How to install and enable CrashPlan on the QNAP nas (Atom models)
Install: Opware (qpkg, from qnap homepage)
From an SSH run this:
Edit the install.sh (I use the command "nano install.sh")
|
#!/opt/bin/bash
BINSLOC="/bin /opt/bin /usr/bin /usr/local/bin"
|
Install Crashplan (command is: "./install.sh") using "admin" user and into "/opt/crashplan"
Getting it to start on reboot.
edit /etc/config/qpkg.conf, and add: (I use the command "nano /etc/config/qpkg.conf")
[CrashPlanStarter]
Name = CrashPlanStarter
Version = 0.1
Enable = FALSE
QPKG_File =
Date = 2009-12-06
Shell = /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/crashplan/cprun.sh
Install_Path = /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/crashplan
Author = Cokeman.dk |
now we must create the "/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/crashplan/cprun.sh":
| mkdir /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/crashplan |
use your favorite scp program to transfer the cprun.sh, attached to the guide. into "/share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/crashplan"
Last but not at least, run the command:
| chmod +x /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/crashplan/cprun.sh |
to start crashplan use the webadmin of the QNAP, to start the QPKG, that we have just made.
or you can start crastplan manualy to test if it works. (It will not start on reboot, there you must enable it using the webadmin)
|
cd /opt/crachplan/bin
ln -s /opt/bin/bash /bin/bash
./crashplan start

QNAP - QPKG 
Comments
Hey,
lots have the same problem it seems, i have submitted a request to CrashPlan about this, and i have a thread on qnap forums about this as well ..
I did install it via a QPKG package from http://forum.qnap.com/viewforum.php?f=227 as you did it "manually" via ikpg i guess.
You can follow the ticket here https://crashplan.zendesk.com/requests/83633
Cheers
Has anyone solved this yet?
Well Thats why you have to use putty, and connect to 127.0.0.1 port 4242 and via putty redirecting it to the qnap's IP
One thing is not working for me, I cannot connect my client (Windows 7) to the QNAP Crashplan (I am following http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/how_to/configure_a_headless_client)
ssh command line is not working in win7? So I try to open a port in putty.
However, Crashplan cannot connect.
When I type:
$ netstat -na | grep LISTEN | grep 42
I get no results, I think that is the problem..
Is there a way to open the ports 4242 and 4243 on the QNap?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
Thats where you have to setup the headless client. http://support.crashplan.com/doku.php/how_to/configure_a_headless_client
Just like the install script

Hi Michael
Thanks for the response.
I am having the almost same problem as rwlodarc in this forum: "http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=26638"
I am trying to start it manually:
[/opt/crashplan/bin] # ./crashplan start
Starting CrashPlan Engine ... Using standard startup
OK
[/opt/crashplan/bin] # ./crashplan status
CrashPlan Engine is stopped.
[/opt/crashplan/bin] # ./crashplan restart
Restarting CrashPlan Engine ... Stopping CrashPlan Engine ... /opt/crashplan/ bin/CrashPlanEn gine: line 125: kill: (6069) - No such process
OK
Starting CrashPlan Engine ... Using standard startup
OK
[/opt/crashplan/bin] # ./crashplan status
CrashPlan Engine is stopped.
Would be really nice to get this to work.
