Full FreeBSD install?

[steveydevey]

I have been using NAS4Free for a few months, and have been really happy with it. It's been stable, fast, and did most of what I wanted it to do. I'm using the Full install, on an internal hard disk (ufs).

There were a few things that I wanted to set up though, like sabnzbd, which gave me some trouble. I quickly found that the base install of FreeBSD for the system was quite stripped down, and I tried to find ways to work around this. I finally gave up after repeated failures to get things installed, and went with a vanilla install of FreeBSD 9.1, and have been toying with that a bit.

I would really like to get NAS4Free installed, because I was really impressed with it on the whole, but I desperately want a complete FreeBSD base system underneath. Is there any easy way to do this, either using the NAS4Free installer, or post-install?

When you use jails, you have almost complete Freebsd. For application jail is OK

I experimented with that a bit, but had some trouble/confusion. I thought it might be easier to start with a clean full install, rather than adding more complexity into my problem. If that's the only real way to accomplish this though, I'll have to look into it further.

Not speaking for alexey, but I would be happy to try and help you sort out your issues. Jails aren't the only way to accomplish this.Attempting to do a clean full install of FreeBSD is.... challenging. However, questions about full fledged FreeBSD are probably best addressed to a FreeBSD forum.

Right, and doing a full install of FreeBSD by itself is not a problem. I just didn't know if there was an easy way to get the full functionality of NAS4Free on top of it, either by installation some packages onto a full system, or by using a different installation method for NAS4Free. I think I'm probably going to be best off just running my normal FreeBSD install and manually adding in the parts and pieces that I want.

Thanks for the help!

Once I tried to install the full FreeBSD + Samba + rsink + ftp + apache + php and tried to set up to get something like FreeNAS 0.72.5543
  I have no desire to repeat that feat.

One way to get the "full functionality of Nas4Free" on a copy of FreeBSD is to..... you guessed it.... build a jail on the FreeBSD system, and take all the files from a full install and put them in the jail.

I sent you a PM, steveydevey.
