  • VPN client with OMV + transmission

    Well, the first thing you will need to do is ensure that transmission is running under its own unique user id (UID). For rtorrent, this user (UID) is specified in the init.d file (etc/init.d/rtorrent). I assume that you will have a similar file for transmission . . . depending on how transmission is installed or how it works it may not like / allow running under a different UID?? btw, you can check the UID of the running processes probably through the OMV interface or by running "ps aux" at cli prompt (as root).


    I then used the information in this link to tunnel the UID only through the interface. . . .

  • VPN client with OMV + transmission

    You can check your torrent ip using this;

    Code
    http://torguard.net/checkmytorrentipaddress.php


    The problem you will most likely have is that when connected to the VPN, all your traffic may be tunnelled through the VPN - which may not be desirable. I split my traffic by process UID, i.e. only processes running under a specific UID (in my instance the rtorrent UID) are tunnelled through the VPN, all other traffic goes through normal ISP WAN.

  • Primary route with virtual nic

    Gave up on this. Switched from routing an IP forwarded from my OMV to my router to routing a specific UID for the process. Am sharing the link as think its a good one;

    Code

  • Primary route with virtual nic

    I thought I had solved this by installing ifmetric. According to the debian documentation ifmetric assigns priorities to the network interfaces. I therefore edited /etc/network/interfaces to the below but everything still starts with a Metric of 1.



    When I try to set the metric from the command line I get;

    Code
    root@OMV:~# ifmetric eth0:1 10
Interface 'eth0:1' not existent.


    All a bit odd. The debian documentation says it should all work; http://www.debian.org/doc/manu…tml#_the_ifmetric_package


    Does anyone have any experience with this?

  • Primary route with virtual nic

    I am going around in circles with a general linux / debian problem, hopefully someone will be able to point me in the correct direction.


    What I want to do is ensure that all the traffic from an application / process is routed through a vpn client, whilst all other traffic goes through the default ISP WAN. Further, I wish to ensure that if the vpn connection drops the process doesnt ‘leak’ through the ISP WAN route.


    I am sure there are many ways of doing this. So far what I have done is created a virtual interface in my machine, eth0:1 and assigned it an IP. Therefore my machine has eth0, ip = 192.168.2.20 and eth0:1, with the assigned IP 192.168.2.21.


    My router then connects to the VPN and routes only 192.168.2.21 through the VPN provider, whilst 192.168.2.20 goes through the ISP WAN, so far so good.


    The issue I have is that when 192.168.2.21 is created on my OMV system, all sorts of processes utilise this IP, whereas I only want the 1 x specific process to utilise this IP and the rest to go through the default WAN ISP.


    I have done some googling but its all a bit bewildering. I am not sure if I should be trying to achieve this through ip routing or IPtables, or a combination of both?


    At present I have the following;

    Code
    root@OMV:~# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
0.0.0.0         192.168.2.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0
192.168.2.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0
root@OMV:~# ip route show
default via 192.168.2.1 dev eth0
192.168.2.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.2.21


    I can see from the output of netstat –nlp that various processes are using the virtual eth0:1 ip and the output of curl http://ipecho.net/plain; echo gives the VPN IP address, i.e. through eth0:1 rather than that through the ISP WAN.


    As another way of showing the same problem;

    Code
    root@OMV:~# ip addr show
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen 1000
    link/ether 38:ea:a7:a9:2e:fa brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.2.21/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global eth0:1
    inet 192.168.2.20/24 brd 192.168.2.255 scope global secondary eth0


    Which shows that eth0 is the secondary address, whereas at a minimum eth0:1 should be.


    If anyone with more knowledge than me can point me in a direction . . . at the moment I am looking too sporadically to find a solution, i.e. I dont know which direction to investigate.


    Many thanks as always,

  • Filesystem does not exist errors

    Hello,


    I have a (relatively) new install on an HP N54L. I have a SSD system drive and 2 x additional data drives installed. One of the data drives had 3 x partitions, from my previous OMV single disk installation, but I removed 2 x partitions after the new OMV installation (using GParted running from a USB). I then had missing filesystems that I could not delete in the OMV GUI, so as discussed in other forum posts I removed the erroneous partitions from /etc/fstab and /etc/openmediavault/config.xml - together with updating OMV via the GUI.


    In the syslog I still have the following messaging, which pertains to the partitions I deleted from /etc/fstab and /etc/openmediavault/config.xml;


    The syslog then loops with this message . . i.e. grows very big very quickly.


    Some more information is; the output of blkid and fdisk -l are;


    Does anyone have any ideas on what is happening?


