Unable to install HOMEBRIDGE PLUGIN

[damdude]

I am keep running into below error

Code:

Error: HOMEBRIDGE had a failure Exception: RuntimeError Message: pkg error: - pkg-static: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/meta.txz: No address record pkg-static: http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/quarterly/packagesite.txz: No address record Please check your network Partial plugin destroyed

I was able to install to plugin like 30 min ago but doesn't work anymore. I am not sure what went wrong. Anyone know how to debug this. ?

Did you ever resolve this error? I am experiencing the same issue and need any help I can get!

I’m assuming from your other reply in a 4 year old thread you have just started using TrueNAS CORE or perennially even FreeNAS.

You need to update to latest version of CORE, as versions 11-12-13.1 jails are EOL and can’t get any packages.

I am running TrueNAS Core -13.0-U6.1.

Oh ok. Well anyway, plug-ins are dead. You should not be using them. I would recommend you give TrueNAS SCALE a go. I believe it has a home bridge app.

Deploy a standard FreeBSD 13.2 jail - it's important to use that version. Then manually install the homebridge app in that jail.

You can even use the plugin template as a recipe:

So you want to pkg install python node npm dbus avahi-libdns gcc nss-mdns and then follow the post install script to get the application up and running.
