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:

[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…
