squirrellydw Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Has anyone heard about or used POGOPLUG, could this work with unRAID somehow? This would be so cool!! http://www.pogoplug.com/home-en.html Link to comment
kizer Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 I have it and well lets just say its cool, but I've been having more fun with DropBox. Pogoplug allows you to plug in any USB Storage device, which more or less is 4 USB ports. You can then install hubs if you wish to allow for more devices. You can then share your data with others via the plug and they can share their devices with you. Would be a pretty simple P2P sharing if you really wanted to use it for that. What I don't like about the pogoplug. This from my limited experience so please don't take it as the word. Ive been asking for features like the ability to track who has connected and what did they download. They say it can not be done. Magically they release a new pogoplug for business that does allow it and they charge $100 more for it. I mean come on either give your users what they want or do not. Do not insult them with putting out new devices that cost them more money and slap them in the face for it when it more or less is the same thing. I do like the fact that you can install windows software on your Laptop that would give you a P drive and then from there no matter where you are you still have your P drive that is a virtual link to your PogoPlug no matter where you are. I live in the US and I was sharing photos from my pogoplug while I was in Canada on vacation. I can give somebody limited access to mine if they kinda want to play on it a little bit. Call it a live demo if you must. Just shot me a PM. Link to comment
Chris Pollard Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 opera unite does something similar, dunno how useful it would be for movies, seemed kinda slow when I used it. Link to comment
squirrellydw Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 Hey kizer, I would like to play with it if you could give me access. Is there away to plug in unraid Link to comment
kizer Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Just sent you a PM. Basically its a way so you can access files, but I"m going to give you limited access so you can upload/download files. Obviously there is more that you can do, but I can't give you admin access because well then you would have admin access. LOL I don't know of anyway to give unRAID access. I know there is a SMB hack you can do so maybe you can do it via it some how. http://www.pogoplugged.com/forum/thread/11661/OpenPogo-Launched-install-Samba-Web-servers-more-on-your-Pogoplug/ Link to comment
kizer Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Tinkering around they have an entire Linux section for PogoPlug. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm thinking I might tinker some and see if I can copy files to/from pogo and backup to my unRAID. My thinking it would be really cool to take photos and use my Android phone to upload them and then havde them backed up on my unRAID. Well its an idea of course. http://www.pogoplugged.com/forums/36/Pogoplug-Drive-for-Linux/threads Link to comment
smino Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 What if Pogo Plug features were included in the next version of Unraid? All I can say then is wow!

I would also setup an unraid box at the grandparents place, and automatically backup all my files there as well. Link to comment
kizer Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Did some tinkering around with Pogoplug today. I was really interested to see if I could even connect to it. Well Guess what you can. 1. First off you need a PogoPlug. 2. Get the app here to connect. 3. I used the instructions from here. http://www.pogoplugged.com/article/11740/How-To-Install-Pogoplug-Drive-Software-on-Ubuntu-9.04/ I just created a mount point here for testing /mnt/pogoplug More or less this is the command I used ./pogoplugfs --user your_email_address_here --password your_password_here --mountpoint /mnt/pogoplug This is the output of the above command. I'm going to tweak some of it just incase there is somethings that shouldn't be seen. root@Tower:/boot# ./pogoplugfs --user your_email_address_here --password your_password_here --mountpoint /mnt/pogoplug & [1] 29505 root@Tower:/boot# [230749.003][307718][CEFSAP][08] ********************************************** [230749.003][307718][CEFSAP][08] ********************************************** [230749.003][307718][CEFSAP][08] ********************************************** [230749.003][307718][CEFSAP][08] Application Started [VERSION 'LINUX GENERIC - 1.0.0.6' 'GENERIC - 0.80'] [230749.003][307718][CEFSAP][08] Property mode: [230749.003][307718][CEFSAP][08] SVCURL: http://service.pogoplug.com/svc/api [230749.003][307718][CEFSAP][08] SVCFILEURL: http://service.pogoplug.com/svc/files [230749.003][307718][bRHTTP][02] RECONNECTING 0x816b4c0 [230749.364][307718][bRHTTP][08] Verifying SSL certificate of peer...

So it looks like you can very well connect your PogoPlug to unRAID with a few commands. The reason I'm interested it would give me the chance to upload photos to my pogoplug and then sync with my photo folder on unRAID and the other way. I'm not sure what is the best location to mount or honestly I haven't really checked permissions lol. Nevermind I just did I can create things it appears on the pogoplug via console. Any recommendations on where I should mount? It would be kinda cool if I could mount it in around as a share so I could just have access to the plug via Linux without using PogoPlugs app that creates a virtual P drive. killall pogoplugfs Appears to kill the connection or the app. I tried to use umount, but it didn't seem to respond to that very well, but that killall command seems to shut it down. root@Tower:/boot# killall pogoplugfs [232404.184][307597][HBFUSE][08] Fuse loop exited: 0 root@Tower:/boot# [232404.223][307597][CEFSAP][08] Application Gracefully exiting...

