Luke 37191 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Hmm, that's strange. @MRobi @makarai have you seen this before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobi 160 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I've got no experience installing via the plugin, have always done it manually. I would start troubleshooting by using WinSCP or similar and browse to your iocage directory. Just looking at the error it sounds like the jail was removed but the emby folder was left behind, then trying to re-install throws an error because it's trying to create a folder that already exists. Rename or delete the folder and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mapped 1 Posted October 19, 2020 Author Share Posted October 19, 2020 (edited) Yes this is also my impression. But where should this folder be? As mentioned I checked the iocage jails for something pointing to an unsuccesfully destroyed emby jail. But there are just the ones that still work. I searched with putty and winscp. Will FreeNas create something like an initial folder on the systems partition before creating and continung from in the jail itself? I don't find anything named "Emby" on the Systemdrive on wich FreeNAS is installed...? Where could this folder be that I could remove it manually? I made several tests during which I installed the emby plugin without above mentioned error several time yesterday. After figuring out everything I wanted to install the plugin and keeping it the issue occured. The name of the Emy jail was "emby_1", only the plugin name is 'emby' (as in the error message) . My assumption woud be that this is still an entry somewhere. Does anybody where this could be, an where the entry could be removed? Help is really appreciated Solved! As stated by MRobi the jail was removed but a dir named emby still reside in the root folder - and I did not recognize it although I searched for it... After deletion the plugin gets installed again, thanks! Edited October 19, 2020 by mapped 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobi 160 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 I've seen it before when a jail fails during creation it's already created the folder but doesn't complete so it doesn't show up in the jails list. Then when trying to create again it says it already exists. Plugins are essentially scripted installs in the GUI so I assumed it was something along these lines. I guess my wild guess was right! LOL Glad to hear you got it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
