ugh so I upgraded the NAS4Free embedded to 9.2.0.1 - Shigawire (revision 925) so I could install the new php virtual box and now i cant get the brig to install


when I install from the advanced commands page or ssh I get the same error

Attempting to create a new destination directory.....

Unpacking the tarball...
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.5.7

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /bin/sh on line 90
You use fresh version


I am also having a hard time deleting the old directory for the old jail installs.

[mrjrussell]

Should I install TheBrig and then install virtuabox inside a jail or would that have performance issues?

[alexey123]

I dont know about performance Virtualbox inside jail, you'll be the first to check
I know , that for compille minidlna with jail (64 bit) , I need ~6 hours, but if I compile x86 under Virtual box I need more than 28 hours.

I was thinking about a Mini itx e350 and put the computer next to my TV on a shelf.
I am using a SGI rackable Arima nm46x dual opteron 2400 (4x cores) 16 gigs ram. I am using the kernel performance setting to dialed down the performance settings so I can run her quiet on a set of PWM fans. I was also considering mounting the computer in a home made wooden box so it would look like a piece of av equipment.
I did the complete serviio install with ffmpeg in a jail in about 2-3 hours when I had the performance set to max.

So, installer fetch tarball, extracted it and stopped?

You connect over ssh or use webinterface for command?

[westoztux]

Thanks alexy
yes the install just hung at the last line of the output i posted . i connected via ssh to my server which is running 9.2.0.1

I checked for enough free space and it was ok , after reading your reply I think it was a problem with permissions. I rebooted the server and retried again but same result using an admin user , I then logged in with root user and the script worked immediatley . I should have tried this but overlooked it not relizing the admin in the wheel group did not have enough rights.
Thanks Alexy for your help here to find my mistake.

[mrjrussell]

I saw a linux option is there info on how to make this work?

[alexey123]

TheBrig work with new 9.3.0.2.1176 as is..

You can upgrade binaries over freebsd update procedure




OLD 9.2 binaries also work with 9.3 kernel


We begin work on new release for give more option, such VNET, jail multi IP and so.. Just wait...
VNET

I try to install The Brig on 9.3.0.2 - Nayla (revision 1176), bare metal test hardware

There is certificate error

This is FreeBSD 9.3 and higher bug.
Before install anything from github execute

Code: Select all

setenv SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER

Then install ca_root_nss on any jail, grab sertificate to main server and use ssl without crutch

UPD - problem solved rev 1182 https://sourceforge.net/p/nas4free/code/1182/

[MikeMac]

Code: Select all

setenv SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER

Thank you, works. With 1182 will be better

We begin work on new release for give more option, such VNET, jail multi IP and so.. Just wait...
VNET

Hey Alexey,

I was just wondering if there is anyway to manually configure the VNET settings for an active jail at this time? I'm having a comms issue between a DLNA client and server and I believe its a multicast issue, specifically to do with the server receiving multicast messages. I was hoping to run a test with VNET enabled but I can't seem to be able to get it working. The settings don't have to be persistent for the moment. I also running the latest versions of Nas4Free and TheBrig. I would appreciate any advice you could give.

Thanks!

[alexey123]

Hi Iolar.
Thebrig not allow use VNET now , but we work on new version, which will know vnet, multi-ip , multi -if, ip4/ip6, mount zfs datasets, mount nullfs inside jail, more flexible jail commands.
All scripts for vnet, zfs are include into thebrig.

New version not ready for regular users today, sorry, just wait.

Screenshots from new Thebrig - all it work.
First page

General

Network with vnet:


Not work - updates freebsd-update and port update ( work but not stable, not work update itself ) and Thebrig need be compatible with 1 and 2 version - now it not compatible .

[Iolar]

Hi,

That's excellent, the screenshots look promising. I'm more than happy to wait. Thank you for your continued development of TheBrig. I just hope the VNET capabilities sort out the issue I'm experiencing

[spoocky68]

Hi, I have an issue when I try to execute a jail.

I access NAS4FREE thru ssh, and in a console, I type that command: jexec 1 csh, 1 it's the number of the jail. But this message appears "jexec: jail_attach(1): Invalid argument"

What am I doing wrong?

Edit:

To kill my self. I gave IP with 192.168.x.x/32 format, and my network its x.x.x.x/24 !!!!! Change that and all goes fine!

