February 1, 201115 yr Hello All, This is my first attempt at a plugin and thought I would share it with everyone. I'm not sure how to go about installing it completely maybe one of the experts can assist? Anyways this plugin was created to manage CrashPlan. It tells you if CrashPlan is running and gives you a button to stop it if it is. If CrashPlan is stopped it will allow you to start crashplan. Shows the Link to the CrashPlan Plugin: Shows that CrashPlan is started: Shows that CrashPlan is stopped: Here is a link to the files: http://blwebdesign.com/demo/crashplan_images/crashplan_plugin.tar Please let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.
February 2, 201115 yr Author I have added a little more detail to the plugin to show some of the configuration parameters. New Config Area: Also I have added a new option to Backup Crashplan but I haven't gotten it to work just yet.
February 2, 201115 yr I love this idea. Any possibility of allowing it to notify you of an update to the GUI, possibly even going so far as to auto-tar the updated files so they persist on reboot? The ultimate would be if someone could figure out a way to tap into the Java GUI and get it running in an applet window or something within unRAID.
February 2, 201115 yr Author I'm not that good with PHP but I will see what I can do to alert the user that an update is available. Although I believe CrashPlan automatically updates to the newest version available automatically. I agree it would be great if someone could figure out how to run a java applet inside the browser to manage crashplan.
February 2, 201115 yr I'm not that good with PHP but I will see what I can do to alert the user that an update is available. Although I believe CrashPlan automatically updates to the newest version available automatically. Crashplan does update automatically, but it doesn't re-tar the files for reinstall on reboot, which is an unRAID specific requirement (unless you have everything on a cache drive). What I mean is some kind of version check to verify the current running version matches what is in the installation directory. That would notify the user that they need to intervene and re-tar the installation directory, or even better, it could automatically perform that task when it detects the update.
February 2, 201115 yr I was planning to explore this once 5.0 is out of beta and the hooks are more in place. It is nice to see someone taking the initiative!!
February 2, 201115 yr Author I was planning to explore this once 5.0 is out of beta and the hooks are more in place. It is nice to see someone taking the initiative!! Prostuff I'm glad I'm able to help the community but I'm not a avid programmer. Any help you or anyone can offer would be appreciated. Newest version of the plugin: http://blwebdesign.com/demo/crashplan_images/crashplan_plugin.zip
February 2, 201115 yr Author *** Update: The Backup procedure has been fixed and is now working correctly. *** Special thanks to Joe L. for his hard work on unMenu where I got a lost of the commands to make this plugin work.
May 31, 201115 yr Whats the best way to install this? You have a package we can just install from our go scripts?
May 31, 201115 yr Whats the best way to install this? You have a package we can just install from our go scripts? There are instructions in the unRAID Wiki on installing this. There is no easy way to make a package to install crashplan as it asks for input from the command line. Once it is installed there are things that can be done so that it can be installed with all the settings from the previous install.
May 31, 201115 yr Ha. Sorry I wasnt clear Pro. I have crashplan installed. I meant the plugin. Other plugins i have installed are as packages and i just install in the go script. This is a bunch of files which appear i guess to go in the webGui folder? Just wasnt sure how to put them there from my mac.
August 4, 201114 yr Author Ha. Sorry I wasnt clear Pro. I have crashplan installed. I meant the plugin. Other plugins i have installed are as packages and i just install in the go script. This is a bunch of files which appear i guess to go in the webGui folder? Just wasnt sure how to put them there from my mac. DHY8386: the attached zip file above is the correct set of files, however I'm not sure how to make a installpkg to make installation easier.
August 4, 201114 yr Author I have successfully made this into an install package. and also added some new features!!!! Recent Changes: Fixed the Backup script (now works) Added Links to view Crashplan Logs Logs open up in Lightboxes (must have SimpleFeatures installed for this to work) Do the following to install on your server after telnet into box. cd /boot/packages wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8699829/Crashplan_Plugin.tgz Add the following into your GO file (EX. /boot/config/go) # Install Crashplan Plugin installpkg /boot/packages/Crashplan_Plugin.tgz reboot server, and plugin should show up under utilities.
August 12, 201114 yr I'm not sure how i missed this before, I saw a reply with a comment about a 5.x plug in for crashplan. I look forward to installing this on my rig.
