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 sudo python man git
What is not available:
- iotop: no I/O accounting support in kernel
- luks: no aes-xts support, don't know for the rest
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
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 /etc/init.d/backuppc start
If you choose encryption, it cannot start automatically anymore:
for i in /etc/rc*.d/S*backuppc; do mv $i ${i/S/K};done
update-rc.d backuppc defaults
systemctl --system daemon-reload
And from now on, use scripts to start/stop manually:
#!/bin/bash encfs --public /home/.backuppc /var/lib/backuppc && /etc/init.d/backuppc start
#!/bin/bash /etc/init.d/backuppc stop fusermount -u /var/lib/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 /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon stop
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:
chown -R joe.users /var/lib/transmission-daemon chown -R joe.users /etc/transmission-daemon systemctl --system daemon-reload /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start
