pogoplug with sickbeard, couch potato, sabnzbd

[rflores2323]

I am thinking about getting a pogoplug pro to run all my media. I have searched around and there are no clear how to's on how to get everything I want installed so coming to you guys for advise and instructions. See below what I am trying to accomplish

I will be using this to connect to my atv2 (xbmc and plex) for movies and tv shows.

Install arch linux - Will I still have the original pogoplug software accessible??
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/pogoplug-provideov3

Install samba
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Run the following, and answer yes to all questions:
pacman -Sy samba avahi

Now we create a user that will be used for guest access. Use all defaults and pick a password.
adduser pcguest

Add the new guest account to samba. (Use a blank password since it's a guest account).
smbpasswd -a pcguest

Note: This will not work until you have created the configuration file below.

The only thing left is to create a configuration file. The Samba server will not launch without one being present.

Configuration
To configure your Samba install, you need to create a smb.conf file. Below is a very simple configuration file.

touch /etc/samba/smb.conf

Now edit it. (Check the bottom of this page for a link to Samba configuration help. Any Samba guide will work.)

nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Here's a sample configuration file that should allow full public access to the first plugged in drive (for the Pogoplug. Adjust the drive's path to match the path to the drive you want to share.

[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = ALARM netbios name = ALARM security = share load printers = no printing = bsd printcap name = /dev/null disable spools = yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 dns proxy = no socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072 SO_KEEPALIVE [ArchLinuxARM] path = /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sdb1/ read only = no public = yes writable = yes force user = root

In order to avoid some Windows 7 related errors edit /etc/security/limits.conf, scroll down to the end of the file and add the following line:

* - nofile 16384

Save the file and reboot in order for the changes to take effect.

Starting the Server
To start Samba, run:
/etc/rc.d/samba start

To start Samba on boot edit /etc/rc.conf, scroll down to the end of the file and add "samba" to the list of DAEMONS.')

create swap file
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'This will create a 512MB swap file, named "swapfile.img" in /.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile.img bs=1M count=512 #for a 1GB swapfile, use count=1024 mkswap /swapfile.img

You can now turn the swap file on using:
swapon /swapfile.img

You can also turn it off by using:
swapoff /swapfile.img

Always-on Swapfile
To have your swapfile always enabled, even after a reboot, without having to manually turn it on or off, add the following line to the end of your /etc/fstab file using nano or similar:
/swapfile.img none swap sw 0 0

If you're worried about editing /etc/fstab, you can add "swapon /swapfile.img" to a new line in your /etc/rc.local file. The effect is the same.')

install sabnzbd
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Sy sabnzbd')

install sickbeard
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'yaourt -AS sickbeard')

install couch potato
dont see anywhere an install guide for this.

so will this install everything including all packages like cherry, python, etc.. to be able to run the programs from a webpage.

Also when I install these packages will it automatically run a start up script or do I have to do that with an init.d script?

I am linux newbie so any help would be helpful,

Thanks

The original software is proprietary, so no

You could look into doing all of this via Optware @ NSLU2 though.

ok I finally bought one of these little devices to try to make a file server and automated downloader out of it. I got the Pogoplug POGO-P21 however some poeple have been receiving the E02(v2) which is the faster 1.2gz even though website say P21.

I am going to be installing archlinux , sickbeard, couchpotato, sabnzbd, and samba on it. Hopefully it will have enough power to get all this done.

I have found this tutorial and wanted to see if this was a good one to use? http://www.goewert.org/p/pogoplug-from-out-of-box-to-media.html

Or does anyone have any other good tutorials to use? Videos? I can tell you that I am a linux noob so all the help I can get will be helpful.

thanks

Just use the official install instructions, then go about the software.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rflores2323', 'C')an I install webmin to have a gui interface also? Might be easier for me instead of commandlines. Your thoughts?

[rflores2323]

Is there something like freenas, flexraid, unraid, on archlinux that I can install on the pogoplug? Would like something to be able to backup my files.

[rflores2323]

pls close this thread. I will be asking in the correct forum as I have the v2. Sorry.
