I've seen people talking about running certain applications custom built in jails that are available as pre built plugins and I was wondering what the real benefit was for this. Is there any reason besides the educational aspect of setting it all up yourself considering that the plugins are also set up in jails?
I have seen people mentioning that it is harder to upgrade plugins then software that has just been set up in jails, why is this? Is there any real difference between the way a plugin is set up in a jail and something that you set up yourself in a jail? Are the plugins not just preconfigured for you in the same way you would set them up yourself?
I obviously see the benefit of setting things up yourself as you know exactly how they are configured and that is part of the reason I am using FreeNAS as opposed to an out-of-the-box solution. However, from a performance point of view will there be any real difference between something you set up yourself properly, and a plugin you have used?
What have people's experiences been with the plugins?
