MineOS plugin TrueNAScore

[MGone]

Hopefully this is a really stupid question...but given that I'm a freedbs noob I thought I'd ask...so no flames please

I'm running TrueNAS-13.0-RELEASE

When installing the MineOS plugin I'm getting a whole ton of notices about npm...which culminates with the final advice:

notice New patch version of npm available! 8.12.1 -> 8.12.2
npm notice Changelog:
npm notice Run `npm install -g npm@8.12.2` to update!
npm notice

SO...I know I need to run the npm install....my question is where?

In the jail root or in my trueNAS root?

Thanks

The jail root.

The FreeNAS/TrueNAS UI does a poor job on flushing the messages from iocage, and sometimes warning and information messages are repeated many times.

Other than that... does the install finish on TrueNAS 13 without destroying the plugin? Does the "Manage" button in the Plugins section take you to the MineOS UI? If so, you don't have to do anything. In fact, I would recommend against updating npm and just stick to the version installed from pkg, as it may break some dependencies.

Thank you @Samuel Tai I've done that...

@Jurgen Segaert The install seems to be clean. I'm not sure how to check if I've lost any dependencies, but after updating the npm i've managed to get my server up and running pretty solidly. Before it would run for 5-10min then just go off line...now I just need to figure out how to configure my network and my son's switch so he can actually access the server with his friends!

Yep, if the MineOS plugin installs cleanly, you're good! If the Minecraft server itself crashes after you run around in the world for a while, you may not have enough memory allocated (set the -Xmx field to at least 4096 MB). You can look at the logs for the individual server(s) in the MineOS UI to help you troubleshoot.

To access the server outside your network, you'll have to set up port forwarding. As an alternative, you can use a tool such as ngrok. There are some threads in this forum discussing this.

Hello, how did you solved problem? Samuel Tai said "the root jail". I dont get it.

Plugins are a dead feature walking at this point and shouldn't be used going forward.

iXsystems, when are you going to stop pretending that CORE has (usable) plugins?

Plugins are broken. We all know it, and you have no intention of fixing them. Most notably, @Kris Moore has said not to use them, and that they're "more or less deprecated": using plugins on CORE is a path to sadness. The plugin system is more or less deprecated and as you can tell, somewhat...
