[HOWTO] Install mldonkey on Nas4Free jail

[raulfg3]

This install is recomended for all N4F install , embeded or full, and install into a jail is the default /prefered method of installing packages in nas4Free to avoid problems.

this work is based in this post:

Thaks to Tamgram for his work.

to start, create a new jail called donkey by following the jail guide: http://wiki.nas4free.org/doku.php?id=do ... owto:jails

from shell check your jail number:

Code: Select all

rnas:/jail# jls
   JID  IP Address      Hostname                      Path
     1  192.168.1.201   serviio                       /jail/serviio
     2  192.168.1.202   kissdx                        /jail/kissdx
     4  192.168.1.203   minidlna                      /jail/minidlna
     5  192.168.1.204   donkey                        /jail/donkey

once you know number, log into your jail:

Code: Select all

    rnas:~# jexec 5 csh
    root@donkey:/ #

Once inside the jail grab a portage tree.

Code: Select all

portsnap fetch
portsnap extract

If you use thebrig, you must start from here ( previosly you need to configure your jai, to use /install ports) download/file.php?id=1814


now is time to install mldonkey:

Code: Select all

cd /usr/ports/net-p2p/mldonkey

Code: Select all

make WITHOUT_GUI=yes WITHOUT_X11="YES" WITHOUT_TK="YES" install clean

after compiling time ( ask yes if promt).

Code: Select all

rehash

Now that MLDonkey is installed let's activate it at boot time:

Code: Select all

echo 'mlnet_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'mlnet_user="p2p"' >> /etc/rc.conf
echo 'mlnet_logfile="/var/log/mldonkey"' >> /etc/rc.conf
touch /var/log/mldonkey

Notice the mlnet_user option, for added security we'll create a p2p user:

Code: Select all

pw user add p2p
mkdir /home
mkdir /home/p2p
chown p2p:p2p /home/p2p
chown p2p:p2p /var/log/mldonkey

Restart the system for the changes to apply.

Code: Select all

rnas:/jail# jls
   JID  IP Address      Hostname                      Path
     1  192.168.1.201   serviio                       /jail/serviio
     2  192.168.1.202   kissdx                        /jail/kissdx
     4  192.168.1.203   minidlna                      /jail/minidlna
     5  192.168.1.204   donkey                        /jail/donkey
rnas:/jail# /etc/rc.d/jail restart donkey
Stopping jails: donkey.
Configuring jails:.
Starting jails: donkey.
rnas:/jail#

check that mldonkey is running:

Code: Select all

root@donkey:/home # /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mlnet status
mlnet is running as pid 53667.
root@donkey:/home #

goto /home/p2p/.mldonkey

Code: Select all

cd /home/p2p/.mldonkey

stopt mlnet:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mlnet stop

edit downloads.ini

Code: Select all

ee downloads.ini

Code: Select all

 allowed_ips = [
  "127.0.0.1";"192.168.1.0/24"]

start mlnet:

Code: Select all

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mlnet start

I recomend to use sancho as GUI for ml donkey: http://sancho.awardspace.com/

or http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/Sancho


you need to configure to conect to jail IP port 4001:

Host setup manager.jpg

now you can use sancho:

prueba de sancho.jpg

But better if configure ports on your router:

open ports for mldonkey.jpg

Please read doc about how to configure sancho for better knoledge / use of mldonkey:

First off.... thank you so much for this guide! It worked a treat.

I am having one issue though.... my DirectConnect downloads are crawling over my LAN!

My setup:
DC++ Server is installed on "WindowsPC"
DC++ Client installed on "WindowsPC"
DC++ Client on "WindowsPC" is running in Active mode
MLDonkey running in a jail on my NAS4Free box
Gbit network
SMB transfers ~100MB/s

When using my "WindowsPC" DC++ client to download files from my MLDonkey DC client, i get a maximum of 15KB/s, i get a max of 50KB/s doing the reverse.

I have no idea where to start my troubleshooting. Do you have any suggestions?

[...alex]

ok, so i found the default speed limit setting (why would they put this in!!!?!?!?) in downloads.ini and set them all to unlimited. I am still only able to get a max download speed of 10MB/s on a Gbit network though

Any ideas?

Hi. I follow all your steps to install mldonkey in a jail.