squirrellydw Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Very cool, I might have to get one now. I like this idea better than crashplan Link to comment
kizer Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I wouldn't say its better than Crashplan. I just like the idea i can access it via unRAID. I'll play with it over the Christmas break and see if I can get some syncing going. Link to comment
SpartanSoul Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Please keep us posted as you play around with it. I had been thinking of getting one of these to play with myself. There is a version of http://www.amahi.org/ for it. Now that I may be able to tie it into unRaid I guess I'll have to get one. Link to comment
kizer Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Ok, I was able to create a share, which I just happened to name pogoplug which I created on disk4 /mnt/user/pogoplug I of course used my permissions of read write for my account. I then mounted my pogoplug to that share. Now when I view my network I see pogoplug as one of them. I am able to create folders on my windows machine, unRAID machine and directly via the pogoplug interface. So its appearing that what I want is kinda happening. Link to comment

I am able to create folders on my windows machine, unRAID machine and directly via the pogoplug interface. So its appearing that what I want is kinda happening. Just be aware that if you were to attempt to stop the unRAID array right now it would probably not be able to un-mount the /mnt/user file system until AFTER you un-mount the pogoplug drive. Check it out yourself, when the server is not otherwise busy, press the "Stop" button on the web-interface. The web-interface may lock up until you log in via telnet and type umount /mnt/usr/pogoplug Joe L. Link to comment
kizer Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Thanks Joe L. Last night I was just killing the process, which is more or less killing the app. I did try to umount it after killing the process and this is what I got. root@Tower:~# umount /mnt/user/pogoplug umount: /mnt/user/pogoplug: not mounted Just tried to stop the array and after a few seconds it shut down which to me looked like normal. Is there a bit of code you can edit that would go along with the push button so you can build in things to shut down prior unRAID trying to shut down the array? Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Not easily done in unRAID 4.x series (can be done by grepping the last few lines of the syslog for certain phrases) but it's more easily doable with 5.0 series since it includes event notifications such as "stopping array" and "stopped array". Link to comment
kizer Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 From the looks of it I'll have to umount manually, but I wonder how hard it would be to incorporate umount into the shutdown script when there is a power outage and my array tries to shut down. Unless I'm wrong I'm guessing the key would be to edit the powerdown-1.02-noarch-unRAID.tgz located in /boot/packages I'm currently guessing it would be one of two files to make it permanent. To test I'm guessing I should tinker with the files located in ram just to play it safe since I can always reboot and reload what I know works. rc.unRAID powerdown Sorry If I appear to be rambling with these posts. I apologize, I tend to try and log my steps/thoughts so I don't forget where I am and possibly somebody else would throw in their thoughts. Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 If you only care about tieing into a full system shutdown then you can do two things. First is merely hook into /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown. Just stop your own items before it calls out to powerdown as /etc/rc.d/rc.unRAID. Though if you don't mind modifying that larger script (/etc/rc.d/rc.unRAID), you can insert your lines in the unRAID_stop() function after it stops cache_dirs and before it stops vmware.

kizer Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Thanks BRiT I'm not 100% sure how to do what you mentioned, but I'm guessing if I take a look at some of the code I could muddle through it. Link to comment
kamhighway Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Does anyone have this working with the latest version of pogoplugfs from Pogoplug? If so, could you tell me whether unraid's proprietary FUSE layer works with pogoplug? Thanks in advance. Link to comment

This would be so cool!! http://www.pogoplug.com/home-en.html The idea of paying a reoccuring fee just kills me. I hate that kind of model.

kamhighway Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 The idea of paying a reoccuring fee just kills me. I hate that kind of model. I would rather pay a higher amount and get "unlimited" and never pay again. It is just another way to access your data, that's all. Save your money and use the ton of free services out there. The pogoplug (about $20) with the basic/free level of service is a great deal. The recurring fees are for additional services (cloud storage on pogoplug's servers, additional users, offsite archival storage) that I don't need. The basic/free service allows you to make your own (virtually unlimited) cloud by plugging in a usb drive, or mounting an unraid share. You also get 5 GB of space in Pogoplug's cloud. With some work you can run SAB, SB, CP, and Transmission on the pogoplug thus reducing the number of plugins running on unraid. I figure the fewer plugins I put on unraid, the more stable the unraid server will be. The pogoplug only draws about 7 watts so I don't mind leaving it on all the time. I have no affiliation with pogoplug. There are things I don't like about the pogoplug software, but for $20 I'm a satisfied customer. Link to comment

Which pogoplug do you recommend? They are ~$22 for version 2. It looks like Archlinux can be installed with Owncloud (giving similar back-up/cloud capabilties). If you could stick transmission/SAB/CP/SB on it, and it still runs decent, that could be a alternative. Does it do anything to help protect unRaid from the outside world? Link to comment

Does it do anything to help protect unRaid from the outside world I have the black pogoplug classic. Then box says it is a model P21, but the sticker on the bottom says its an E02. As for protecting unRaid from the outside world, the unRaid share is as protected as anything else attached to the Pogoplug. I realize I am depending on Cloud Engines for security, but I think this is better than attempting to harden the unRaid server itself. Link to comment
Loch Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I hate the idea of exposing my archive to the Interwebs so this seems a bit more appealing to me than running a server directly on unRaid. Link to comment
