[HOWTO] Install amule into a 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:

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

or use new Jail Web interface TheBrig: viewtopic.php?f=79&t=3894

from shell check your jail number:

Welcome to NAS4Free!
rnas:~# jls
   JID  IP Address      Hostname                      Path
     1  192.168.1.201   serviio                       /jail/serviio
     2  192.168.1.202   kissdx                        /jail/kissdx
     3  192.168.1.203   minidlna                      /jail/minidlna
     4  192.168.1.205   amule                         /jail/amule
rnas:~#

Once you know number, log into your jail:

Code: Select all

rnas:~# jexec 4 csh
root@amule:/ #

First you need to create home folder for amule:

Code: Select all

cd /
mkdir home
mkdir /home/aMule
mkdir /home/aMule/.aMule

now 2 options to install:
1= using packages:

Code: Select all

setenv PACKAGESITE ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-current/

Change amd64 by i386 if you have a x32 version of Nas4Free

now you can install:

Code: Select all

 pkg_add -r amule

" or

Code: Select all

pkg_add -r ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9-current/net-p2p/amule-2.3.1_4.tbz

if fails

done, go to step 3 configure

2 = Using Ports

Code: Select all

portsnap fetch
portsnap extract

Code: Select all

cd /usr/ports/net-p2p/amule

Code: Select all

make install clean

Once again, this takes a while and I accepted the default build options.


3 = config amule

you need to link amuled

Code: Select all

ln /usr/local/etc/rc.d/amuled /etc/rc.d/amuled

edit /etc/rc.conf or use this trick: echo amuled_enable="YES" >> /etc/rc.conf

Code: Select all

 ee /etc/rc.conf

add

Code: Select all

amuled_enable="YES"

now add user aMule to previously created home

Code: Select all

pw groupadd aMule
pw useradd aMule -g aMule -s /bin/sh -c "aMule Daemon" -d /home/aMule
chown -R aMule:wheel /home/aMule

now is time to create amule.conf, to do it, start onetime amule:

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/amuled onestart

now you need to generate a password for amule Remember to replace "password" with your password:

Code: Select all

 echo -n password | md5

eg:

Code: Select all

root@amule:/home/aMule/.aMule #  echo -n password | md5
5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

Copy and paste result to use in amule.conf


edit amule.conf

Code: Select all

ee /home/aMule/.aMule/amule.conf

add

Code: Select all

AcceptExternalConnections=1
ECPassword=5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99
[WebServer]
Enabled=1
Password=5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99

PD: this is my amule.conf to compare whit you remember that password can be other:

amule.zip

now you can test that amule start:

Code: Select all

/etc/rc.d/amuled start

(fast|force|one|quiet](start|stop|restart|rcvar)

if all goes well you can see if do a ps ax:

Code: Select all

root@amule:/home # ps ax
  PID TT  STAT    TIME COMMAND
 4228 ??  IsJ  0:00.02 /usr/sbin/syslogd -s
 4282 ??  SsJ  0:00.16 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail)
 4285 ??  IsJ  0:00.00 sendmail: Queue runner@00:30:00 for /var/spool/clientmqueue (sendmail)
 4289 ??  IsJ  0:00.03 /usr/sbin/cron -s
 4399  0  SJ   0:00.04 csh
15226  0  SJ   0:00.04 amuled
15233  0  SJ   0:00.03 amuleweb --amule-config-file=/home/aMule/.aMule/amule.conf
15288  0  R+J  0:00.00 ps ax
root@amule:/home #

now you can test using your Browser http://jailIP:4711

eg:

Amule web.jpg

if all goes well you can continue to install amulegui

[raulfg3]

Howto connect to amule daemon from your PC

Basically you need to download amule from sourceforge and use amuleGUI to conect to remote jail:

a connect windows appear and you need to put the IP of the jail and password id you create one and edit amule.conf acording.

Amule connect.jpg

Once done you need to configure to your needs, there are a lot of usefull guides on google about best way to configure emule.

http://web.archive.org/web/201006261104 ... e_Controls

PD Trick: use fstab.amule to configure mounts that you want to share in read only mode, and a Download folder for share in SMB 8 i use the same that use for Transsmision donwloads.

so my fstab.amule is like this:

Code: Select all

/mnt/NAS-A/Video /jail/amule/mnt/Video nullfs ro 0 0
/mnt/NAS-A/Descargas /jail/amule/mnt/Descargas nullfs rw 0 0

and configure /mnt/Descargas in aMule config like folders to copy finished donwloads.

[raulfg3]

Now How to add amuled.log to Nas4Free log:

You can add amuled.log to Nas4Free logs, I do the work using notes from: http://masterut.blogspot.com.es/2011/12 ... -dlna.html

First you need to edit file /usr/local/www/diag_log.inc use Advanced|File Editor to locate and load , so is ready to edit.

locate fuppes lines:

Code: Select all

$fuppes_logfile = rc_getenv_ex("fuppes_logfile", "{$g['varlog_path']}/fuppes.log");

copy & paste & edit fuppes to minidlna like this:

Code: Select all

$fuppes_logfile = rc_getenv_ex("fuppes_logfile", "{$g['varlog_path']}/fuppes.log");
$amuled_logfile = rc_getenv_ex("amuled_logfile", "{$g['varlog_path']}/amuled.log");

Find next fuppes section:

Code: Select all

array(
		"visible" => TRUE,
		"desc" => gettext("fuppes"),
		"logfile" => $fuppes_logfile,
		"filename" => "fuppes.log",
		"type" => "plain",
		"pattern" => "/^(.*)$/",
		"columns" => array(
			array("title" => gettext("Event"), "class" => "listlr", "param" => "", "pmid" => 1)
		)),

