Settings Not Saved

[Scott]

Hey Guys,

I installed Duplicati on my FreeNAS system. I then launched it by going to http://192.168.42.209:8200. I was asked for a passowrd and the default password “duplicati” worked. Once logged in I change some settings, including my password. The settings changed BUT…

After I re-start the Jail (or re-start the whole NAS) the settings are re-set to default. This includes the password, which is changed back to the default password of “duplicati”.

How can I make my settings save?

I notice there is something in the post install notes which says:
“To change settings until the UI is fixed use the command line. Example: iocage get -P port PLUGIN
Configurable settings are port and webpass.”

However I can’t really figure out what this means, and was hoping someone is able to help me?

This behavior is due to the design of the FreeNAS Duplicati module, not Duplicati itself. I’m not sure why it was designed this way.

A few options (like port number and password) must be set using FreeNAS iocage commands. Here’s a post that shows how to do it:

Ok, I figured it out with the help of reading the notes! [Capture] I don’t know what they mean by “…until the UI is fixed…” In any case you use iocage commands to set the password in a persistent way. Don’t use the web UI in Duplicati to set the password, it won’t stick between plugin restarts: [Capture2] By the way, I am seeing that Jails on FreeNAS (and BSD I presume) are extremely similar to Docker containers. They are way more than just the chroot jails I was thinking…
