General

Initial login: admin/password

If SSH activated, root has same pwd as admin.

Update FW

Alerts:

Email: recipient email
Advanced settings/SMTP Server: can be 127.0.0.1 if you've installed Exim (see below)
Advanced settings/From: sender email
Then don't forget to "Apply" after having sent successfully a test message

Debian

System is a Debian Wheezy
Edit /etc/apt/sources.list and add

deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian jessie main                                                                                                                                 
deb http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian sid main

Create /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/00default

APT::Default-Release "stable";

apt-get update
apt-get install dialog
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get install mc screen binutils sshfs pv netcat encfs

mail

apt-get install exim4 bsd-mailx

Config: smarthost, no local email / yobi.be / visible domain name: yobi.be / smarthost: smtp.isp.xxx
Complete /etc/email-addresses

backuppc

apt-get install backuppc

Small issue because Apache is not running as the usual www-data but admin user:

chgrp admin /etc/backuppc/*
chgrp admin /usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi 
chmod u+s /usr/lib/backuppc/cgi-bin/index.cgi

Set backuppc password:

htpasswd /etc/backuppc/htpasswd backuppc

Move pool to the big partition, preserving hard links

/etc/init.d/backuppc stop
cp -a /var/lib/backuppc /home
rm -rf /var/lib/backuppc
ln -s /home/backuppc /var/lib/backuppc
/etc/init.d/backuppc start

If you want to encrypt backup pool, you can alternatively do:

/etc/init.d/backuppc stop
cp -a /var/lib/backuppc /home/backuppc.orig
rm -rf /var/lib/backuppc
mkdir /home/.backuppc
adduser backuppc fuse
mkdir /var/lib/backuppc
chown backuppc.backuppc /var/lib/backuppc
encfs --public /home/.backuppc /var/lib/backuppc
/etc/init.d/backuppc start

We need hardlinks, so use "standard" settings of encfs, no external IV chaining!
And because it will be accessed also by Apache, even if through some setuid, we need --public

su -s /bin/bash backuppc
$ rsync -avH /home/backuppc.orig/ /var/lib/backuppc
rm -rf /home/backuppc.orig

Then visit https://readynas/backuppc
Default backup of localhost /etc will fail due to some read access issues, we can ignore them by tuning the corresponding TarClientCmd and appending to it:

--ignore-failed-read

Transmission

There is a readynas app, but better to use the Debian one if you want to tune it.

apt-get install transmission-daemon

Edit /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json

"download-dir":...
"incomplete-dir":...
"rpc-password": "your_password", # note that it will be encrypted next time automatically

If you've some transmission settings to transfer from another machine:

settings.json is in /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
other stuffs (blocklists, resume, torrents,...) go to /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/

To fix .resume files from another location, here from /shares/.... to /data/....: file is bencoded but a few bash lines are enough

#!/bin/bash
FILE="$1"
OLDDESTSIZE=$(cat "$FILE"|cut -f6 -d:|head -n1|sed 's/destination//')
OLDDEST="/shares"
NEWDEST="/data"
NEWDESTSIZE=$(($OLDDESTSIZE-${#OLDDEST}+${#NEWDEST}))
sed -i "s#:destination[0-9]\+:${OLDDEST}#:destination${NEWDESTSIZE}:${NEWDEST}#" "$FILE"
chown guest:guest "$FILE"

To run it under another user:
Edit /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon -> USER=joe, then:

systemctl --system daemon-reload
chown -R joe.users /var/lib/transmission-daemon 
chown -R joe.users /etc/transmission-daemon

Transgui / Transmission options / Network / Incoming port <> router firewall?
