UrBackup clean install, cannot reach webpage/admin portal

[asw2012]

I have installed urbackup on TrueNAS 13.0-U2

I get an installation successful message, then some instructions
I then follow these instructions. But I cannot get to the admin page via IP:PORT

I even try to go to shell and start HTTP server manually:

I do see this on bottom of the TrueNAS GUI when I restart, does this have anything to do with why I can't connect to the urbackup GUI?

You need to do a manual install and an install from Source because of an issue with Cryptopp causing the segmentation fault on FreeBSD.

UrBackup - Install UrBackup server from sources

www.urbackup.org

make a jail like this : (change the name and IP to Suit)
iocage create -n urbackup ip4_addr="vnet0|10.10.0.39/24" defaultrouter="10.10.0.1" vnet="on" boot="on" -r 13.1-RELEASE -b

Then when you come to do the build do :

./configure --enable-embedded-cryptopp
make -j4
make install

Hi, thanks for the reply. I have created the jail.

(I am not too good at command line installations)
Inside the jail shell:
I've gotten as far as ./configure:

3. Run ./configure and make (as I am fuzzy on what to do with MAKE and the rest)

 

[Alecmascot]

ok.
Best to use Putty for the command line stuff.
Start from scratch:

Code:

Create the urbackup jail:
    iocage create -n urbackup ip4_addr="vnet0|10.10.0.39/24" defaultrouter="10.10.0.1" vnet="on" boot="on" -r 13.1-RELEASE -b

Go to the jail console:
    iocage console (name of jail)

Install needed packages: (respond "y" if prompted)
    pkg install -y nano curl wget

download Urbackup Source into the jail:
    wget https://hndl.urbackup.org/Server/2.5.27/urbackup-server-2.5.27.tar.gz

Extract the archive:
    tar xf urbackup-server-2.5.27.tar.gz

Navigate into the newly created folder:
    cd *.27

Then :
    ./configure --enable-embedded-cryptopp

Then :
    make -j4

Then:
    make install

To test do:
    urbackupsrv run -u root

Browse to:
    "jail IP":55414

Back in the jail stop urbackupsrv:
    ctrl-c

To make urbackup run at jail boot :
    nano /etc/rc.local

and add to the new file :

    #!/bin/sh
    /usr/local/bin/urbackupsrv run -d -g 104857600 -u root

To end and save :
    crtl-x
    y
    enter

To make it executable :
    chmod +x /etc/rc.local

"exit" to leave the jail
"iocage restart (jail name)"  to restart the jail then check you can browse to port 55414 as before

Then back to the TrueNAS gui to setup the mountpoint for the backup data (with the jail stopped) and back into Urbackup to make the settings you need.

Thanks much for the help here. I will dig into the install when I have time after work today. I'll let you know how it went, if it was successful.

 

[asw2012]

Dude. thanks much!!

This works!!
I now have a working urbackup installation on my TrueNAS Core box :)

Hi guys

So I had a similar problem as I've upgraded the jail from an older version of urbackup and I've deleted the old jail and started from scratch and did all the steps Alecmascot said.
Although the new jail seems to get stuck on downloading dataplan database and I'm getting no access on the web interface of urbackup when I'm running the test mode.

Code:

Hi, I remember waiting a good amount of time for that to update (I think 45 mins+) at the dataplan database. IIR - I waited.... then I was able to connect and check to see if the web interface worked. It was frustrating that there was no indicator or percentage to see progress...

Hi, so I left it for 2 hours like this waiting for a a response after the dataplan database, the only message I got afterwards was "Looking for old Sessions... 0 sessions" and that message was coming every 30 mins.

Hi again, I do remember that part also, and at that point I was then able to connect "test" (through the web portal... the ip address) then cntrl-c and continue on.

Hi All I too am having issues with Urbackup.
Was working great in till I reboot the server and then it stopped.
I have tried to install from scratch after upgrading to Truenas Core 13 with the issues below.
Tring to use Alecmascot setup with issues.
I too am not good with line commands

Install needed packages: (respond "y" if prompted) pkg install -y nano curl wget

Then I receive this error in Putty

Where am I going wrong

Thanks in advance

Need help please
Have spent the last couple of days trying to get urbackup to backup to a dataset folder ZFS storage /mnt/MediaVolume/urbackupV2.
Problem is it just keeps backing up in the SSDpool jail /mnt/SSDPool/iocage/jails/urbackup/root.
I just can't get my head around the Mount Points.
It used to work before the upgrade to Truenas-13 but know not so good.
After searching deleting copying for the last couple of nights this is my last resort.
I am a noob.

Thanks again

You're going to need to get your head around mount points if you want to get to the desired result.

either do it in the GUI (with the jail stopped) and add a mount point for /mnt/MediaVolume/urbackupV2 to go into /mnt/target (or whatever directory you want it to be in the jail)

or, with the jail running:
iocage exec urbackup mkdir /mnt/target
iocage fstab urbackup -a /mnt/MediaVolume/urbackupV2 /mnt/target nullfs rw 0 0

In either case, you would now be able to see (at least while the jail runs) there is a structure in /mnt/SSDPool/iocage/jails/urbackup/root/mnt/target which matches to the contents of /mnt/MediaVolume/urbackupV2

That's all a mount point does... makes specified host storage visible to a jail at the "mount point".

Hi sretalla
I have given the above a go but unfortunately i still get this error on the urbackup status page

Can access /
Can access /mnt
Cannot access /mnt/MediaVolume. No such file or directory (code: 2)
Cannot access /mnt/MediaVolume/urbackupV2. No such file or directory (code: 2)

As for this line

/mnt/SSDPool/iocage/jails/urbackup/root/mnt/urbackupV2 and also tried /mnt/SSDPool/iocage/jails/urbackup/root/mnt/urbackup_V2

Permission for the dataset are 777
What the hell am i missing

Can you share the output from iocage fstab urbackup -l
