Jails on FreeNAS

Part of my HomeLab and FreeNAS.

Jails runs FreeBSD, so if you are familiar with the OS you shouldn't have much issues using it.

[TODO] Add Screenshots

jexec <jail_id> csh

Note: I will be using Transmissionbt for this example.

• Install Transmission

pkg install transmission

• Add the following lines to /etc/rc.conf with:

vi /etc/rc.conf

transmission_enable="YES"
transmission_watch_dir="/srv/torrents/autoload"
transmission_download_dir="/srv/torrents/data"

• Add authentication to the Transmission Settings with

vi /usr/local/etc/transmission/home/settings.json

"rpc-authentication-required": true,
"rpc-username": "admin",
"rpc-password": "password",
"rpc-whitelist": "127.0.0.1,192.168.1.*",

• Start the Daemon with

service transmission start

• Access the WebUI via

<JAIL_IP>:9091

• You can stop the service with:

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/transmission stop

Export with:

iocage export

Import with:

 iocage import
