Server Installation on FreeDSB

Hi, my goal is to install urbackup server on jail on TrueNAS core.
Is the FreeDSB port still disabled, bcs through this installation web UI works but database is not created, also it didint ask me for login and password.
And when im trying to install from source i have errors from c++ compiler.
I’m trying to mount later both the urbackup-database nad urbackup backup files, images.

Thanks for all replies.

Some time ago i wrote instructions on how to install urbackup from source, in a jail in truenas core with full ZFS support. It worked great.

Those instructions are found at How to install Urbackup in a jail with ZFS (Instructions)

Now, I’m not a developer nor do i work in IT for a living. So, please, read those instructions carefully and make sure you understand them before proceeding.

I am the same boat and I have given up trying to compile v2.5.34. The instructions linked above are outdated and do not work anymore. The source simply will not compile anymore with the –enable-embedded-zstd switch. This is necessary on FreeBSD because the system does not provide a suitable library and it cannot be installed either. Since I am slowly planning to move from TrueNAS Core to Scale, I will move urbackup to a Debian VM.

I just noticed that the freebsd port for urbackup was updated to its latest version (2.5.34)

check https://www.freshports.org/archivers/urbackup-server/. If that is the case, then installing urbackup in a jail of truenas core becomes trivial.

As for migrating to scale and install urbackup in a VM, try the Docker image instead. It may be easier to maintain and should use less resources.
