Has anyone tried to install JungleDisk Server Edition on a ReadyNAS? There have been a lot of requests both here and on the JungleDisk Forums for an add on, but nothing forthcoming. That would certainly be more convenient, but in the interim, it seems like JD Server for Linux should be able to be installed on a ReadyNAS for cloud based backup.
First, sign up for a server account at JungleDisk.com to be able to download their software that is needed to use the functionality. It is $5/mo currently, plus storage fees amazon charges. This tutorial is written for those of you who are not familiar with *nix systems, like me.
1. If you haven’t already, you must enable SSH root access on your ReadyNAS, see the netgear site if you aren’t sure how to do so. 2. Use Putty or your ssh client, and connect to the readynas 3. Username is root and password is the same as your readynas admin password 4. Downlaod package by typing: wget https://downloads.jungledisk.com/jungledisk/junglediskserver-316-0.i386.deb --no-check-certificate 5. Install the package by typing: sudo dpkg –i junglediskserver-316-0.i386.deb 6. Create the license file using VI editor (google VI editor if you are not a nix guru) by typing vi /etc/jungledisk/junglediskserver-license.xml
The editor will appear next, past the following text (replacing the xxx with your actual license key)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <configuration> <LicenseConfig> <licenseKey>XXXXXXXXXXXXX</licenseKey> <proxyServer> <enabled>0</enabled> <proxyServer></proxyServer> <userName></userName> <password></password> </proxyServer> </LicenseConfig> </configuration> 7. Next, press ESC to get back to command mode, type “:wq” and press enter, the file should now be saved and you will be at the root prompt. 8. Now let’s start the service by typing: /etc/init.d/junglediskserver start 9. Next download the JungleDisk client portion of the software, and you should be good to go from there… Hope this helps
Great post, been waiting for something like this for over a year. Unfortunately I have deployed mostly the Readynas NV+ using SPARC. Anybody have any word that it will be compatible.
Does this solution work pretty well? I've been using Jungledisk for quite a while, very happy with it, but now I need a NAS and while the ReadyNAS looks good on a number of issues, I don't want to be locked into ReadyNAS Vault, which is quite expensive compared to JungleDisk and other providers.
If this jungledisk server edition works fine, I'm good with that. I'm presuming this is a config file drive deamon that runs on linux and the ReadyNAS, no gui. Right?
Thanks for sharing this tip. I signed up for jungledisk server edition, downloaded the latest debian pkg, installed it with SSH, configured the key in the noted XML file, restarted the daemon, and it just worked. I really didn't have to do any fiddling. I will probably package this up in addon format eventually only so that I can start or stop the daemon from frontview, but all other configuration is through their GUI client, so once its installed you really don't need to use SSH. Its works fine(Ultra2+ here), including encryption.
One suggestion though, junglediskserver does a lot of caching, which can take up considerable space. By default it does the caching under /var/cache/jungledisk. You can configure the location of this through their client app. I created /c/var/cache/jungledisk and configured their app to use that instead.
I'm following the instructions in this post but I am having a problem at the dpkg -i part. Here is what I did:
root@ReadyNAS:~# sudo dpkg -i junglediskdesktop_316-0_i386.deb dpkg: error processing junglediskdesktop_316-0_i386.deb (--install): package architecture (i386) does not match system (armel)
Not sure what this means and what (if anything) I can do to work around this.
