New Plugins for FreeNAS 9 (November 2016) - Nextcloud / Madsonic / Resilio / NZBHydra

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

I released a few new plugins for FreeNAS 9. They are available from the official FreeNAS repo.

Nextcloud - A fork of ownCloud
- This plugin uses MySQL for its database. This should have better performance at the expense of using more memory than the ownCloud plugin because of the change from SQLite.
- I have not extensively tested this so if you hit any issue please share them here.

Madsonic - Fork of Subsonic

Resilio - The new name/brand for BitTorrent Sync

NZBHydra - A meta search for NZB indexers and the "spiritual successor" to NZBmegasearcH

Reading the news about ownCloud over the last few months it looks like Nextcloud is taking over the reign. When I have time I will check it out.

Thank you for the plugin! :D

I Host many nextcloud instances - its definately the Future.

Is there a straightforward way to update Madsonic to a current or beta release? The one we're using *may* have some playback issues that are supposed to be fixed.

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

I believe you can replace the files in /usr/pbi/madsonic-amd64/share/madsonic/

I'll update the madsonic plugin when it has another release deemed stable, but not to a release they call beta.

Has anyone installed Resilio plugin on their system ? I have installed it on my FreeNAS, but for some reason it does not see the "source" dataset, only the destination. Any thoughts ?

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

can you verify the files and their permission levels in the resilio jail
ls -l /path/to/files

ls -l /path/to/files

I have create a btsync user and group with UID 817. Both of them have permissions to the source data set

where is the dataset mounted in the jail? You don't show any files owned by the btsync/resilio user

Good Work!

I was also working on getting Madsonic into an official plugin.
But I only got as fars as to run it in it's own jail.
Do you have the code shared somewhere? I have mine here.

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

plugin code is here

I'm new to FreeNAS, but have installed the Nextcloud plugin successfully. All works, but it looks like the OpenSSL libs used are a bit dated. Again, I'm new, so this may be due to package management in FreeBSD or some technical reason that I am unaware of, but if possible, it would be nice to have the package support more than TLS 1.0 out of the box.

If anyone has a link to instructions that may already do this for Owncloud or another plugin, then I would be grateful (nothing that I see that directly addresses updating a plugin as opposed to a manually configured jail).

That said, if I find a way to update OpenSSL and compile Apache against it successfully while not breaking the plugin, I'll come back and add my findings!

 

[Joshua Parker Ruehlig]

it would be very difficult to change plugin dependencies, much more than doing a manual install.

I cover the reason for outdated dependencies here.

That article helps and provides the context that I was missing. Thanks for sharing.

I take it so far you have not had success?

Given the older dependencies is it a bad idea to open this plugin up to the web? I intended to harden with https and use a lets encrypt cert..

it would be safer to do a manual install to get up to date dependencies.

but it still is difficult to exploit old SSL. for most exploits, the hacker would need to also get a man-in-the-middle situation. but, this plugin also has old php, which probably has more easy to exploit issues.

Thanks Joshua,

I decided to set up a openvpn jail instead for such. Let me also just say, long time lurker and have read many of your posts and watched the odd youtube video of yours to learn about freenas before finally building my machine last month. It is a pleasure to have received first hand advice!

I've been happily running NextCloud plugin except today I was greeted with a notification about an update. The manual update instructions: https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/10/admin_manual/maintenance/manual_upgrade.html

don't seem to work with this plugin version as I had to manually find the php executable somewhere inside the /usr/pbi/nextcloud... then it told it it couldn't find the occ executable, etc.

Is there a reliable update how-to for this plugin?

I think you may need to look at the nextcloud forums and follow the upgrade instructions there

 

[ovizii]

The link I referred to IS the official upgrade how-to except thigns are a bit different inside a plugin apparently, hence I have asked here, where the plugin originated and not in the NextCloud forums where they know nothing about freeNAS plugins
