Testing TheBrig Jails

[foxdoismil]

I am having a big headache with TheBrig jails.
I am sure it is my own fault.

I created a jail for kissdx and TheBrig shows it as working.
I then created a second jail with exact same configurations but named serviio and another named teste.
No mater what I do, only the first jail works.

I press the start button and nothing happens, and worse of all I do not see any log that could tell me what is wrong.

So please, is there a way to manually start it from the console and check a log to see what is wrong with these jails?

please wait a little, there are some detected problems between latest Nas4Free 847 ( and only this version), and master (stable) Thebrig, that do not start the jails.

If you do not want to wait, downgrade N4F to prior version (eg: 804), or send a PM to alexey123 , o fsbruva for instruction of how to install beta ( working branch), but as I say is a question of few days.

Check jail IP and check jail start command. jail start must be

Code: Select all

/bin/sh /etc/rc 

What jail you create - full or slim? If you create slim jail - check /etc/fstab.<jailname> , first line of fstab may be empty.

You can start jail manually very simple

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/jail start <jailname>

All three jails are slim. Today I created a full one and it also does not work.
There is only one /etc/fstab.<jailname> for the first jail.

I tried to delete the non-working jails but they just stay there. Including the full jail.

You can start jail manually very simple

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/jail start <jailname>

The jail that looks good generates this failure:
/etc/rc.d/jail start kissdx
Configuring jails:.
Starting jails:mount: /mnt/Pool-1/jail/kissdx/usr/ports: No such file or directory

All three non working jails gives this failure:
/etc/rc.d/jail start teste
Configuring jails:.
Starting jails:/etc/rc.d/jail: ERROR: jail: No hostname has been defined for teste

Pls, go to Extensions|TheBrig|Tools page, push Export button on Backup Existing Config line.
TheBrig will create xml for his config.

Send config to forum
As example I attach my config

Actually I got the master branch of TheBrig working on the current 847 build of NAS4free, see my post here.

But more important: check the posts following mine! If you had the wiki-jails installed, make sure you really removed them completely (and rebooted if you are not sure you removed all the temporary stuff) before installing TheBrig... this can save you from a lot of headache!

I am experiencing a very weird behavior in my nas: I am not able to delete any jails. I them clicked on the remove TheBrig. It was removed from the GUI.
I then tried bruteforce erasing the jail directories as root. It was not possible. I them tried to erase everything I saw related to jails in my zpool. Still not possible.
Is there a way to get completely rid of any jails so I can start jail installation from scratch again?

P.S. I decided to manually erase because many many functions on nas4 free are not working: Whenever I try to adjust anything on nas4free, I see a message: "You have to reboot the system for the changes to take effect". I reboot and the setting is still there as if I had not done anything. The nas4free is a full installation on an hard disk.

(2 months after) I am trying to understand if there is hope for compatibility. May be I had lost something, and version of TheBrig without jail start promlem already here?
