Uncheck the “Create Directory” because this is already created and click OK. In the add storage window the “source” is the path to your existing dataset and the “destination” is the folder you created above /media/“yourfolder”
Go back to your Freenas interface and “Add a storage” to the jail corresponding to your syncthing_1. Log in to the syncthing jail as described in the guide.Ĭreate a folder under the /media for your dataset to be mapped toĬhange the permission on the folder you just created to 777. Make sure the group has read/write/execute (777) privileges. The resolution to the problem was the following:įollow the above guide, ( ) but do not change the owner of the dataset to syncthing, instead, after creating the “syncthing” user add “syncthing” user to the group which is already managing your dataset. instead of changing the “Owner” of the dataset, I made the “syncthing” user member of the group which has all the rights to the dataset.Īfter that I was still getting permission denied errors. I followed the guide precisely, but I noticed a few things. The problem is/was that I did not want to change the ownership of the existing dataset. Stay safe also and a big thank you again.Hi, I spend considerable time trying to configure an already existing dataset to be synchronized to another server. Thank you for your reply! Happy new year to you. Then my Raspberry Pi Model B can be re-used for another project! Which is great news, if it works it means I have successfully re-used what I thought would be nothing more than a a bit of landfill or an attic box filler. Your post has given me some food for thought Looking at the plugin page you have linked too, it shows me the Syncthing plugin for the 320L, which is excatly what I want, Syncthing However unless the latest firmware will support a 6TB disk then this will be a little useless as I plan to use 2圆TB disks.īut if the above is not good for what I need, I noted the Alt-F supports upto 8TB disks so this could well work! And a quick Google search turns up that Alt-F could well work with Syncthing which will provide me with what I want! However if I work fast and do this in the next 24 hours it may live to see the final day of this bizarre year that is known as 2020. Thank you for your reply! I am afriad to say maybe you are the last person to use it, mine has been 'retired' for many years, it's been sat, spun down for more than 1095 days. I have no idea if this is even possible but thought I would reach out to the community and see what other have done with what is now an ageing box which for most people have probably reached the end of life or like mine, been sat in a cupboard for years gathering dust.Īny input, help, advice, tips would be great.
Cannot install syncthing freenas software#
I assume that it runs on a version on Linux and it would be just a simple case of SSHing in and installing it, but then I don't want the NAS to be running it's software in the background, I'm more thinking of removing it altogether in favour or running a Damn Small Linux or Raspian Lite. So my idea was to install Syncthing on the DNS320. I'm no Linux expert and getting Syncthing to work on my Pi has taken longer than it should be hey, it's something I enjoy doing and why the hell not try new stuff out I like to try and repurpose old stuff, for example the Pi I am using the Legacy Model B and TBH it works pretty damn well for what I want it to. So whats all this got to the the DNS320? Well I want a nice little case for Raspberry Pi and the two HDDs I'll be using, I was thinking of ripping it apart and using the shell to house it all but the chances are this probably wouldn't go well, so this got me thinking again. I setup a test Raspberry Pi using Syncthing, an open source program that runs on the Pi and on my Phone and syncs, this can be done with as many devices as I want to install Syncthing on. I am happy with my 1815+ backup but I want another backup which got my down the Raspberry Pie root, having two sat in my draws for years doing nothing I decided to see what options I could employ with one, which gets me on to the idea. I explored numoures options, including using my currently Synology 1815+ for photo backup and Degoo, which I am currently using to 'test the waters'. I understand that the DNS320 is rather out of date, but I think it could still have a use! I have recently been on the look out for Photo Storage as I imagine you know Google are ending there unilimted storage for free. I have since sold my business and took the device with me and it's been sat in my home office for the last 3 years doing nothing. I have a 320 that I used to use for an onsite backup in my retial premises for many years, it was used for transfering the epos files everynight.
