Upgrading transmission plugin

[mpfusion]

I have issues upgrading my transmission plugin. All non-plugin jails upgraded fine but transmission, the single plugin jail I have, just doens't. Currently it's running 12.1-RELEASE-p13. The other jails are on 12.2-RELEASE-p6. As far as I understand this can't be done through the GUI.

The command I used is iocage upgrade transmission -r 12.2-RELEASE. The output:

Code:

transmission successfully upgraded!

The last line doesn't seem to be quite true as “Jails → Release” still lists 12.1-RELEASE-p13 for this jail.

Why is this failing and how to successfully upgrade the plugin?

Is the same for me,

Code:

root@freenas[~]# iocage list
+-----+--------------+-------+--------------+-----------------+
| JID |     NAME     | STATE |   RELEASE    |       IP4       |
+=====+==============+=======+==============+=================+
| 8   | jackett      | up    | 12.2-RELEASE | 192.168.0.63    |
+-----+--------------+-------+--------------+-----------------+
| 10  | radarr       | up    | 12.2-RELEASE | 192.168.0.62/24 |
+-----+--------------+-------+--------------+-----------------+
| 9   | sonarr       | up    | 12.2-RELEASE | 192.168.0.61/24 |
+-----+--------------+-------+--------------+-----------------+

| 5   | unifi        | up    | 12.2-RELEASE | 192.168.0.5     |

maybe it's a maintaining thing https://github.com/freenas/iocage-plugin-transmission/issues/6

transmission plugin

There it is right there...

Plugins control the release which they will use, not you.

You can upgrade only if the plugin supports the version you are upgrading to.

I have the same with Plex. I guess at one point int time it will be fixed.

As 12.1 is EOL'd and therefore unsupported and all other jails sucessfully upgraded to 12.2 I assumed there's something wrong with this jail as I don't think it'll be designed to run on an unsupported EOL'd release. But apparently that's what's happened here.

Thanks for the resposes. I guess the only thing to do is wait until an update shows up.

Hi,

I have the same problem. iocage upgrade transmission -r 12.2-RELEASE seems to have worked but iocage and the TrueNAS UI show the old version. I see that the json files for the jail are showing the old release version, too.

Code:

sudo iocage list                   
+-----+--------------+-------+--------------+------+
| JID |     NAME     | STATE |   RELEASE    | IP4  |
+=====+==============+=======+==============+======+
| 9   | transmission | up    | 12.1-RELEASE | DHCP |
+-----+--------------+-------+--------------+------+

Code:

cat /mnt/tank/iocage/jails/transmission/config.json     
{
    "basejail": 1,
    "boot": 1,
    "bpf": 1,
    "dhcp": 1,
    "host_hostname": "transmission",
    "host_hostuuid": "transmission",
    "jail_zfs_dataset": "iocage/jails/transmission/data",
    "last_started": "2021-05-02 09:35:12",
    "nat_forwards": "tcp(9091:9091)",
    "plugin_name": "transmission",
    "plugin_repository": "https://github.com/ix-plugin-hub/iocage-plugin-index.git",
    "release": "12.1-RELEASE-p13",
    "type": "pluginv2",
    "vnet": 1,
    "vnet0_mac": "xxxxx xxxx"
}                                          

Code:

cat /mnt/tank/iocage/jails/transmission/transmission.json
{
    "name": "Transmission",
    "plugin_schema": "2",
    "release": "12.1-RELEASE",
    "artifact": "https://github.com/freenas/iocage-plugin-transmission.git",
    "official": false,
    "properties": {
        "nat": 1,
        "nat_forwards": "tcp(9091:9091)"
    },
    "pkgs": [
        "transmission-daemon",
        "transmission-web"
    ],
    "packagesite": "http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest",
    "fingerprints": {
        "iocage-plugins": [
            {
                "function": "sha256",
                "fingerprint": "xxxxxx"
            }
        ]
    },
    "revision": "0"
}

uname inside the jail shows the new release:

Code:

root@transmission:~ # uname -a
FreeBSD transmission 12.2-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p6 f2858df162b(HEAD) TRUENAS  amd64

This file has "release": "12.2-RELEASE", listed.

Shouldn't iocage pull this? Is it safe to just edit the config files? Will this break anything?

Thanks!

@D-7 Maybe you should file a bug report. Looks like the upgrade path is supposed to be there, but in reality it's still blocked.

that's why I switched to manual installs instead of using plugins .. just easier to maintain/keep up to date with both the jail itself and whatever I install in that jail
