Hi all, Thought I would reawaken my Unix skills with a NAS project and some hardware hacks, I have successfully updated uBoot to the latest version and Linux 5.8.3 Kirkwood on an SDCARD in a Pogo V4 thanks to all the instructions on this forum. All seems to be well so far and I have installed Samba onto the box with apt-get.

I wanted to simplify every day management of the Samba Server using SWAT or a similar web page interface so I can mount USB sticks and create shares. If I try and download the SWAT package, apt-get Install swat I get an unable to locate package error. Has SWAT been installed with the Samba package and if so how do I enable it. If not, is it the best tool to use or should I be looking for something else?

I have not installed a webserver package yet on the device and was also hoping for recommendations on a small footprint web server package that wont swamp the processor.

Thanks - Bob

Just thought I would do an update on this post for anyone else who is trying to make a simple front end for a pogo NAS.

In the end, I went for an compact installation of Webmin and then installed the modules for the items I wanted to manage which includes Samba. I used the following instructions to do the install

1 - Install Perl

sudo apt-get install libnet-ssleay-perl

2 - Get the latest minimal install (I had already downloaded the latest file and copied it over my network with SMB)

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.9xx-minimal.tar.gz

3 - Extract the files

sudo tar -zxvf webmin-1.9xx-minimal.tar.gz

4 - make the install point and install

sudo mkdir /var/www/webmin
cd webmin-1.9xx
sudo sh setup.sh /var/www/webmin

Follow the instructions in the install script (defaults will be fine) and then when its installed, run a browser and go to

https://<IP address>:10000/

From the webmin menu, you should find an add module option which will allow you to download the SAMBA server management and any other module you want.

I cant take credit for this - I found all the info on https://putokaz.wordpress.com/2015/02/25/installing-minimal-webmin-on-raspbian/

Are there any caveats to this? I'm booting my pogo from a 4Gb SD card and webmin seems to just grind everything to a halt almost.

I had to set ssl=0 in the /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf file before it would even start. When it does start it's really slow, I can count the seconds between command and response to ssh commands while it's running. If I issue a top command it doesn't look that bad though.

Rhodess,

When you run any app that logs constantly to a slow disk such as the SD card it will grind slowly. You can move the logging to /tmp, like this:

mkdir -p /tmp/var/log
cp -aR /var/log/* /tmp/var/log/
mount -o bind /tmp/var/log /var/log

The drawback is whenever the system crashes, you cannot see the last log of what's going on. However, that's a good compromise.

You can also find out if the webmin log is on a different folder (not in /var/log) then move that log to /tmp, too.

When you have log files on /tmp, you also need to use logrotate to compress the log files periodically to avoid /tmp growing when something goes wrong and eating up all RAM (/tmp is in RAM).

bodhi's corner (buy bodhi a beer)

Thanks bodhi,

I created a swapfile on another USB using this post Swapfile on disk, so I may try and log to that later, in the meantime I will create in /tmp as per your suggestion

WOW!

What a difference that makes, It's running great now.

I imaged my SD card to a USB and then extended the partition also. Here's my dmesg, it looks like I was running out of memory

Thanks again

Rhodess,

Do you have the swap file in fstab?

cat /etc/fstab

Quote

/swapfile1 swap swap defaults 0 0

And what is your sysctrl vm memory?

cat /etc/sysctl.conf | grep vm

or

cat /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf | grep vm

Quote

vm.min_free_kbytes = 16384

Note that for box with little RAM like this Pogo V4 (128MB), the vm.min_free_kbytes should be 16384

I didn't have the swap in /etc/fstab, so I just added it (and mounted the USB that it sits on):

root@debian:/# echo "/media/data/swapfile.img none swap sw,nofail 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
root@debian:/# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
LABEL=rootfs    /               ext3    noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
tmpfs          /tmp            tmpfs   defaults          0       0
LABEL=data /media/data ext3 defaults 0 0
/media/data/swapfile.img none swap sw,nofail 0 0

I get no response to the first command:

root@debian:/# cat /etc/sysctl.conf | grep vm
root@debian:/# cat /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf | grep vm
cat: /etc/sysctl.d/local.conf: No such file or directory

I also tried:

cat /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf | grep vm
root@debian:/etc/sysctl.d#

but got no response

Re your comment about logging, I had to add another line for the webmin, but they don't survive a reboot, isn't that what the -p is supposed to do?

mkdir -p /tmp/var/log
cp -aR /var/log/* /tmp/var/log
mount -o bind /tmp/var/log /var/log
 cp /var/webmin/miniserv.log /tmp/var/log/
mount -o bind /tmp/var/log/miniserv.log /var/webmin/miniserv.log
