[HOWTO] Install TheBrig - one Jail manager for N4F

[cookiemonster]

success ! - The jail was fine, the problem was with the squeezebox touch, it must have had the cached settings tripping it up. Restarted it and it can now connect to LMS.
Many thanks.
Now, to see if I can get a plugin to wake the server up with a magic packet. I'll have to have a think, it might not be possible as this is a server within a server by the looks of it. I'm new to jails.

Now, to see if I can get a plugin to wake the server up with a magic packet. I'll have to have a think, it might not be possible as this is a server within a server by the looks of it. I'm new to jails.

FreeBSD Jails are not "real" VM's, they basically chroot to the new subroot and reroute some system calls and enforce some security rules. If u don't use VIMAGE as network stack (newer feature for jails) it will even reuse the host stack. So think of it like a very lightweight VM, that reuse your host kernel/network stack.

[Roelf]

So u can start the Jail?
How do u test internet connectivity of the Jail?

In the host machine u basically use the commands "jls" to list all jails, "jexec {jailnumber} csh" to start a shell inside the jail.
Inside the jail u can try "pkg update" and see if u get a connection, also check if "resolve.conf" inside the jail has valid dns entries.

Here are some outputs u can post so we can try understand whats wrong. (remove the loopback and ipfw adapters)
on the host machine with a jail started: "jls", "ifconfig", "ipfw list"
inside the jail "ifconfig", "pkg update", "whois google.com".

bye
Andy

PS: The "raw sockets" are only needed to use ping/tracert, so u might get a outside connection even without those enabled. The concept is u "allow" them by "security.jail.allow_raw_sockets=1" in the sysctl.conf and actually "activate" them per jail via "allow.raw_sockets=1" in the "Addition Parameters" field for the jail.

hi Andy

This is what is inside /etc/resolv.conf - the same on the host and the jail
domain local
nameserver 192.168.0.1

192.168.0.1 is the IP of my router - the gateway, and in there i have the DNS (primary and secondary) defined as defined by my ISP.


Here are the outputs i get.

try change the nameserver to google "8.8.8.8", this can be done under "System/General/DNS Settings" via webgui. Check if the change is also made inside the jail, if not just manually change it.

Try setup the host IP/gateway manually via "Network/Lan Management", than do a "/etc/rc.d/netif restart" and "/etc/rc.d/routing restart".

Configured the LAN on the GUI - it actually did not change anything cause it was all correct.

I need help on your comment "Then do a /etc ...." - how do i do that... ? (sorry - noob, i know...)

[Andy22]

I need help on your comment "Then do a /etc ...." - how do i do that... ? (sorry - noob, i know...)

Just copy&paste those commands into the shell, they will restart services since nas4free cant do this via "service xy restart", so we need to enter the "/etc/rc.d/" directory and call the script there.

Ok - here's what i get.

I noticed the "status: no carrier" - so i did a ping:
nas4free: rc.d # ping http://www.google.com
ping: cannot resolve http://www.google.com: Host name lookup failure

I then tried to start with "/etc/rc.d/netif start"
but still get the same afterwards. I then did a /etc/rc.d/netif stop - which resulted in the server "hanging at" "Stopping Network", and I ended up restarting the NAS (hard restart). After login again - I tried the routing restart command, entered the jail, tried whois, same problem...

[Roelf]

SUCCESS... but not with the Brig though...

I restored a previous, pre-"theBrig" setup of N4F, and manually built a jail again as per this link:
http://lameguy.wordpress.com/2013/02/05 ... e-install/
worked first time, can connect, the whole effort.
My 2cent's worth, the first time i used that link (the one i posted) i struggled for long getting the jail running, but now that i have a bit of background, I find the link (manual setup) a bit easier than the Brig. I do feel the bring (like for example the FSTAB editor) to use quite hard-core terms...
Would love to see the work continue on the The Brig though - it's a great piece of kit!
Thanks for all your help

In the script, I can not find this character. '<'

Did u use "fetch" to get the script directly under nas4free shell?
This happens to me sometimes, if i download scripts via windows and just copy them to nas4free via scp. I need to open/edit+save/close such scripts with WinSCP once, so the encoding gets fixed.

you install master branch that are really obsolete, please change your last line:

to this line:

Code: Select all

/bin/sh /tmp/thebrig_install.sh /mnt/pool/jail 2

notice the 2 ant the end

as is described in step 3: viewtopic.php?f=79&t=3894

this time must work and you install latest working version

Damn, I forgot this "2" at the end of the last line.

Thank you, it's works like magic now.

error exist I suspect a problem in thebring that is not updated since N4F is on BSD 9.1 but as you say it still works, so the only I can do is wait until alexey123 or fsbruva read this post, and revise/update thebring code.

Welcome back!

[JiePieWie]

I've been using a jail since a year now (SABnzbd/Sickbeard) but now i've run in a problem. Last week i installed a new networkcard. Nas4Free is running fine and instead of previously 'sis0' it's using 're0' now when i look at "Network -> Interface management":


But now my jail refuses to start SABnzbd and Sickbeard. I see errors like this example from SABnzbd:

error: [Errno 49] Can't assign requested address

The jail itself is running fine and i can logon to it without issues. What i do see is that according to TheBrig the interface of my jail is still 'sis0':

I think that is the main issue right now. How can i change this without having to reinstall everything ?

[raulfg3]

stop your jail, edit it to select new LAN NIC and save, restart.

[JiePieWie]

stop your jail, edit it to select new LAN NIC and save, restart.

Yes, i know that but i can't find the place to change the LAN interface in either TheBrig or in the jailconfig. I see only this in TheBrig/Jail/Edit:



Where should i look ?

[raulfg3]

Where should i look ?

You are doing things well, but thebrig need a changed parameter to save changes (if previosly have LAN and now is LAN) none is saved, so try to change IP from 192.168.1.157/32 to 192.168.1.157/24 this time must work.
PD: post "thebrig" log to see what happens

[raulfg3]

I'll test it and let you know what happens. Where is that logfile btw ?

if you install the latest working version of thebrig, you can see a new tab named logs, where thebrig saves his own log, and you can configure to see log of packages installed on jails ( like minidlna log, plex log, etc....)

Hi Guys

thanks for all the work here! I have just gone through and got everything working almost perfectly thanks to the forum here and have made a detailed video of the steps i took.

It's here to help so feel free to use it where ever it can help. I also made one of the ownCloud install script as well and will put it in the owncloud forum as well but here is a link to it as well.
