Instructions to setup Muximum in a jail?

[Rudi Pittman]

[All comparisons against HTPC_Manager plugin]

Muximux [ https://github.com/mescon/Muximux ]appears to support more apps and has a more unified look. I'd like to give it a try but all my muddling around has not gotten it running. I'd be willing to run the preconfigured docker image if someone can point to a walkthrough of how to add a docker image to Freenas 11 (I just upgraded).

Thanks for your time.

Running a docker image is not easy.

Create Linux vm, then install docker and lastly download the docker image you want.

What is Muximum? "more apps" than what? "more unified look" than what?

Should have been "Muximux" and will be updated shortly. In comparison to "HTPC_Manager" which after my upgrade from 9.10 to 11 no longer shows up in the list of installed plugins so if I'm going to HAVE to recreate it now is the time to also evaluate alternatives.

Looks like all it needs is a webserver with PHP installed in a jail to get it running. Should be simple enough.

Yes it does look simple enough and I have nginx running with php in an existing jail for several other applications including an aria2c webgui however when I clone the Muximux repo into the web browser directory and attempt to access http://myserverip/Muximux all I get is:

An error occurred.
Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable.
Please try again later.

If you are the system administrator of this resource then you should check the error log for details.

Faithfully yours, nginx.

...so what did the error log say?

I don't have any idea why some of the lines are looking for /Muximum instead of /Muximux but I setup a symbolic link on the off chance it would help. The only thing I did was a git clone into /usr/local/www/nginx which created the "Muximux" subdir then tried to access it. There is an index.php inside that directory.

I deleted the dirs and did a fresh clone..tried again.

Code:

Only thing I can figure is the php might not be correct for this application.

The latest log entry you posted is from more than six months ago. What do the current logs say?

Your right and of course I didn't even pay attention since I did a cat and went to the end of the file but those are the last entries in /var/log/nginx-errors.log. I'm not sure why. The date is correct in the jail.

Looks like your document root is set incorrectly, it's saying it's not found. Check your nginx config and make sure the root directory in your config matches your actual directory.

 

[danb35]

it's saying it's not found

It was saying Not Found in December. Who knows what it's doing now?

 

[Rudi Pittman]

Well any suggestion on how to get nginx to generate a log file? Cause it hasn't touched the existing ones since December as you mentioned:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 334433 Dec 24 2016 nginx-access.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 100919 Dec 24 2016 nginx-error.log


@Jailer

The entry looks correct to me in nginx.conf:

location / {
root /usr/local/www/nginx;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
}

 

[Jailer]

There is something different before that and nginx is looking in /usr/local/www/nginx/Muximum/ according to your log file.
Edit: You should move that up to right below your server name line so it looks there first.

Do you currently have logging enabled in your http block?

Code:

error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log warn;

It was saying Not Found in December. Who knows what it's doing now?

True but it still points to a misconfigured nginx config file.

 

[Rudi Pittman]

I managed to get the error log going again. I have no recollection of every stopping it but the error_log wasn't even looking in the right place. Latest entry tells my my fastcgi installation isn't working.

2017/07/05 16:46:04 [error] 53053#102164: *1 kevent() reported that connect() failed (61: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 192.168.3.3, server: localhost, request: "GET /Muximux/ HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "192.168.3.105"


Ok...got PHP-FPM straightened out....ran it again and now it just says "No Input File Specified" with the error log showing:

2017/07/05 16:53:34 [error] 53053#102164: *3 FastCGI sent in stderr: "Unable to open primary script: /scripts/Muximux/index.php (No such file or directory)" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.3.3, server: localhost, request: "GET /Muximux/index.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://127.0.0.1:9000", host: "192.168.3.105"

I'm still running down the /scripts reference. Ok...I've made edits to the nginx.conf but apparently I'm missing something..not sure what the path should be since it seems to indicate root is /usr/local/www/nginx and it's looking for /Muximux/index.php which does exist but it says it doesn't.

location ~ \.php$ {
root /usr/local/www/nginx;
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi_params;
}

So, rather than bookmarking CP/SAB/Sonarr/Headphones/whatever, you install a web server, install PHP, and use this web app? I guess it looks prettier, but...

 

[Jailer]

One interface to rule them all......

 

[danb35]

Better keep an eye out for a couple of hobbits...

 

[Rudi Pittman]

I would think freenas users would understand unification.

This is what I use now for about 20 different applications (some as simple as my router's interface, another nas, remote potato on my htpc etc)

http://htpc.io/

Easier for me to have one ip to go to and then access from there. Ive given up on muximux until I can setup a new jail with fresh copy of nginx and php. The current server is working fine for the other apps I have running with it.

I don't see how this "unifies" anything, or indeed how it's anything more than a glorified bookmarks page. But maybe I'm missing something.
