Tutorial to install CrashPlan (updated August 2016)
Hello everyone, As I have reinstall CrashPlan on my ReadyNas today. I thought I will share with everyone my updated notes. Feel free to comment to improve this step-by-step. Maybe a clever person...
Yup, Crashplan has stopped working for me too on my RN316 ReadyNAS. I'm thinking about dumping Crashplan altogther and just use sync with Dropbox for my important files.
The RN316 is Intel-based isn't it? You shouldn't have any issues getting it working again - probably what you're running into is Java problems (if you have Java 7 still installed, it's not going to work and you'll need to update to Java 8)
I am doing a check here. Actually Crashplan is still at 4.7 from their website. However looking at the logs, I see that on the 29 Sept. Crashplan tried to update itself. Doing so he needed Java 8 (jre-linux-x64-1.8.0_72.tgz) and installed it however it fails to update because of wrong CPIO.
I did
apt-get remove busybox-cpio
apt-get install cpioNow I am looking how to trigger the update from Crashplan again...
I ended up installing 4.8. Just follow same tutorial but replacing 4.7 by 4.8 . The link is not available from Code42 website yet. 2 things:
- I noticed that changing the logs location does not work. Probably this settings is read somewhere else now.
- so far I have not been able to connect to the headless server.
Will try another day. Time to go to sleep.....bzzz
Hello,
Did anyone find a solution to move the Crashplan's log file ?
It's not possible anymore to set a new location for the service log in the "my.service.xml" file.
Cache files setup is still good...
Thanks!