    Many thanks,
    C

  • Another OMV NAS in HP Proliant 54L

    Thank-you all for your comments. I have decided to push the button and buy one of these, I will also get a 60GB SSD as they are only £40. I have never used a raid set-up before so I guess I have a bit of learning / reading to do, so brace yourself for another forum post(s?) in the future. At the moment my research list includes BIOS Mod, Backports, VirtualBox/VMWare, RAID/SnapRaid/ZFS . . . should be enough to keep me busy for this weekend! Thanks again for your comments.

  • Another OMV NAS in HP Proliant 54L

    Hello,


    I note that these have £50 off for the month of December (total price = £139), so I too am thinking about updating - I currently have OMV running on a single disk Qnap TS-119Pii and although it does the job its a bit slow to load some interfaces and of course has no redundancy.


    I note the discussion on using a SSD for the system drive. What is the prime reason for this? Speed? Energy Use? or just because it frees an additional bay for an additional drive in the RAID cluster?


    I was thinking that I would go RAID 5 with 3 x 2TB drives (I think this makes sense??). I could then either put the system on an spare drive I have, or should I consider SSD?


    thanks for any advice,
    C

  • Apache Autostart

    Hello,


    I am trying to install something from a script. The installation requires that apache is not running. I stop apache (/etc/init.d/apache2 stop) and proceed with working through the install script. The issue is that by the time I get to the end of the script and it tries to do its thing apache has automatically restarted. I just cannot kill it off and keep it down! Is this related to OMV? i.e. is OMV setup to automatically start apache if its down?


    Many thanks,

  • [SOLVED] rtorrent+rutorrent

    Thank-you for your response, it assisted me in getting it to work.


    In my base installed I had only one site enabled, /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/openmediavault-webgui, which is a sym-link of the same file in ..../sites-available. I therefore edited /etc/apache2/sites-available/openmediavault-webgui to look as per your suggestion.


    I note that I had to make a few other changes to get things working and I list them in case it helps someone else in the future.


    The file /etc/apache2/ports.conf was set up to listen on port 8080, but we had just specified that in the revised /etc/apache2/sites-available/openmediavault-webgui.


    Further I could not access http://myserverip/rutorrent as there was the webserver was not being told to listen anywhere on port 80. I therefore had to change /etc/apache2/ports.conf to;


    Code
    NameVirtualHost *:80
Listen 80


    Now everything works.


    As an extension, I added password protection to my rutorrent page by changing the file /etc/apache2/sites-available/openmediavault-webgui to;



    I then;

    Code
    cd /var/www/rutorrent
sudo htpasswd -c /var/www/rutorrent/.htpasswd “scoobynz”


    you will be asked for a password twice.

  • [SOLVED] rtorrent+rutorrent

    Hi svart,


    I am trying to achieve the same. Does this file mean that your apache listens on port 81 and this is the port for your OVM GUI? You then have a virtualhost at port 80 for rutorrent? Do you then enter http://serverIP/rutorrent to get to rutorrent or I assume you just enter http://serverIP and it brings up rutorrent?


    I want to have my OVM on port 8080, where it is set now and I want to get to rutorrent through http://serverIP/rutorrent. . .


    Many thanks,
    C

  • Apache Problems

    Well, I created empty bash files /usr/sbin/a2dissite and /etc/init.d/apache2 and was then able to remove the offending openmediavault-website, i.e. bypass the errors.


    I then reinstalled apache2 and openmediavault (took a loooonnnggg time - man I deleted nearly half my system!!)


    I then rebooted my system for good measure and I can access the OVM GUI again - success!


    I suppose after enforcing such trauma on my system I may have a few other side effects to resolve but at least I have something to work with now.


    Many thanks for your assistance ryecoaaron! much appreciated

  • Apache Problems

    I cannot find any files to replace, the files in the extraction all seem (I think) to be on my installed system.


    I think the issue is that the file /var/lib/dpkg/info/openmediavault-website.postrm requires the presence of both a2dissite and /etc/init.d/apache2 to be able to uninstall openmediavault-website. But a2dissite and /etc/init.d/apache2 are part of apache2 which is no longer on the system and cannot be installed until openmediavault-website is removed. . . . catch22!!


    I dont know what to do, have been googling, looking through the forums but coming up short. . .

  • Apache Problems

    . . . . and when I run the last 2 x commands from your previous post I get;


    Code

  • Apache Problems

    I was thinking along the same lines, but was thinking I needed to find the openmediavault-website deb / dpkg file to reinstall the plugin?


    I ran the commands as per your post but am still having problems;



    I appreciate your help, do you have any other ideas?

  • Apache Problems

    Im afraid that I still get the same errors when issuing the first command in your post. . . . I am feeling like im in a deep hole here, so thanks for your help.

  • Apache Problems

    it is;


    Code
    root@qnap:~# dpkg -l | grep openmediavault

  • Apache Problems

    hmmmm, I tried the order you supplied and also with openmediavault first but I still get the same error my previous post.


    Any other ideas, Im scuppered. . . .
