Webinterface not reachable

TrueNAS General
1

Hello,

It was running fine and then I added in my Home Assistent docker and added my Sonoff dongle. Also no issues. But then It did not work and I saw in a youtube video that you needed to add the usb port to the Virtual Machine. So I added 2 usb devices and rebooted. And now the Webinterface is not working anymore. Hooked it to the TV and I see my Ip-adres 192.168.50.10 but ping does not give my anything.

Then I also noticed that my keyboard is not reacting to anything. Used all 3 usb’ port but nothing. When rebooting I see that the keyboard is working in my bios for instance.

Anybody have an idea how to solve this? I also tried ssh into my machine but that also does not react as you can imagine.

Any tips, idea’s are welcome.

Thanks,
Bjorn

Please describe your hardware. In all likelihood, you’re stuck with reinstalling, if you’ve added your USB bridges to the Docker app, and created a tail wagging the dog situation.

I have an intel nuc model nuc10fnk. so reinstalling is the only solution :cry:

Ok now I am trying to reinstall truenas but I get this message when it want’s to format the harddisk.

Command mount /cdrom/TrueNAS-SCALE.update
/tmp/tmpik29zwgu -t squashfs -o loop failed:

In shell I tried fsdisk command but that was not found. Any idea how I can continue?

You may need to reburn your thumb drive in Rufus.

Ok I reinstalled but when making a pool I cannot select the harddisk.

/dev/sda1 4096 6143 2048 1M BIOS boot
/dev/sda2 6144 1054719 1048576 512M EFI System
/dev/sda3 1054720 468862094 467807375 223.1G Solaris /usr & Apple ZFS

Does anybody know why not?

Taking a guess you are showing the disk you installed TrueNAS on. Do you have another disk for the data pool? TrueNAS requires at least two disks, one for boot-pool and one for the data pool

8

That’s your boot pool, which is unavailable for use. Check your data disks and cables.

I only have one harddisk inside of the NUC. But I guess that I then have to resize (to 32gb) the current one that is being used for the boot-pool and make a new partition (190gb) to use as the data-pool.

Can I resize the current one when also running true-nas? I guess not I need to boot with a usb stick and then use fdisk I guess of fstab?

I also have an external harddisk but I did not attached that one yet…

The boot-pool is on a single disk by default.

Boot Drive

You cannot use a system with just a single disk drive. You need a dedicated drive just for the firmware install and boot and at least one more drive for your data.

12

One reason among many that a NUC is not suitable hardware for TrueNAS. Perhaps a different OS would better fit your needs?

You certainly can use TN with only 1 drive.

It’s not supported, etc, but it’s false to say that it’s impossible.

But the easiest, set it and forget it method, is to boot from an external SSD drive and use the internal drive for the data/apps pool. That’s how I have 90% of my TN servers.

Fair. But if you have to ask how to do it, you shouldn’t be doing it.

Ok I am sort of back and running again. Don’t know if I now should start a new thread to be honest :slight_smile:

I started Home Assistant and it was working but except the Sonoff/Zigbee device was not found. So added the usb disk as passtrough and now the VM is spinning and does not get any further anymore. I search but it seems you cannot edit the config in the shell because it’s saved in a database? So now the question is how to fix/remove/edit the VM?
