Description

Both of these plugins eventually install. However, I have not been able to get either to successfully install the first time, if no plex jail exists. Once an install fails, it makes a broken plex jail then the second installation attempt reliably succeeds (in plex_2, plex_3 and so on). Debug to be attached.

Brandon, I see at least 3 issues here:

1.
/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/iocage_lib/ioc_plugin.py\", line 723, in fetch_plugin_index\n self.plugin = input(\"\\nType the number of the desired

2.
File \"/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/iocage_lib/ioc_plugin.py\", line 172, in fetch_plugin\n sys.exit(1)

3.
Lots of download errors

These can be seen in the debugs, under system (there is a core.get_jobs output).

Regarding 3, we really need to do something about it. We have to accept the fact that downloads will fail and that connections are flaky (not everybody has a gigabit fiber).
We need a mechanism to retry in case of network failures.

  • Status changed from Unscreened to Not Started

1 - https://redmine.ixsystems.com/issues/39653 <-- Dupe of that ticket
2 - If the session is using an interactive middleware, they will see sys.exit, otherwise it should never happen
3 - Interesting, agreed.

Also of note is pkg-static missing on your jail dru, perhaps some other failure happened? That shouldn't be the case.

Couldn't reproduce on Dru's machine, a different bug got fixed that her machine ran into. Will verify with a different nightly.
