Hello Crashplan Guru's may I ask a question and I hope you really like to help me:

How do I found the related values inside my FreeNas? I tried already a couple of times yesterday. I tried /mnt/RAID1# jls but already on that step I get permissions denied.

Code:

[root@freenas] /mnt/zpool# jls
  JID  IP Address      Hostname                      Path
    1  -              crashplan_1                  /mnt/zpool/jails_2/crashplan_1
[root@freenas] /mnt/zpool# jexec 1 /bin/tcsh

Please help a old men.

Please help a old men.

You realize if you had read the manual or even just typed "jexec" you'd know what you did wrong...

 

[Freesnofla]

I didn't get that one as I'm not sure which manual you are talking about. Why always give users the feeling they are lazy or stupid?

 

[cyberjock]

Uh.. the only manual.... the link in my signature that says "FreeNAS manual". There's only one manual I know of.

 

[Freesnofla]

Yes, but I read the manual concerning jails anyway I can't get this translated to a functional way. I have still trouble to understand what I have to rename what's mentioned under code (text).

 

[Freesnofla]

It seems to me that the setup it to evil for me, please give me your hints.

 

[Freesnofla]

Can anybody help me out I did adduser so far and I couldn't assign the /home/crashplan into that user as I created the map afterwards. How can I change the user tried edit user but without success.
Finally I found out that rmuser helped out on that one and I got the user deleted. Afterwards I created a new user that time with the /home/crashplan directory. Anyway until now I couldn't get it working.

 

[Freesnofla]

When I run jexec crashplan_1 ps axuww I get the below output

Ok so after finally realizing that I needed to update my crashplan plugin (had to delete the old one and the old jail and then install new) added back all of my storage. I now finally have crashplan running. Freesnofla I don't exactly understand what you're doing here? Your sockstat -4 shows that its up and running and listening on port 4243 as it should. Are you trying to connect to it with the port forwarding?

 

[Freesnofla]

Yes, I think that is my problem I can't reach the FreeNas for doing the relevant setup. When I go to plugins and try to start I get just a page from code42 up.

 

[Freesnofla]

1)From the terminal on Linux:

ssh user@freenas.-IP

2) login and then start CrashPlan.

/usr/local/bin/CrashPlanDesktop

I get the following message now:

Code:

$ /usr/local/bin/CrashPlanDesktop
$ /usr/pbi/crashplan-amd64/bin/CrashPlanDesktop: line 14: /var/log/crashplan/ui_output.log: Permission denied

I'm not sure if I will get it running any time.

 

[Freesnofla]

How did you guys get crashplan running on FreeNas I haven't had so far success, anybody able to help me?

 

[fracai]

I had it running natively in a jail, but it was a pain to keep running and had to be reconfigured every time the task restarted,

Now I just use the plugin and everything works just fine.

 

[Freesnofla]

How should I understand "just use the plugin", what kind of setup is that?

 

[joelmusicman]

Ok folks, finally got it working. Followed the guide on Code42 with some changes. This guide assumes basic familiarity with console commands... Steps follow:

1. Download latest version of plugin from FreeNAS GUI, enable linux_load in the tunables.
2. In root@your_crashplan_jail:

• adduser (name crashplan, pass ***, add to group 'wheel', etc.)
• edit /etc/rc.conf -> "sshd_enable="yes"
• **This is important!!** edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config -> uncomment "Allowtcpforwarding yes" (remove the # in front)

3. Stop and restart the jail using the FreeNAS GUI.
4. Edit the ui.properties file on your client using the steps from Code42 (uncomment, change to port 4200).
5. Start the SSH port forward as described on the Code42 page. Make sure to enter the JAIL IP ADDRESS. (My GUI session is on an Ubuntu client running this in a tmux window for persistence. As I have it configured right now I'll have to redo this step if I restart either machine.)
6. Restart the GUI on your client, and it should connect, and ask you to login. You'll need to mount any shares that you want backed up, etc. I chose to mount "read only" and have had no issues so far.


Notes: The Crashplan plugin appears to be single-threaded and runs mostly on the server. There is very little activity on the client, though I believe it needs to stay online for backup to work. I have a 100Mb/s connection and am pushing ~32Mb/s to the cloud using about 45% of my G3220. I think this speed is CPU limited as the service runs compression and dedup. At this rate it'll take me 12 days to upload 4.5TB of data. Not bad! :) Now I can install Crashplan on my other computers (Time Machine on my MacBook) and backup to the NAS which then gets backed up to the cloud.

 

[fracai]

The client (GUI) does not need to be running and the ssh tunnel does not need to be up for the crashplan backup to run.

 

[joelmusicman]

The client (GUI) does not need to be running and the ssh tunnel does not need to be up for the crashplan backup to run.

That's really good to hear! I'm sure it needs to be online to perform management/monitoring though. :)
