FreeNAS 11 introduces a new way to manage jails, iocage. As FreeNAS transitions there is a gap for users that leveraged precreated plugins in previous versions of FreeNAS. This guide will help you create a jail in, assign users, permissions and installing Deluge the BitTorrent client in an iocage managed jail.

1. SSH into FreeNAS as root
2. Creating the iocage jail
   iocage create -n "deluge" -r 11.1-RELEASE ip4_addr="vnet0|192.168.0.5/24" vnet="on" allow_raw_sockets="1" defaultrouter="192.168.0.1" boot="on" host_hostname="deluge"
3. Console into the iocage jail
   iocage console deluge
4. Add the following to /etc/rc.conf
   # Enable SSHD
sshd_enable="YES"
# Enable Deluge
deluged_enable="YES"
deluge_web_enable="YES"
5. Install sudo bash and deluge packages
   pkg install sudo bash deluge