Do the same , copy & paste and edit copy to sustitute fuppes by minidlna

Code: Select all

array(
		"visible" => TRUE,
		"desc" => gettext("DLNA"),
		"logfile" => $fuppes_logfile,
		"filename" => "fuppes.log",
		"type" => "plain",
		"pattern" => "/^(.*)$/",
		"columns" => array(
			array("title" => gettext("Event"), "class" => "listlr", "param" => "", "pmid" => 1)
		)),
array(
		"visible" => TRUE,
		"desc" => gettext("amule"),
		"logfile" => $amuled_logfile,
		"filename" => "amuled.log",
		"type" => "plain",
		"pattern" => "/^(.*)$/",
		"columns" => array(
			array("title" => gettext("Event"), "class" => "listlr", "param" => "", "pmid" => 1)
		)),

in system | Advanced | rc.conf add a new variable named amuled_log and use as value path to your jail log

amuled.log_2.jpg

save and test, go to Diagnostics|Log and select the new amuled log.

if you do all well this are the result:

amule_log.jpg

Hi,
i'm sorry but when I reach the aMule's installation point i found these problems:
if I follow first option I have this output:

If I follow the second option I have this output

Code: Select all

nas4free: ~ # portsnap fetch

What I have to do?

Try using

Code: Select all

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-current/Latest/

for the variable PACKAGESITE.
I had a quick look to the FTP site and seems that amule.tbz is available into "Latest" subfolder. This is valid if you use Nas4Free 32bit version, otherwise replace "i386" with "amd64" in the above variable.
Give it a try and don't forget to post your results!

Hi, I am following your howto, and I find a problem make install the ample.

I downloaded portsnap (fetch and extract) over a jail full, made with TheBrig.
I make /home/amule/.amule dir, and when I do make install clean (step 3), before a long time, the compiling fails and said

What do I make bad? Can I solve it?

In fact, before 2 weeks changing my Ubuntu Server to Nas4Free, i'm thinking return to Ubuntu....

Please Help me!

In fact, before 2 weeks changing my Ubuntu Server to Nas4Free, i'm thinking return to Ubuntu....

If you are more confortable with Linux, perhaps , you must try OMV: http://blog.openmediavault.org/

PD: related to your problem : are you tryied nº 1 install ? <- you do not need to compile anything.

Check your jail devfs in /dev
If you have checked devfs checkbox in webgui, try stop jail uncheck it and start. Go to devfs - you must see only

Code: Select all

 # ls /dev
crypto	null	pts	stderr	stdout	zero
fd	ptmx	random	stdin	urandom	zfs

Then try install port

[spoocky68]

Thanks for your answers.

raulfg3, really i like a lot nas4free running, except install another things (bind, mldonkey, ...) Really NAS is not for this, but.... sky is the limit!

Perhaps try OMV. I read a lot of good things about it.

alexey123, after install and reinstall, I'm going to restart again: delete my jails, and create new ones. But... why JID is >1 if I have only one Jail?

Try and comment!

[spoocky68]

raulfg3, I try nº 1 install and i received the same error than leo1986pc

[spoocky68]

Hi again. . I tried nº 1 install, and all goes fine, until....

When I am configured (step 3) the amule, the follow message appears:

"root@amule:/home # /etc/rc.d/amuled onestart
/etc/rc.d/amuled: WARNING: /home/aMule/.aMule/amule.conf is not readable.
root@amule:/home # "

Can it be a permissions problem?

[spoocky68]

Hi, I create a amule.conf with ee, and fine.

Start daemon, but when I type $> ps ax the system give me this answer:

Really, I don't know what can I do....

[raulfg3]

please post how you have configured your jail in thebrig ( a screen capture)

Can it be a permissions problem?

Hi
In all cases - for use jail properly please add jail user from group wheel
From main server type command:

Code: Select all

jexec <jail_id> adduser

Begin dialog, make answers - name, fullname, group as wheel, password. All rest answers - just <Enter>, use default.
Not close account.
Then connect as user

Code: Select all

jexec <jail_id> login

NOTE: if you want simple call jail by name just define it into Options.
http://s017.radikal.ru/i425/1501/2f/fa5adf91855d.png


Yon can call after restart jail as

Code: Select all

jexec amule login

For system work ( edit system files ) -- type su
END NOTE
In this case - all permissions will OK

For your case with aMule - connect as user and just check config file. You must check - if a conig present and who is owner

Code: Select all

su
ls -lo  /home/aMule/.aMule/amule.conf

[spoocky68]

Thanks alexey, but finally I install mldonkey instead, and all goes fine! I can try to run anule but it cannot be possible...

[titi_Nas4free]

Hi,

Thank you for the how to. Better use the pkg install instead of the port way. The port way install takes so long.

In case using the port way, don't forget to clean it with portmaster at end : follow instructions at chapter 4.5.4. Ports and Disk Space of this page https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/ports-using.html (thanks to IRC channel)
Don't forget to install Portmaster & portupgrade before :

Code: Select all

pkg install portmaster

I had to add those actions so I can connect to servers (that is what Serverlist=1 in the conf file is awaiting for) :

Change "Scoresystem=1" to "Scoresystem=0" in the conf file.

Create addresses.dat :

Code: Select all

vi /home/<username>/.aMule/addresses.dat

hit "i" and paste the following line :

Code: Select all

http://www.gruk.org/server.met.gz

hit esc, save file and quit vi :wq

and remove defaul server list :

Code: Select all

rm /home/<username>/.aMule/server.met

Those information were found at http://www.octetmalin.net/linux/tutorie ... s-serveurs

[raulfg3]

thanks.

You can add http://www.gruk.org/server.met.gz from amule webGUI, no need to manually edit by hand.
