Put together an offsite backup NAS and got it mostly working, then took the machine to my parents' house 4 hours away and put it in place. It's a Core i3-530 with 8GB ECC RAM and 3x1TB drives in ZFS RAIDZ1. I was able to do a zfs send/receive to get a baseline on the server for the data, with the intent to be using syncthing via a custom tinc VPN install to sync data between this and my main NAS at my house. Note, I've been doing this for some time, but the reason for the change was to upgrade to 3.x so the ZFS plugin functions with snapshots, and to get some better hardware in there - the old one was an Atom D525 with 4GB RAM.
Now, the Tinc VPN setup is working. I can SSH into the server just fine, web UI is working great, Dashboard page shows all services that have been activated as green (in this case, Syncthing, Samba, TFTP, and SSH). The only one that works is SSH. Samba, Syncthing, and TFTP (mostly activated to just see if it worked) all show, after "systemctl restart xxxxx" that everything started, but it's "Active (Exited)" in status:
root@mjolnir:~# systemctl restart syncthing
root@mjolnir:~# systemctl status syncthing

Note, "systemctl start syncthing" did not do anything - it was showing "Active (Exited)" then timestamped 27 hours previous even after the "start". Issuing "restart" re-runs it, but the web interface isn't accessible. Same with SMB, start does nothing, restart reloads it, there's no errors I can find anywhere, but the system is completely unreachable via SMB/CIFS.
Even better, if I just run syncthing from a bash prompt, not only does it run, but the web interface is accessible. I've not attempted something similar with SMB, because I can't quite see how that would work out, and I'm now 4 hours away over mildly slow internet connection.
I even tried rebooting. Really can't figure out what the heck is going on here, so if anyone's got any ideas, I'm willing to try them. I've attached the Report file from the System Information tab in case that provides something useful.
Thanks!
