Quick question for those using my.pogoplug service in ALARM

[Waynosan]

I recently installed ALARM onto my V2 Pogoplug and have a SAMBA share configured. For those who are running the my.pogoplug service in ALARM, how does it work compared to the stock device? Will I see all the device connected to the pogoplug (including the USB drive with ALARM)?

I am hoping that I can restrict the files that is seen through the pogoplug clients to just media files, and keep sensitive files, like those in Mydocuments folder, off.

Finally, do you have to manually update the service whenever CE pushes a new build or can that be automated?

Thank you!

You can restrict. See the commentary on the various services on how to edit the config so that it only uses certain dirs.

No auto update. I don't think thumbnails get displayed.

I personally like the my.pogoplug.com service a lot (iPhone photo stream backup). My main ALARM e02 system with my.pogoplug.com service crashed awhile back and I'm still trying to recover the data on it.

The Pogoplug itself is cheap enough (PP Mobile $13). I'm thinking of using a "stock" one just to run the my.pogoplug.com service (no baby sitting needed). I just don't want to attach a drive to it. I'm wondering if I can install Optware SAMBA on it and mount a CIFS share and "trick" the pogoplug to use the CIFS mount. Should be possible I think.

You don't need full samba to mount cifs, but the kernel needs to support it. I don't think it does on stock pogo. Also optware is basically dead. There is entware arm port.

I actually have two E02 pogoplugs so I guess maybe I should just keep one stock so I don't run into issues with the pogoplug service crashing... having said that, it would be nice if I could get them to talk to each other so I could backup the data from the one running the pogoplug service automatically.

@grayman4hire: That looks like a very interesting option; will try that!
