

But the documentation is not in english right now

Regards and don't forget to backup the NextCloud stuff to have a recovery point, if the Jail / PHP /MariaDB is broken.

Regards
Hannes
