nas4free full to complete FreeBSD?

Post by MikeMac »

I'd like to install nas4free as full, and then add components of complete FreeBSD
Any hints, recomendations?
Other option, may be even better - is it possible to install nas4free on top of FreeBSD, alike as napp-it could be installed on top of Solaris?

pkg_add -r subversion works, but svn does not work due to absence libmagic.so.4 (and, I am afraid, other components)

I am nix noob of course, but had susessfully compiled nas4free from scratch - my be I could add someting during such build?

Thank you in advance, Mike

better is to instal TheBring and use jails for your needs.

viewtopic.php?f=79&t=3894

Jails uses a complete tarball of BSD , so you have all commands that you may need and are isolated from N4F install.
12.1.0.4 - Ingva (revision 7743) on SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F 8GB of ECC RAM, 11x3TB disk in 1 vdev = Vpool = 32TB Raw size , so 29TB usable size (I Have other NAS as Backup)

Thank you

1) Jails are good option, I had tried one and installed minidlna, etc. But not everyting could be installed inside jail. My example is fusefs_wdfs for WebDAV mounting.

2) If one uses full install on HDD there is no advantages over complete freebsd system. Why not upgrade?

And I do not ask to change it, just ask make hint, how to do it :)

You can do this, but why? One of the reasons everything was stripped out of FreeBSD was to make it clean... Another was to reduce the attack vectors. (Remember that it started life as a firewall) But, because of the way it is built, if you have the full version installed, you can add whatever tools you need directly, or you can add them all via a jail, and not increase your attack vector.

How did it not work? Could you not build it from ports?

fsbruva> How did it not work?

Create jail with TheBrig
jls to see jail # say, 2
jexec 2 $SHELL
pkg_add -r fusefs-wdfs
(lot of messages)
echo 'fusefs_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/fusefs start

Starting fusefs.
kldload: can't load /usr/local/modules/fuse.ko: Operation not permitted

I suppose, this is due to I try to do it in jail. If I do the same on nas4free full install - it works

PS Thank you for amazing work with TheBrig

If you need any kernel module for your jail, load it over loader.conf. <= modulename_load=YES. Jail can use it. See my article about debian under jail.
