poudriere (host usage/dataset-error)

[raffle4]

Cumbersome learning week. Started using gimp. Installed nvidia-gpus and tried to set up audio, not streamlined, yet kind of working. And finally port management. Happy Monday. Could someone spare me some headache by explaining what I did wrong the first time trying to use poudriere?

(I guess it's wrong usage of "host", but guessing was the only way for me. There was also an unanticipated dataset error. The handbook hinted zfs wasnt strictly necessary but it rings right to use it.)

Version should not include the patch version, so it's 15.0-RELEASE, not 15.0-RELEASE-p5. It will always install the latest patch version.

Instant success. I would not have been able to lookup or guess that. Turned out the command was for creating a jail- not like what I imagined as a stage for installing the specific port. Linux-widevine-cdm was then swiftly built from /usr/ports without the use of a jail. The package was later found not even needed.