I made a thin jail, using TheBrig. Start it thru ssh , and then portsnap fetch. After, portsnap extract, and in a moment the follow message appears and the extract abort:

/usr/ports/devel/p5-Log-Report-Optional/
files/293a4c9707197d1a5e41de9bc9fabfc033f6f2138cc268fb350120eea5b296c0.gz not found -- snapshot corrupt.

I deleted the jail twice, and restart, but always the same error. Can you help me?

Thanxs

[raulfg3]

you do not need porsnap inside thebrig jail, use button on thebrig webGUI to install ports.

see this image that is in the Thebrig forum: download/file.php?id=1814


PD: thebrig forum is: viewtopic.php?f=79&t=3894

Hi, every one, again.

Recently i've got to reinstall the Mldonkey because my old NAS broken and, I've not got a jail backup.

Now, when I try to install all again, I've got a new problem follow your instructions.

I've got TheBrig installed (alcatraz over Nas4free 10.1.0.2 prescience) before a lot of problems to run jails.

When finally the jails is run, and I try to install MLdonkey follow your instructions, the problems starts:

1. If I configure Central-ports tab on TheBrig Webgui, and fetch+update, if I come in /usr directory by shell, ports directory doesn't appears in that way.

2. If I try "portsnap fetch" command over shell, it appears the following message: "Looking up portsnap.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found. Fetching public key from portsnap.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up"

What can I do? Where can I fetch portsnap from? Is there another way to install Mldonkey?

Thanks a lot! And Excuse moi for be so nerd!

[raulfg3]

try: pkg install mldonkey

HI everyone.

I follow your instructions, and finally I can fetch portsnap (a conflict between ips cause problem ), and I can start to make mldonkey installation.

After a few minutes, a fatal error appears. When compiler said "Staging for dialog4ports-0.1.5.2, Generating temporary packing list", a long list like this, appears: 'Make [8]:"/dev/null" line 1: Unknown directive' and so to ... line 475:... Then a message "make [8] stopped in /var/ports/usr/ports/ports-mgmt/dialog4ports/work/dialog4ports-0.1.5 Error Code 1."

And others similar messages.

After that a new problem appears with ocaml-lablgl-1.05, saying, after a lot o error code 1 in ocaml-lablgl subdirectories, to finally said, 'make: stopped in /usr/ports/net-p2p/mldonkey Error Code 1 '

What do I do wrong? Is a portsnap fail? How I can execute pkg install mldonkey (the link you told me, doesn't drive to a download page)

Help me! You are my only hope! (Sorry spoiler!)

[raulfg3]

How I can execute pkg install mldonkey (the link you told me, doesn't drive to a download page)

Help me! You are my only hope! (Sorry spoiler!)

pkg is a new replacement command for pkg_add, the link is a web page with instructions of how install mldonkey using pkg command.

You only need to log inside the mldonkey jail and write the command in the same way that others command like top, or ifconfig.

PD: remember to log inside the jail prior to execute the command toinstall mldonkey inside the jail, because if you execute on normal shell (outside the jail), you install mldonkey on the base system and must work if is a full install, but is lose if is a embeded install ( on embeded install OS run from RAMDIsk so changes are lose on reboot).

PD: if pkg do not work inside the jail, is because your BSD inside the jail is not 10.x version. in this case you need to write in shell:

pkg_add -R mldonkey that is the command used in 9.x version of BSD to add precompiled packages

[spoocky68]

Hi, again!. Following your instructions, finally I get to install mldonkey on jail. But when I tried to access to gut (telnet or webgui) my connection is rejected (ips_allowed issue)

The problem is that when I try stop the mlnet service to modify download.ini to include other IPs to operate with it, this message appears:

Running under /root/.mldonkey

And mlnet service doesn't stop, and cannot modify download.ini

Can you help me, again? I don't understand so much that problem.

I think that I follow all instructions: install pkg, create user p2p, modify rc.conf thru echo command, start the service....

But really, I don't know if the system really works. I'm thinking to delete the jail, and restart... but I'm afraid that problems return to start.

[raulfg3]

first google a bit how to start / stop a service in BSD 10: https://www.google.es/search?site=&sour ... ice+BSD+10&


eg: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?que ... ice+BSD+10 or service mldonkey stop or service mlnet stop depending.

then stop mldonkey and edit downloads.ini to allow your Ip.

now, restart service and check that is running (status).

once is running you can install sancho on your windows client to acces it remotely.
