Unable to set up Plex iocage jail in FreeNAS 11.2 Beta

[strangelove]

I am setting up a new system using FreeNAS 11.2 Beta. I have already set up a zpool with some datasets. Also an NFS share is working. I would like to have jails for Plex (with plexpass), Syncthing and Transmission. For the setup, I basically followed a guide from the Resource section: here. I already managed to set up a jail for Transmission. When I try to create a jail for Plex, I cannot get it working. It looks like the jail is running, and I am able to ping the default router as well as Google public DNS (8.8.8.8) from inside the jail. However, the Web UI is not accessible from within my LAN at 192.168.1.14:32400/web.

Here are the exact steps taken to set up the Plex jail:

Code:

echo '{"pkgs":["multimedia/plexmediaserver-plexpass","security/ca_root_nss"]}' > /tmp/pkgs.json
iocage create -r 11.1-RELEASE -p /tmp/pkgs.json -n plex ip4_addr="vnet0|192.168.1.4/24" defaultrouter=192.168.1.1 vnet=on boot=on allow_raw_sockets=1
iocage exec plex sysrc plexmediaserver_plexpass_enable=YES
iocage exec plex service plexmediaserver_plexpass start
iocage fstab -a plex "/mnt/tank/media/movies /media/movies nullfs ro 0 0"

After following these steps, I was not able to ping any routes from inside the jail. Adding the following two tunables resolved this issue:

System > Tunables

Variable: cloned_interfaces, Value: bridge0, Type: rc.conf
Variable: ifconfig_bridge0, Value: addm igb0 up, Type: rc.conf

However, I am still not able to access the Web UI from my LAN.

However, I the Web UI is not accessible from within my LAN at 192.168.1.1:32400/web.

Is this a typo? The IP listed in the iocage create command you listed is 192.168.1.4. Try 192.168.1.4:32400/web.

 

[8-bit Yoda]

To point out the obvious... You gave jail an IP address 192.168.1.4

iocage create -r 11.1-RELEASE -p /tmp/pkgs.json -n plex ip4_addr="vnet0|192.168.1.4/24"

... and try to connect to the UI via a different address: 192.168.1.1

The Web UI is not accessible from within my LAN at 192.168.1.1:32400/web.

Is that a typo?

My bad, you're right it is a typo. In fact, I try to connect to the correct address: 192.168.1.4:32400/web.

So what's the output from ifconfig inside the jail and on the FreeNAS host?

Ok, all looks good with the bridge settings.

Is the plex service really running?

In the jail, run..

service plexmediaserver-plexpaas status

 

[sretalla]

Should be an underscore not a dash in my last post. Really don't like the mobile client.

 

[sretalla]

I also misspelled plexpass

 

[strangelove]

service plexmediaserver_plexpass status

Code:

plexmediaserver_plexpass does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable

I must have messed something up during the installation. I destroyed the jail and set it up from scratch (using the commands in my initial post) and now I am able to access the Web UI. Everything seems to be working now. Thanks everyone!
