FreeNAS Plex plugin install failing

Server Version#:1.19.3.2852
FreeNAS: 11.3-RELEASE-p9

New install, repeated twice with same outcome. Manage Server comes up with error message: A problem has been detected with a core component of Plex Media Server.

And if you skip by it all the server settings are locked out “Server settings are unavailable.”. Unable to add to the library, etc.

Logs attached.Logs.zip (26.3 KB)

Any help appreciated.

Seems the same issue as Core Component Problems on FreeNAS jail install

I was able to use these commandline steps to create a jail and load plex. If I specify 11.3-RELEASE I get the same result, if I specify 11.2-RELEASE it seems to work as expected.

echo ‘{“pkgs”:[“plexmediaserver”,“ca_root_nss”]}’ > /tmp/pkg.json
iocage create -n “plex” -p /tmp/pkg.json -r 11.2-RELEASE ip4_addr=“vnet0|10.1.10.40/24” defaultrouter=“10.1.10.1” vnet=“on” allow_raw_sockets=“1” boot=“on”
rm /tmp/pkg.json
iocage exec plex mkdir -p /config
iocage exec plex mkdir -p /mnt/movies
iocage fstab -a plex /mnt/data/apps/plex /config nullfs rw 0 0
iocage fstab -a plex /mnt/data/Movies /mnt/movies nullfs ro 0 0
iocage exec plex chown -R plex:plex /config
iocage exec plex sysrc “plexmediaserver_enable=YES”
iocage exec plex sysrc plexmediaserver_support_path="/config"
iocage exec plex service plexmediaserver start

These are the same instructions I use, and I have it working in an 11.3 jail fine.

Edit: Also, to elaborate, this was not a jail I upgraded to 11.3. I was running PMS 1.16 and was having issues upgrading due to underlying (FreeNAS) issues, so I ended up making a brand new 11.3 jail and installing Plex 1.18.something onto it, then transferring my library files over after setting up the storage mount points exactly the same as the old jail.

Interesting, will try 11.3. The jail currently is running FreeNas 11.2-RELEASE p8 and Plex 1.18.9.2578. Maybe the issues are with FreeNAS 11.3 and Plex 1.19.
