New plugin available: Crashplan

[Jens]

ok will try now.
is there a way in without needing to ssh forward, just connection crashplan to jail ip?

Not yet. We could maybe set it to listen on 0.0.0.0 but then anyone could connect to it.

 

[Jens]

that could be great, where do i need to change to make that happen. my freenas is behind a router/firewall.

 

[Jens]

all the info is at http://doc.freenas.org/index.php/Adding_Jails

When I try to login with the CrashPlanClient it freezes at "please wait" and a console message "Oct 20 16:17:52 freenas kernel: linux: pid 10756 (java): syscall inotify_init not implemented" appears...
any ideas why the client wont load the interface ? it does login into crashplan btw, which i can see when checking my account.

 

[securerandom]

Here's what I'm doing. Exactly.

Hopefully once I get this working we can turn this into a usable how-to guide for others.

 

[ndboost]

followed everyones steps here, it crashplan desktop whines about not finding the remote engine... also ssh tunnel is showing the connections refused for some reason.

rc.conf has sshd_enable=yes already, and i created a crashplan user with alt group of wheel.. i can ssh into the jail from my macbook fine.

The tunnel connects fine, yet for some reason the jail is denying ssh tunnel requests..

Ive also modified sshd_config with "AllowTcpForwarding Yes" and tried restarting sshd service

 

[zottelbeyer]

So is there anyone other than William who has this working ? I would really like this to work for me and others too...

 

[cyberjock]

I don't have an account or I'd try it. I can't afford to be buying accounts for stuff like Crashplan and I'm pretty sure they won't just give me an account with some really small amount of storage just to experiment with in a VM for helping out others in the forum. :(

 

[zottelbeyer]

I don't have an account or I'd try it.

There is a 2 week trial which includes all features of the pro version. you could just sign up for that :)

Crashplan is free for all use except cloud-syncing. You can use the client on multiple computers and back up between them for free. Hence my interest in getting it running on FreeNAS (although I did buy the 10 user license deal a few months ago for my whole family).

I am also struggling to get this working. Same problems as others hav estated but I can't ssh into my jail. I've tried going into it with jexec and then running passwd. I just get a permission died after 3 attempts. Probably hav esomething else wrong =/

edit Nevermind, I can adduser just fine. No problem SSHing but perhaps some forwarding problems (although seems to ssh in just fine with all the arguments). This is the error I get:

Code:

channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused

over and over until Crashplan says it can't connect. Periodically it throws in a

Code:

channel 3: open failed: administratively prohibited: open failed

I've added tcp forwarding and restarted the service.

edit There are the errors I get now, following Mike's steps too.

Code:

debug1: Connection to port 4200 forwarding to 127.0.0.1 port 4243 requested.
debug2: fd 6 setting TCP_NODELAY
debug2: fd 6 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug1: channel 2: new [direct-tcpip]
channel 2: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused
debug2: channel 2: zombie
debug2: channel 2: garbage collecting
debug1: channel 2: free: direct-tcpip: listening port 4200 for 127.0.0.1 port 4243, connect from 127.0.0.1 port 46090, nchannels 3

It cycles through a bunch of ports before failing.

Tried using the root account from the jail?

 

[Klox]

I updated /etc/ssh/sshd_config to allow for root ssh on the jail. Still came up with the same set of connection refused messages =/

 

[Jaknell1011]

I get to the point that I enter the command:

"ssh -L 4200:127.0.0.1:4243 crashplan@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -N -v -v"

I am not sure where to go from here. When I type in this command, the last thing I get on the screen is:

"debug1: Entering interactive session."

Can someone please point me in the right direction on what to do next? Do i need to install the desktop client on a windows machine in order to go on? Any help would be greatly appreciated!


EDIT** Basically I am at step 7 from this page, and not sure how to go about doing this.

Klox,

I was having the same problems you are having, but just recently fixed it. Check out my thread for my final few solutions.

I'm still stuck. Can't connect to my Crashplan plugin. I'm using this command to do the port forward from my windows box, not sure if this is right or not, can anyone verify?

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=4200 listenaddress=127.0.0.1 connectport=4243 connectaddress=%PLUGIN_IP%

 

[Jens]

I am also stuck at connecting client. if i dmesg i get a "(java): syscall inotify_init not implemented" in the log.
do i need to recompile the Kernel?

I might have missed this earlier, but how are you connecting ssh to the jail?

Not sure about the windows command but unless you have an ssh connection to tunnel through I don't think it will work. If I missed something and you are connecting through ssh and just want to verify if the problem is with the netsh command or with the jail you could try connecting through Putty. I have a linux VM running Crash Plan (until I get the plugin working properly) and I always connected through SSH in Putty with the SSH tunneling setup, and then the Crash Plan client could connect.

Right now my issue seems to be that Crash Plan isn't listening, not sure where I missed a step.

I finally got the crashplan UI to connect to the crashplan jail, however when I try to login on the UI, I get:

"! Unable to connect, check your network"

Does anyone have any idea on what I need to do, a search reveals nothing so far. I'm thinking it has something to do with my freenas box (or perhaps the jail) accessing the internet. I can "ping google.com" and do a "whois google.com" from a ssh session to both the jail and the freenas itself. Any ideas?

**Update** I tried the telnet tests from crashplan from the page here:
http://support.code42.com/CrashPlan...ng_A_Telnet_Test_to_Verify_Network_Connection

These tests worked both in the freenas itself and the jail. This also worked from the PC using the crashplan UI.

 

[sirkkalap]

I followed the nice instructions desimone had posted to gist. I noticed that the plugin was updated to 3.5.3_1 and it was now FreeBSD. I forked the instructions and rewrote them to match the new versions: https://github.com/sirkkalap/freenas-crashplan-howto

However, I recently noticed Crashplan is rolling out 3.6.3 version. I wonder who could I contact to be able to help with releasing updated plugin with the new version of Crashplan?

PM or email me, please: sirpete@iki.fi

 

[Thorsten]

Does anyone have the plugin working on 9.3?
Is there still develpment on this plugin?
(Or a way to support the people who are working on it)

I would really like to backup my FreeNAS to Crashplan. It was actually one of the reasons why I chose FreeNAS ...
