Installing on TrueNAS

Make sure the following prerequisites are met:

• You have access to the TrueNAS system.

• Your TrueNAS system meets system requirements for installing NAKIVO Backup & Replication.

• The iocage jail/container manager is installed on your TrueNAS system. Refer to the iocage README page for a description.

• A storage pool is created on your TrueNAS system. Make sure the pool has enough storage for all NAKIVO Backup & Replication functionality. Refer to TrueNAS User Guide for more details on creating storage pools.

  • To create local Repository on TrueNAS local storage outside the jail, make sure you use the following mount points:

    Source: /mnt/share/

    Destination: /mnt/test/iocage/jails/nbr/root/usr/repo

  Notes

  • The repo is an empty folder created by the user.

  • The path for adding a repository on NAKIVO Backup & Replication is /usr/repo.

• Make sure to check limitations for TrueNAS here.

Follow the steps below to install NAKIVO Backup & Replication on a TrueNAS system:

1. Log in to the TrueNAS system via SSH.

2. Go to the tmp folder:  cd /tmp

3. Download the necessary json file:

   • for the full NAKIVO Backup & Replication installation on a TrueNAS v13:
     wget https://github.com/NAKIVO/iocage-plugin-nbr/raw/master/nbr.json

   • for the NAKIVO Backup & Replication Transporter installation on a TrueNAS v13:
     wget https://github.com/NAKIVO/iocage-plugin-nbr-transporter/raw/master/nbr-transporter.json

     Notes
     If a utility for downloading files like wget or curl is missing on your TrueNAS system, you can first download the necessary file to your local machine and then upload it to TrueNAS with a third-party tool like WinSCP or FileZilla.

      

4. Install NAKIVO Backup & Replication with the iocage jail/container manager:

   Note

   Make sure that the jail IP address is not the IP address of your TrueNAS system.

   • For the full NAKIVO Backup & Replication installation on a TrueNAS:
     iocage fetch -P nbr.json vnet="off" ip4="inherit" ip4_addr="em0|x.x.x.x/24"

   • For the NAKIVO Backup & Replication Transporter installation on a TrueNAS:
     iocage fetch -P nbr-transporter.json vnet="off" ip4="inherit" ip4_addr="em0|x.x.x.x/24"

     Note

     Run the following command to select the desired release if it was not found:

     iocage fetch --server ftp-archive.freebsd.org --root-dir /pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/amd64/
