I increased the max mem substantially from the default when blank. I’ll see how that goes. No idea why I’d have that issue all of a sudden though. I’ve literally been running this for years. 

The amount of memory needed directly depends on the amount of data you have to backup, something that probably increases with time.  CrashPlan suggests to allocate about 1GB per TB of backup data.

Well that’s going to be a problem. I have a total of 37TB currently backed up. It doesn’t go up often any more, but when it does is many GB at a time. 
 

it’s currently just doing a scan and my memory usage has already doubled from before. I never had this thing stopping like this before and the size hasn’t changed. This is new since the update, but I never did see all those restarts in the logs cause I had no reason to go looking.

 

If you’re right then even the 6Gb I allocated isn’t going to be enough and I obviously don’t have enough memory to do what’s recommended. Guess I’ll see how this goes.

FYI - so far so good. Apparently this hasn’t been working for a while even though the thing was running and said everything was backed up. I had a 3TB backlog which I’m guessing is why it kept erroring out after the update. Giving 8GB memory has kept it stable. I have more memory on the way so I’ll allocate more soon. 
 

Thanks much.

Having some trouble setting this up and now exactly sure what could be causing the issue. Brand new account, with 2FA enforced. New docker install, log in prompts for email, and then then password. Only error I get is "Unable to sign in." The logs do not indicate any issue and my network settings seem fine. 


Any ideas?

Did you check in service.log.0 ?

I'm getting the same error when trying to login. I can't see anything in the log.

I cannot seem to connect to CrashPlan's servers any longer.  I have since tried by deauthorizing the service.  via the VNC viewer, I get the "Sign into CrashPlan" dialogue where it asks ONLY for your login email address.  When I provide that it spends about a minute and then times out and gives me this error: Unable to sign in. Can't connect to server.

 

However, from the docker's console window I can type:

nc -vz clients.us1.crashplan.com 4287

And get:

Connection to clients.us1.crashplan.com 4287 port [tcp/*] succeeded!

 

Per this link from CrashPlan.

 

I have then tried reinstalling the Docker Image and removing the CrashPlanPRO folder on appdata/

 

Here's the tail of service.log.0:

Furthermore, I can both nc and ping the following from the logs successfully:

Any advice?  I'm stumped.  Happy to start completely over if folks thinks that will help, but what do I do there?  Remove CrashPlan from the Docker tab and delete /mnt/cache/appdata/CrashPlanPRO?  Anything else?

Did you try to contact the CrashPlan support team ?  Maybe there is an issue their side ?

It 100% was.  Apologies for the fire drill.  

 

I am, however, seeing a new and interesting problem.  I have Crashplan Central (i.e. their cloud) and I have a local folder called "Crashplan_Local_Backups" as a second destination where it is backing up Crashplan to /mnt/disk1.  So that location is the same location for all of my backup sets, but some of the sets are reporting:

 

Archive Missing - Backup location is not accessible.

 

That said, SOME of the sets have this errors and others do not?

I also cannot log in with the Crashplan Docker. I made an VM Ubuntu 22.04 machine on UnRAID, downloaded and run Crashplan there, and that works. I also asked the support team from CP, what can cause the login issue. Did not get a reply yet.

 

Can the issue be that the Docker version is voor Small Business, while I have a Pro account? When downloading a installer from their website, it also ask for the version you want to run.

Is there a walkthrough on how to setup a local backup via Crashplan?  I'd like to use part of my array to backup everything locally, a subset of which gets backed up to Crashplan Central.

 

I had it working at one point, but now I get a number of "Archive Missing" errors. I have a feeling it has something to do with the volume and how it is mounted (ro?) or with how the share was setup.

 

When I try to "add a local destination" within the Crashplan app, I navigate to /storage and try to add a folder and get an error that the file system is read only.

 

When I create a folder on the Shares tab of Unraid and then "add a local destination" of that folder, I get this cryptic:

There was a problem.  Please try again.

 

Everything is basically default from the App Install:

UID: 99

GID: 100

UMASK: 0000

 

Anyone get this working?  Would love some pointers.

In container's setting, you need to add a new "Path".  This path should be R/W and will be used to store the local backup.  When you create the path, you map a path in unRAID to a path inside the container.  Inside the container you can simply use something like "/localbackup".

Hi, I created a custom network and set up my reverse proxy to route to the Non-Bridge ports.
Now I would like to remove the Bridge ports to prevent access directly from the local network without going through the reverse proxy. 
The problem I have is that there is no [Remove] button beside the fields of the two Bridge ports.
I also tried to just empty the fields but when I save, the fields are filled back with the default value.

 

Would it be possible to get those two fields unlocked ? Thanks

Here, on the two "Bridge Network Type" there is no remove button.

These apply only when the "Network Type" setting in the same page is set to "Bridge".  From what I understand, this is not your case.  So the "WEB Port fo rGUI (Bridge Network Type)" and "VNC Port for GUI (Bridge Network Type)" settings don't apply and are not used in your case.

Occasionally (like half the times I try) I can't login the web-ui saying Crashplan is "upgrading to a new version".

Looking at the history log I see these messages beginning on March 10th:

 

06/20/23 04:55 PM    CrashPlan started, version 11.0.1, GUID 632038001948010500
06/20/23 04:56 PM    Downloading a new version of CrashPlan.
06/20/23 04:57 PM    Download of upgrade failed - version 15252000061111, connection lost.
06/20/23 04:57 PM    Unable to apply upgrade(s), retrying in one hour

 

Docker image version is 23.06.1 which is the latest. Should the image updated to get rid of this issue?

Thanks.

 

I didn't see anything listed as a definitive solution to this, but I'm having the same problem. My lead up to the problem is a little different in that I managed to trash my cache drive completely and have been reinstalling from scratch. That got me my old config and the latest container; not sure what version I was on before.

 

However, at this point, I can't log into the local WebUI either, same message. It is running and is connected to CrashPlan.com and successfully connected last night as checked on crashplan.com. But even after nearly 24 hours, the WebUI still says it's upgrading and won't let me in.

 

The log is below, I'm not sure where to look to fix this.

Well, I rolled back to

And this works both with Host and Bridge for networking.

 

I'll try rolling forward step by step and see if it works.
