This is a simple script to automate the installation of MovieNight in a FreeNAS jail. It will create a jail, download and install GO from Golang and download compile and install the latest version of MovieNight from MovieNight.
This script has been built under FreeNAS 11.3 U4.1 with FreeBSD 11.3-Release-P11. It should work for FreeNAS 11.3, and it should also work with TrueNAS CORE 12.0. Feel free to report any bad operation or purpose any improvement.
Since the COVID-19 has locked down everyone at home, we couldn't go to movie theater together. MovieNight is an solution to overcome that. Quoting the MovieNight developer: "This is a single-instance streaming server with chat. [...] platform for watching movies with a group of people online." If you wonder how to use after installation, have an look into the MovieNight manual MovieNight.
MovieNight don't need to access any data outside of the jail. At this point, since MN
need an GO runtime, the runtime will be stored into the jail.
This script isn't fully working at this time.
At the end of the deployment you'll HAVE TO connect to the Jail and customise the MovieNight settings.json file the restart the Jail.
Download the repository to a convenient directory on your FreeNAS system by changing to that directory and running git clone https://github.com/zorglube/freenas-iocage-movienight. Then change into the new freenas-iocage-movienight directory and create a file called mn-config with your favorite text editor. In its minimal form, it would look like this:
JAIL_IP="10.1.1.3"
DEFAULT_GW_IP="10.1.1.1"
GO_DL_VERSION="go1.15.linux-amd64.tar.gz"
TARGET="FreeBSD"
ARCH="amd64"
MN_REPO="https://github.com/zorchenhimer/MovieNight.git"
You'll find the value to set GO_VERSION from the download section of GO Lang
Many of the options are self-explanatory, and all should be adjusted to suit your needs, but only a few are mandatory. The mandatory options are:
JAIL_IP: is the IP address for your jail. You can optionally add the netmask in CIDR notation (e.g., 192.168.1.199/24). If not specified, the netmask defaults to 24 bits. Values of less than 8 bits or more than 30 bits are invalid.DEFAULT_GW_IP: is the address for your default gatewayGO_DL_VERSION: The version of GO SDK you want to download.TARGET: one value fromandroid darwin dragonfly freebsd linux nacl netbsd openbsd plan9 solaris windows.ARCH: one value from386 amd64 amd64p32 arm arm64 ppc64 ppc64le mips mipsle mips64 mips64le mips64p32 mips64p32leppc s390 s390x sparc sparc64.MN_REPO:https://github.com/zorchenhimer/MovieNight.gitorhttps://github.com/zorglube/MovieNight.git
In addition, there are some other options which have sensible defaults, but can be adjusted if needed. These are:
JAIL_NAME: The name of the jail, defaults tomovienightINTERFACE: The network interface to use for the jail. Defaults tovnet0.VNET: Whether to use the iocage virtual network stack. Defaults toon.UID: User that make run MN into the jail, default ismovienight.GID: Group that make run MN into the jail, default ismovienight.UID_GID_ID: USer ID and Group ID, default is850.
Once you've downloaded the script and prepared the configuration file, run this script (./movienight-jail.sh). The script will run for several minutes. When it finishes, your jail will be created and movienight will be installed.
To test your installation, enter your Movie Night jail IP address and port 8089 e.g. 10.1.1.3:8089 in a browser. If the installation was successful, you should see a Movie
Night home page.
If you want to use some run arguments at the Movie Night start, have a look here MovieNight_Configuration
to choose your option, then edit the service startup file /usr/local/etc/rc.d/movienight
customize the line command_args=""
