Yes, but it does not work with anything else but the plex media server. What I would like to help update is the nextcloud plugin.Works with jails also
Why have this discussion taken the form of a war between a fraction thinking that this isn't an issue at all and that we should all just install our own functionality in a normal jail and a fraction that just wants to say that the plugins are not up to date? I think we need to aknowledge that iXSystems have a lot of work to do to make all the missing features available for the 11.1 release (read docker support and a fully implemented new frontend) and that they have decided to go with an iocage solution going forward and that they therefore most likely will not focus on updating the old plugins at all.
Therefore we have the following options:
- Install our impliances ourselves in a normal jail and keep them uptodate ourselves
- Find a way to help update the old, mostly abandoned, plugin system (Please if someone knows how to contribute to this I still am wondering how to help update the existing plugins)
- Wait for the 11.1 release where we have two options
- Use Docker images (which as I understand also includes the overhead of an operating system but maybe I have the wrong understanding of this)
- Use iocage plugins (which is both more uptodate and also easier to help update with pull requests for the github repositories for recipies)
