Can’t install any plugins. error: 13.2-RELEASE was not found!
Freshly installed Truenas core TrueNAS-13.0-U6.2.
I tried to install plex, jellyfin, iconic. nothing worked.
Can anyone help me please?
I tried to instal scale. Failed. “Installing TrueNas Scale: Can not find sda3 Not a block device”
So I’m stuck with Core. Hehe
That’s because plugins are dead and unmaintained. As is 12.4-RELEASE, and any release up to 13.2-RELEASE.
The ultimate solution is to update to the 13.3-BETA2 (or wait a week for the 13.3-RELEASE) and install software in manual jails.
But with IX ditching the BSD world and moving to linux, you might be better off going with TrueNAS SCALE.
Thank you for your answer. I will wait for a few days for the new release.
Thought it was my hardware problem. The plugin stopped working today after I removed one of the two hard drives. Bummmer
Agreed, 13.3-RELEASE jails don’t have a long life expectancy as well, so you’d probably be best off migrating to SCALE in the coming months.
Thank you guys.
I updated it to 13.3-beta. still got the same problem. now i’m updating it to scale…let’s see
Which is expected, because plugins on CORE don’t work anymore.
You were suggested to manually install them in jails as opposed to using plugins, but SCALE looks better suited to your needs for a number of reasons.
Thank you for your prompt answer.
I tried to upgrade it to Scale. the upgrade failed, due to some middleware problem.
So I’m back to Core now… thanks anyway. I might explore other nas systems.
I suggest making a fresh install since you don’t have any data in the system yet.
can any one guide me about this problem
The answer to you is the same as to OP: Plugins are dead; don’t use them.
I solved my problem of using Plex. I switched from trueNas Plex plugin to Windows Plex server. I installed windows. Hehe
This also worked for me, thanks! But how do you link the windows plex app to the nas server when you cannot install the server plugin?
I assume he’s using a share as if it were a mount point for his media directory.
I replaced truenas with Windows 10. I no longer use Truenas.
Maybe sometime in the future I may switch to Trunas. But not now.
So Windows 10 + Plex windows server on my server PC.
PLEX media player on my Smart TV.
It works great now.
Thanks! But do you have to leave your computer running?
Yes. It’s on 24/7.
I can now use programs on my Windows to organize the movie files too.
Late June the FreeBSD foundation moved 13.2 to “EOL” status FreeBSD | endoflife.date
As such, it is no longer available at the typical place that the plugin installer is expecting, download.freebsd.org
You should be able to work around the issue by running
iocage fetch --root-dir /pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/amd64/ --server ftp-archive.freebsd.org
And then selecting 13.2-RELEASE by typing 41.
After you manually pull down the OS you should be able to install as normal in the GUI.
Pretty crazy to have a “dead and unmaintained” feature still heavily featured in the UI. Are they planning to remove them next release?
What’s the current recommendation for a jail alternative?
Jails are not an “unsupported” feature. They just work on BSD.
Plugins on the other hand, are unsupported.
Unfortunately the only other option is to migrate to SCALE.
Or leave TrueNAS completely and use something like XigmaNAS.
Plugins was what I was referring to.
I understand that Jails still exist as an underlaying FreeBSD feature, but to put it in a straightforward manner, if I wanted to mess with Jails directly I would have just installed vanilla FreeBSD on my NAS.
If I want to run something like a plugin, ie, software I can click and install from the GUI and have it just work automatically, what is the current path for TrueNas Core users? Virtual Machines?
