Newt app problem

I get “internal server error” on the truenas service web page. Pangolin shows “online” to site. Newt appeared to install ok in truenas and is running. The log shows the following errors:
“Failed to create config directory: mkdir /.config: permission denied
Failed to save config: open /.config/newt-client/config.json: no such file or directory”

There is no parameter for config in the Newt app.

Newt can be configured with environment variables for use with Docker, which is what TrueNAS is using behind the scenes to deploy what it calls Apps. The variable you need to set is CONFIG_FILE.

In the app config in TrueNAS, under the Newt secret, there’s a button to add environment variables. That’s where you can add CONFIG_FILE and point it to the filesystem path of the config (relative to the Newt docker container mount point).

But it sounds like you have permission issues with your Docker environment and the underlying filesystem/pool/share you’re using for Docker.
