wget https://internal.resilio.com/support/freenas/install_v3.sh
chmod +x ./install_v3.sh
./install_v3.sh -s resilio-connect-mc-address-or-ip:8444 [-p <zfspoolname>]

 

1X.X-RELEASE was not found!

TrueNAS release 12.2-RELEASE is the default in the above script. If script exits with errors like "1X.X-RELEASE was not found!" please run the following commands:
iocage list - it will show the list of available releases. If the list is empty run
iocage fetch
and select one of the proposed releases.
Then edit the script, find the line starting with FREEBSD_VERSION= and replace 12.2-RELEASE with the release that is already installed or was fetched.

It will take a while to download the necessary dependencies and install the Resilio Connect Agent. If the process is successful, the Agent will start and connect to the configured Management Console. You will need to approve the Agent on the MC

Congratulation! Jail is set up and running and you are ready to add mapped folders into the Resilio Job.

3) The Resilio Connect Agent can be started and stopped by starting/stopping the jail.

Agent keeps its settings, database and log files in /var/rslagent/ directory inside the jail. Path to the jail itself may be different.
