Has anyone installed tarsnap or duplicity on FreeNAS?

[jms703]

I'm looking to add some cloud backup of certain directories to Amazon S3. I was thinking of installing tarsnap or duplicity. Has anyone done this? Is it as simple as compiling and installing?

Yes, using the plugins jail in 8.2.0-BETA4 it is easy enough as long as you read freebsd docs on how to install ports

Sorry to revive a months dead question, but can anyone point me to a tutorial on installing ports in the FreeNAS jail? I'm running 8.2.0-RELEASE-p1-x64 (r11950).

Also, just heard about Amazon's new Glacier service - I'm guessing tools like Duplicity will be updated to back up to that as well.

Looks like you can use pkg_add for this task:

Code:

#inside jail
pkg_add -r duplicity
