OH2 on FreeNAS 11 in jail

Setup, Configuration and Use Beginners
1

Hi,

I am running OH 1.8 on FreeNAS in a jail for one year now. I works like a charm. Now I thought it is time to move on and upgrade to OH 2.1. I prepared a new jail. Setup up Openjdk.

openjdk version "1.8.0_131"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

Got my copy of OH 2.1 and started to play. I know I’ve to invest a lot of time to do a lot of housekeeping of my old configuration. I stripped down the old configs to a minimum and got to main errors at startup. On the one hand there is a non working mDNS Client and on the other hand is a non working MulticastReceiver. I think it’s something with openjdk 8 broken.

Please find below the log files…

Do you’ve got an idea how to solve this issues?

is it possible to try oracle java in freebsd?

I think so, but only as backport. I found another solution. I’ve now a Ubuntu Server as virtual machine… thanks to FreeNas 11. :wink:

hi, i would recommend to use “pure” debian in vms, because of stability and less requirements on the system. But great you got it running

this is what I tried… it seems that FreeNAS VM world is a little bit experimential. Debian crashed at the beging. Only Ubuntu works like a charm… I am happy now. Thanks.

@mburgholte Do you use any USB devices like a Z-Wave stick?
How did you pass that device to the VM in FreeNAS 11?

Hi! I’m sorry, but I don’t use any USB devices inside the VM. I use homegear on an external Raspi with SCC module.
