what is leafp2p?
what is leafp2p running on my system? I understand its somehow related to readynas remote or readynas replicate, neither of which I will ever use. Is leafp2p used for anything else? It ends up cre...
I can report that his problem has been solved in 6.5.0 RC3, leafp2p should not be left running anymore unless Netgear cloud services are being used. That is my experience with RC3 so far.
leafp2p is the VPN technology that powers Ready Remote, Replicate, and ReadyCloud.
It is not running on my RN102, but it is running on my RN202 - not sure why. Both are running 6.5.0 Beta 2, and both have all cloud services turned off.
If you don't use any of the cloud services you could try doing e.g.
# systemctl stop leafp2p
# systemctl disable leafp2p
So that would include ReadyCloud, ReadynasRemote, ReadynasReplicate? Anything else that requires this service running?
I am thinking about messing around with ReadyCloud at some point, but I'm not sure I really need it. I'm assumign that if I decide I want to use those again I would just do the following to renable it again later:
systemctl enable leafp2p systemctl start leafp2p
Yes? where does the actual .service file for leafp2p get stashed?
Yes.
/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/leafp2p.service is a symlink back to the service file. When you enable it you will see the location of the service file.
Where /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/leafp2p.service does not exist the service won't be automatically started on boot.
The disable/enable commands are for whether to start the service on boot
The stop/start commands are to take actions on the service now, to stop/start it right now.hmm, interesting. I did not disable leafp2p yet or so anything related to it. I can see with ps that its running. However, there is no symlink to it under /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants. The service file does exist under /lib/systemd/system/, which I have been learning is where those others under multi-user.target.wants are usually sym linked to. I don't know anything about the target.wants thing, what it does or how it works, but as of now, I haven't actually disabled it and its running, but its not sym linked there either.
going to attempt to disable and stop it now. I'll worry about this later if ever need to do cloud stuff