Sorry!

[lindsay]

Thanks alexey123

Code: Select all

setenv SSL_NO_VERIFY_PEER

Now the brig finally works for me looking forward to the new version though

[Loka_muc]

Hi all,

sorry iam a realy Linux nub and not that familiar with all that stuff, even i am very familiar and expirienced with Windowsbased systems. I have done all and all worked until i rebooted.

Now my "Extension" Tab in the WebGUI is missing and I am failing to get it back. I have read that, due to the fact, that i have an Embedded USB system, this extension was not made persistent right? on the filesystem all files seems to be there, but I am failing to to the little trick of "reinitialise" the stuf, that it apears automatically after I reboot my NAS

Please anyone can give me a helping hand, where and what to do, edit whatever to solve my issue?

[raulfg3]

False, "Extension" Tab is persistent on full & Embeded install, perhaps you have a liveCD or LiveUSB install (you boot from a liveCd or LiveUSB image) in this case is normal that "Extension" Tab dissapear (is a live OS)

[korl]

Ok I have read evrything so far and can't seem to find an answer. Everything Seemed to install fine for TheBrig. I got to next step to Query Tarballs and I get this:

Code: Select all

Warning: stream_select(): No stream arrays were passed in /usr/local/www/ext/thebrig/extensions_thebrig_tarballs.php on line 121

Pressed button again and same error. It displays this message approx 10times then return to WebGUI with this error:

Code: Select all

The following input errors were detected:
There seems to be a networking issue. I can't reach ftp.freebsd.org. Please check DNS and other networking settings. If networking is working, then ensure the ftp binary is present.
Alternatively, try it again to see if there was some transient network problem.

Also TheBrig Log shows below:

[2015/01/18 19:32:58]: TheBrig error!: ftp: Reading from network: Bad file descriptor
[2015/01/18 19:32:58]: TheBrig error!: ftp: Writing `-': Bad file descriptor

Any Ideas?

[dreamcat4]

Ping FTP.FreeBSD.Org from console gives:(I am on a Satellite connection)

Code: Select all

PING ftp.geo.freebsd.org (96.47.72.72): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 96.47.72.72: icmp_seq=0 ttl=52 time=726.687 ms

Your ping round trip time is over 10x greater than mine. Although 350ms doesn't sound half so bad going each way. It being over a satellite.

PING ftp.geo.freebsd.org (213.138.116.78): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 213.138.116.78: icmp_seq=0 ttl=53 time=66.341 ms

Perhaps the error is related to some kind of a networking issue due to your satellite connection. On FreeBSD, FTP defaults to passive mode and will give up if there is an error. It may be that passive mode FTP won't work on your link. There are simple ways to check and verify if that is true or not. But opening up the ftp.freebsd.org url in a regular FTP Client (in PASSIVE mode, of course), and then seeing if you can download any files manually or not.

You see, PASSIVE uses UDP protocol. Which may mean individual packets get marked as lost if they take too long a time to reach their destination. Or in some circumstances, UDP packets may end up being dropped entirely. If something like that is your issue, you may want to try to set / hack in somewhere (probably inside the Brig script itself) the following environment variable:

export FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=NO

That will force the freebsd `fetch` command to use FTP active mode instead of the default passive mode. OR you can replace in the brig script all of the URLs like "ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/..." --> "http://ftp.freebsd.org/...". That would download the freebsd archives over HTTP protocol instead (which is also a good choice being TCP also). So either of those approaches are recommended for you over the default FTP passive mode.

Already fixed such issues for someone else in my Finch tool. Sorry i can't help with 'theBrig'.

These were the Finch fixes:

700MS times round trip from the research I did seems normal. Thanks I will look into it.

[korl]

Changing read Timeout in File "extensions_thebrig_tarballs.php" from 10 to 100 worked(Line 79)

[korl]

One more question. I can ping the jail's IP, I can ping my router from inside the jail but the jail itself does not seem to want to connect to the internet. Tried reading as much as I can on the subject(s) here and elsewhere and cannot seem to find an answer on why I can't access internet. Can anyone help?

[pdcjlw1]

I am having trouble getting the script to complete. I see all of the text I am supposed to see, but it just hangs there. Never completes. If I look for the jail in the webpage I do not see it. Why won't the script complete?
