Hello,

 

I'm working on a tutorial for a distributed encrypted backup system between unRAID servers using duplicity and SSH.

The only binary package of Duplicity I found for Slackware is 0.6.5. I would prefer to stick to the latest stable release which fixes a number of issues. Duplicity is Python based so I thought that it would be easy to install assuming I also install its dependencies:

• Python v2.3 or later (http://www.python.org)
  
• GnuPG for encryption (http://www.gnupg.org)
  
• NcFTP version 3.1.9 or later, but not 3.2.0 (http://www.ncftp.com)
  
• Boto 0.9d or later (http://code.google.com/p/boto)
  

 

So I found the following Slackware packages from a -current branch:

- Python 2.6.4: ftp://slackware.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/d/python-2.6.4-i486-1.txz

- GnuPG 1.4.10: ftp://slackware.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/n/gnupg-1.4.10-i486-1.txz

- NCFTP 3.2.4: ftp://slackware.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/slackware-current/slackware/n/ncftp-3.2.4-i486-1.txz

- librsync 0.9.7: http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-13.0/libraries/librsync/0.9.7/librsync-0.9.7-i486-4as.txz

- Boto 1.9b (requires python setup.py install): http://boto.googlecode.com/files/boto-1.9b.tar.gz

 

 

Then I grabbed duplicity's source code at http://code.launchpad.net/duplicity/0.6-series/0.6.09/+download/duplicity-0.6.09.tar.gz

 

However when doing the python setup.py install it complains about a missing 'gcc' because it needs to compile just one single _librsync.c file. I then tried to install gcc 4.2.2 for Slack 12.2 but I'm still getting compilation errors.

 

Does someone have a full Slackware install handy and could install the above package, compile duplicity and create a binary package for me?

 

Thanks

[EDIT]

It didn't take too long to install a Slackware in a VM with build environment. I finally got my Duplicity 0.6.09 package and it runs under unRAID. I will post the package and instructions shortly.

 

Any update here or is someone doing this another way? I am working on building my second unraid server for redundancy so I am curious how people sync multiple servers....

 

Thanks!

Instructions are 98% ready. I just need to add a last section on duplicity config.

Wow... so you are completely duplicating between two unRaid systems?  I wonder if you could build two with multiple NICs and use a private network on Nic2 for the duplication traffic to keep it off your LAN.  Or are you going even further and doing multi-site duplication?

Where are the instructions?
