Installing Crashplan into Centos on Freenas

Installing Crashplan into Centos on Freenas
New Jail
Setup a virtual machine template jail

VNC
Some clients require vnc to have a password (e.g, Fedora’s). In phpVB,  display -> add password
Then vnc to IP:9000

Install CentOS 7 minimal named ‘centos'

Enable vbox to auto start. This didn not seem to work last time I rebooted.
In vbox jail, edit /etc/rc.conf and add
vboxnet_enable="YES"
vboxheadless_enable="YES"
vboxheadless_machines="centos"
vboxheadless_icinga_name="centos"
vboxheadless_icinga_user="vbox"
vboxheadless_icinga_stop="savestate"

Setup networking in centos
sudo chkconfig NetworkManager on
sudo chkconfig sshd on
sudo service sshd start
sudo service NetworkManager start
sudo /etc/init.d/network restart

in the sshd_config file confirm
X11Forwarding yes

Crashplan pre-reqs
sudo yum install grep sed cpio gzip coreutils

the non-headless java might be required. I am not sure, as installing it did not fix anything for me. If ui_error.log has SWT errors that the below steps dont’ fix, this *might* fix it.
sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

Install crashplan
curl https://download2.code42.com/installs/linux/install/CrashPlan/CrashPlan_4.3.0_Linux.tgz -o CrashPlan_4.3.0_Linux.tgz
tar -xzf CrashPlan_*_Linux.tgz
cd CrashPlan_
sudo ./install   [use default]

Setup X11 and gtk
sudo yum install xorg-x11-xauth xorg-x11-fonts-* xorg-x11-utils gtk2 Xvfb bzip2

Xvfb auto start:
vim /etc/init.d/xvfb
#!/bin/bash
   #chkconfig: 345 95 50
   #description: Starts xvfb on display 99
   if [ -z "$1" ]; then
   echo "`basename $0` {start|stop}"
       exit
   fi

   case "$1" in
   start)
       /usr/bin/Xvfb :1  1280x1024x24 +extension RANDR &
   ;;

   stop)
       killall Xvfb
   ;;
   esac

chmod +x xvfb
chkconfig xvfb on

bvox guest tools reqs
sudo yumkernel-devel gcc* epel-release cifs-utils
download centos7 guest tools, need this version because of centos7 support.
http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/4.3.14/

Mount in vbox
mkdir /media/cdrom
sudo mount /dev/sr0 /media/cdrom
cd /media/cdrom
run installer

if it fails to build, install the yum pkg the guest tools suggests, eg. The kernel-devel above grabbed the wrong version for me.
yum install kernel-devel-3.10.0-229.el7.x86_64

then share the folders via phpvbox ui, and access from within vbox
Guest/host share requires ‘other' r-x on the dir otherwise it fails!!!
In the vbox jail permissions are limited to other r-x so don’t have to add explicit permissions


enable -X on ssh in, and start crashplan via
CrashPlanDesktop

If it fails, UI errors from Crashplan here
cat /usr/local/crashplan/log/ui_error.log
