July 17, 201610 yr I'm trying to install Goodsync's Connect Service for their backup software system which would allow me to backup directly from Goodsync to the unraid server via tcpip (instead of SMB, which is failing). I need to install the goodsync run file, which worked fine until it went to configure the service as a daemon. At that point it complains about lack of init.d... Here's a copy of the install process output... http://my.jetscreenshot.com/12412/20160717-jb1c-156kb.jpg[/img] Is the problem with the 'custom' nature of unraid, i.e. it does not support init.d...or daemons in general? Or is there some other problem...? link to the run file... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/35207785/goodsync-linux-x86_64-release.run Thanks in advance!
July 17, 201610 yr unRAID at its base is slackware. 6.2RC2 is on version 14.2. As for the other questions.. I'll leave it to others smarter then I.
July 18, 201610 yr After a quick google =http://www.slackware.com/config/init.php Unraid is still Linux so it can and does run daemons. Slackware is probably the least user friendly distro you can get. It's a bit of a dark art and not one I understand.....
July 18, 201610 yr You will have an easier time getting it running in a Docker environment than running in the stripped down unRAID Host environment.
July 18, 201610 yr After a quick google [ur=http://www.slackware.com/config/init.phpl]search.... Unraid is still Linux so it can and does run daemons. Slackware is probably the least user friendly distro you can get. It's a bit of a dark art and not one I understand..... I'll take exception to this. It's very user friendly - it'll do exactly what you tell it - nothing more, nothing less. Unlike other distros, it doesn't try to second guess you, and just do what you asked for. I think this is why unRAID was based on Slackware. Though this makes it difficult for the average Joe I suspect.
July 18, 201610 yr OK, maybe I phrased it wrong, it's the least friendly to those of us that aren't as well versed in Linux..... And if you take the user base of Unraid then that would be the majority of Unraid users. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk
July 18, 201610 yr Also makes adding special things a bit more complicated as there is no persistent storage for the OS. Any changes made need to be reinstalled on every boot. Docker is a great way to add functionality without messing around too much Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
July 18, 201610 yr Author Great conversations. So it appears this should work in unRaid/slackware. So my question remains, why won't it run from the unraid command-line (see my first image post above.).
July 18, 201610 yr Slackware doesn't make use of /etc/init.d but uses /etc/rc.d instead. You need a package which is compiled for slackware, or - the better approach - go the Docker way.
