[How-To] install my.pogoplug.com service on any armv5 device

[Highvoltag3]

It would also be nice to know how to update for those that installed before the 3.3 link was up.

I'm not really using the service anymore because I don't have a use for it, but some things don't work and I don't know how to fix it. To update, if you are using a package just use --force if you are not using the package, just overwrite all the files.

I followed whole tutorial and got my device activated @ my.pogoplug.com, but I can't mount my USB drive.

- my.pogoplug.com is working and reporting "Your Pogoplug device does not have a hard drive attached.To get started, please attach an external hard drive to any of the available USB ports."

- pogoplug.conf
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@pogoplug ~]# cat /etc/pogoplug.conf
installdir=/usr/local/cloudengines
datadir=.
vfsdir0=USB,/run/media/root/sdb1-usb-Lexar_JD_FireFly
datadir=.
nohotplug=1
svcid=my_device_ID
')

- /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/hbplug.conf
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
[root@pogoplug ~]# cat /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/hbplug.conf
installdir=/usr/local/cloudengines
datadir=.
vfsdir0=USB,/run/media/root/sdb1-usb-Lexar_JD_FireFly
datadir=.
nohotplug=1
svcid=my_device_ID
')

-mount output
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
....
/dev/sdb1 on /run/media/root/sdb1-usb-Lexar_JD_FireFly type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,user_xattr,acl,barrier=1,nodelalloc,data=ordered)
')

Any ideas why it isn't working?

Comment one of that datadir=. see if that helps. If not, shutdown the service and copy /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/hbplug.conf to /etc/pogoplug.conf and edit that one to include the your shared dir. It likes to mess witht he config file and it seems it like the variables in a certain order as well.

If that doesn't help, modify the /usr/local/cloudengines/pogoplug.sh to copy pogoplug.conf into /usr/local/cloudengines instead of /usr/local/cloudengines/bin I believe that one takes precedence

Try this pogoplug.conf (notice the order of variables):

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'vfsdir0=USB,/run/media/root/sdb1-usb-Lexar_JD_FireFly
installdir=/usr/local/cloudengines
datadir=.
nohotplug=1
svcid=<your svcid>')

The Seagate Goflex devices support to activate Samba sharing in the local network. There is an option in the web interface for this which I didn't see in any Pogoplug device yet. Would it be possible to implement this function in the installation package wich is provided here?

You are right that I can install Samba with ALARM. But I also need a configuration. It is just the question if Samba provided by the cloudengines software can be used as well. In this case the smb configuration would be done with the pogoplug Web interface. It is somehow similar to the configuration of the PPPro WLAN interface. With the original FW this is possible with the web interface. With the cloudengines SW installed as addon to ALARM/Debian this function is not visible in the web interface possibly because some preconditions are not met.

Additionally it would be interesting to know why Samba is supported with Goflex but not with Pogoplug devices.

[WarheadsSE]

Because it is not the copy that is from the GFN. That is why.

[grayman4hire]

Am I missing something? Are we not talking about two different pieces of hardware from two different companies (with two different business models)? Does the GoFlex natively support my.pogoplug.com service?

Are there Pogoplug models that support samba out of the box (configurable via the web interface)?

Pogoplug could easily add built in SAMBA support if they wanted to. However, IMHO, their business model is about making money off their subscription based cloud storage services and the hardware is just a means for them to get you in the door. Versus Seagate which is a storage company primarily, and they want to sell you more (local) storage.
