Freenas 9.2 Jails error: epoll: Function not implemented

[champ]

Hi guys,

I was trying to get bitcoind running in a jails. Unfortunatly it always gives an error that he epoll function is not implented. I tried it in an ubuntu jails and in a debian jail... Both stop with the epoll error. In debian I compiled it from source and ran it, but this damn error always occurs. Here is how it looks:
# bitcoind -daemon # Bitcoin server starting ************************ EXCEPTION: N5boost16exception_detail10clone_implINS0_19error_info_injectorINS_6s ystem12system_errorEEEEE epoll: Function not implemented bitcoin in AppInit()

Is there anything I can do about it? I am pretty new to linux and all this. Oh yeah would be sweet if you could add bitcoin as a plugin I would love o develop a web gui for it, so I can make my transaction on freenas via a webinterface. How cool would that be ?!^^

Have you tried installing net-p2p/bitcoin-daemon in a plugins jail?

Have you tried installing net-p2p/bitcoin-daemon in a plugins jail?

Ehh what, no? How do I do that?

 

[dlavigne]

This is described in the Installing non-PBI Software chapter of the Guide. Be sure to download the version of the Guide that matches your FreeNAS version. It's a good idea to first skim through the Plugins and Jails chapters first to get a good overview of the capabilities, what software is available as PBIs, and how to install software that isn't available as a PBI.

Linux jail support is experimental at best and most software that you can install in Linux is already ported to FreeBSD and trivial to install into a non-Linux jail. Plugin Jails give the most flexibility on how to get software into a jail.

I used this guide to install bitcoin and used the apt-get command to get the ressources I need to compile bitcoin, now I am screwed when trying to install the dependencies with apt-get... as mentioned before, I am no linux crack (yet!).

Well, this isn't linux.

And let me say you're probably going to be disappointed with your machine's performance with bitcoin mining. CPU mining is literally pointless as a single graphics card is like 10-100x+ faster from what I've read. Big picture, you're likely to seriously hurt your servers performance for the random "win-the-lottery" or "get-struck-by-lightning" chance that you actually succeed. This just isn't something I recommend at all.

 

[champ]

nono, this is absolutly not about mining!! I just don't want to have the whole blockchain, which is about 20??!gb big on my normal machine! I just want to have bitcoin running on my NAS!

 

[cyberjock]

Oh. Ok. My misunderstanding.

 

[champ]

Ah I found the port you were talking about:
http://www.freshports.org/search.ph...leted&start=1&casesensitivity=caseinsensitive
I will try to install it in the plugin jail and report later if it worked! Thanks so much!

 

[champ]

Okay, status update: It is still not working, I tried to do the insatllation from:
http://www.freshports.org/net-p2p/bitcoin/
I typed in:
pkg_add -r bitcoin
Okay something was going on ....
cd /usr/ports/net-p2p/bitcoin/ && make install clean
didn't work, because the dir didn't exist...
Then I went to /usr/src and saw the bitcoin-0.8.6-linux.tar.gz
I extracted the whole thing and did the make INSTALL, which also worked fine(I guess)...
I then tried to run bitcoind, put it seems to be not installed...
Then I ran bitcoin-qt, which says that it can not connect to x server.
I guess bitcoin is installed but because of the missing gui it can not start...
I also have this bitcoind and bitcoin-qt files in /usr/bitcoin-0.8.6-linux/bin/32/ and /usr/bitcoin-0.8.6-linux/bin/64/
unfortunatly I have no clue if this is the bitcoin executable but I would guess so... and I also don't know how to execute them :( any help?
ah yeah when I try to add the package as decribed here http://www.freshports.org/net-p2p/bitcoin-daemon/ it says that the file can not be fetched, I guess it doesn't exist :(

 

[champ]

Well stroke my bone! "pkg install bitcoin-daemon" Solved it, case closed, I'm an idiot! ^^ I think there was an error in my brain.exe!

 

[Yatti420]

Let us know if you are successful in storing the blockchain on the NAS..

 

[champ]

It works perfectly, I added storage to /root/.bitcoin/ and it saves the blockchain there! After you created the bitcoin config you can start bitcoind with "bitcoind -daemon" and then get infos via "bitcoind getinfo"! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

 

[Yatti420]

Maybe post a link for setting up the client with a blockchain thats not local.. Or a howto for bitcoin / client setup etc..

What do you mean with not local? Do you mean that the blockchain is on a remote server, because thats not what I am doing. I only added a ZFS dataset to the directory in the jails where bitcoin saves the blockchain. If there are requests I can post a little tutorial on how to do it step by step from creating the jail to getting the bitcoind running with the storage outside of the jail

 

[Yatti420]

You are going to have your bitcoin clients connect and use the blockchain located (and kept up to date) on the NAS?

 

[champ]

ehhh yeah?! Anything wrong with it? I mean that was my intention to keep the 15gb or so blockchain on my NAS. I also thougt of creating a nice GUI to access via a webinterface.

 

[Yatti420]

This should be easily doable.. Without even needing a web interface.. I'm not sure what you want the setup to look like.. If you have a fast / safe dedicated NAS I would store the blockchain there.. Point my wired wallets to it.. Saves the need from having a blockchain on a local client..

 

[champ]

yeah true, well I am happy the bitcoind runs in a jail for now, so great! maybe I will create a nice web interface so I can do my transaction from my local network via a web interface if I have time for that. But for now I am satisfied to have bitcoind running on my NAS. Also nice would be to make the webinterface accessable via the net. I also put my owncloud in the tornetwork( I know it is kind of slow ) and can access it now from everywhere, which is great. Maybe I will do the same with my bitcoin GUI(which I maybe will create) ^^
