#Crashplan unraid setup install#

On your Windows machine, go to your CrashPlan install directories' conf folder.Now we need to connect to the engine on your unRAID server to add it to your account. CrashPlan is now installed and running! Pop off a quick ps aux | grep java and make sure there's something CrashPlan-esque runningĬonfiguring the CrashPlan engine from a Windows Machine.You might notice wget popping off for Java which will be the longest part of the process In general, accept the defaults for everything else.You will have to log into the GUI and change it, save your changes, and then re-tar the CrashPlan package NOTE:The manifest directory is NOT respected after the install has completed.

I used /mnt/disk4/Private/Backups, but of course tailor to suit You *really* want this on your unRAID array Wink. Your manifest directory is where your backups will live.Enter anything for the rc scripts, we won't be using them and they'll go bye bye on your next reboot.It does this quite neatly and tucks it under /usr/local/crashplan If it asks you about Java, tell it you would like it to go fetch it and install it dedicated to CrashPlan.If all goes well you can just follow through the prompts here.

I included all the code above to the 'go' script. The first three lines are only needed at the first boot time, after that only the fourth line will be triggered. & tar -C / -zxvf /boot/packages/ssh/ & /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd start & /etc/rc.d/rc.sshd start & tar -zcvf /boot/packages/ssh/ /etc/ssh You have to launch the SSH daemon server on boot, saving the key for further boots. = with unRaid 5.04 I used the following rather than the above older packages = installpkg /boot/packages/openssl-0.9.8n-i486-1.txz Installpkg /boot/packages/openssl-0.9.8i-i486-1.tgz If your version is older than 4.5.5, put those three packages under ' /boot/packages' and add these lines into your 'go' script: If you have unRAID version 4.5.5 or above running, just put the three packages above into the 'extra' folder on the flash drive (' /boot/extra').

Windows and Linux versions of CrashPlan, found here.

cpio, SSH and OpenSSL packages for Slackware 12.X, found here, here and here.

Access to a Windows machine with CrashPlan installed (we just want the client!).

You WILL need to change it via the GUI after you have logged in, and then re-tar the package after you save the settings

The install location specified during the command line install is NOT respected.

Consider this a first pass, we can improve it with feedback and more testing when time allows.

My unRAID is quite tweaked so you might need *more* packages than I list below.

You do need a couple of packages installed on unRAID to satisfy.

This hasn't been tested thoroughly in terms of clients being happy.

Here is a very quick and rough guide to getting this going. Some instructions for installing CrashPlan with unMENU (posted March 1, 2011) can also be found in the unRAID forums.

Overall the only parts I'm looking to buy specifically for this system if possible is the RAM and PSU if possible, which for me will cost around £386 at most I'd like to go £400 for these parts.ġ) Storage (the case offers more 2.5'/3.5'/5.25' slots and the Mobo more PCI-E slots for SATA cards).ģ) Windows VM (may install a 1080ti when I upgrade my gaming desktop in the future and passthrough to VM for transcoding)Ĥ) PfSense VM (pasthrough an Intel Ethernet PCI-E card)ĪFAIK the only downside to this approach is the lack of lights out management, but this shouldn't be too big of an issue for me.
