What parent directory do you wish to install CrashPlan into? Press enter to continue with installation. The only question I need to answer is the location for incoming backups (received from other computers) since I mounted that device at /mnt/inbound, the rest can be left at their defaults: Welcome to the Code42 CrashPlan installer. # For CrashPlan Pro, we also need these packages:Īpt-get install libxss1 libnss3-dev libasound2 -y # While we're here, remove mlocate, because if we have a lot of files it really sucks up resources On your container, bring the system up to date, install the GTK2 prerequisite, then install CrashPlan using the link you grabbed: apt-get update Go to the CrashPlan website and grab the latest download link for the Linux version. You could also SSH into Proxmox, run pct enter YOUR-VM-ID-HERE to get a shell into the container, then run service restart ssh to kick it back into life for you. I found I had to restart the container once before it would let me connect using SSH. Start up your container, SSH into it using the container’s IP and the root account, and verify that your mount points attached successfully (any typos will result in the mounts going missing). # Now my two mount points for Crashplan's backup archives and # adoption of the old CrashPlan backup archive: # it used to be was when I was using FreeNAS for easy # I chose this mount point to be in the same location as # on Proxmox, and mount it to /mnt/data inside the I add a series of mount points to the bottom of the file: # Take the ZFS dataset mounted at /primary-data/data Instead we’ll SSH into Proxmox and edit “/etc/pve/lxc/nf” using nano or vim. We can’t use the “Add mount point” button on the “Resources” page in the GUI to attach datasets, since it doesn’t let us create bind mounts to allow CrashPlan to access existing ZFS datasets. I’ll also attach a dataset to store incoming backups from other computers/VMs on my network. I’ll have CrashPlan back up the contents of two of my ZFS datasets into a “CrashPlan backup” dataset on a different volume. On the “options” page, I turned on “start at boot” so CrashPlan will start with Proxmox. if your dataset is called “primary-data/lxc” then it must be mounted at “/primary-data/lxc” on Proxmox (not /mnt/primary-data/lxc as I had it set originally). Note: If you’re using a ZFS dataset for the container’s root drive, the dataset must be mounted on Proxmox in the “standard” location (the root directory /).

I’ll access the CrashPlan interface from my MacBook by using X11 forwarding, so that I don’t need to do any of the “.ui_info” updating nonsense that the FreeNAS plugin required. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how I installed CrashPlan into an Ubuntu 16.04 container on one of my ZFS volumes, and added bind mounts to allow CrashPlan to access my files for backup. Having a real Linux kernel available for the LVM container system to use means there’s no kernel incompatibility to worry about. On top of this, CrashPlan doesn’t actually support FreeBSD, and instead relies on the Linux emulation that the FreeNAS jail system provides, which puts the plugin at risk of being broken by CrashPlan relying on unsupported Linux kernel features.īy contrast, Proxmox provides the perfect environment for CrashPlan. However, keeping this plugin running was a chore, with forced automatic CrashPlan updates frequently breaking it and requiring manual intervention to fix, and headless operation requiring an unsupported, tedious procedure to achieve, with lots of opportunities for getting it wrong. On FreeNAS, there was a built-in plugin for CrashPlan support, which I was using to back up the files that FreeNAS was serving from ZFS over the network. I’m migrating from FreeNAS to Proxmox 4.3.
