Hi,

I have run jail on FreeBSD 12.2-RELEASE-p14.

I am trying to install package ookla-speedtest-1.2.0-freebsd12-x86_64.
root@grafana:/ # pkg add "https://install.speedtest.net/app/cli/ookla-speedtest-1.2.0-freebsd12-x86_64.pkg"

/usr/share/ is read-only file system

Do you have suggestions, how to solve this issue?
 
Where's the package coming from? The issue is with the package itself. It shouldn't write anything to the base directories.

Also note that 12.2-RELEASE is EoL since March 2022 and not supported anymore.
 
On a "normal" system this wouldn't be a problem, the package would just install. Not the proper way (third party software should be installed in the /usr/local/ prefix) but it would install nonetheless. You probably created your jail with a read-only "base" jail? That causes the entire base OS filesystems to be read-only in that jail. That base jail should be read-only as it's used by other jails too.
