Install to running duplicacy

[ccdanieldb]

I am not sure if this is the right place but please help, I can't figure this out. How do I get from

pkg install wget
pkg install go
go get -u github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/...
go build -v /root/go/src/github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/duplicacy/duplicacy_main.go
chmod +x /root/go/bin/duplicacy

To running duplicacy.

I am running this on a FreenNAS ver-11.1-U5 jail.

----edit----

Ok got it running by downloading the prebuilt exe. Here are the steps.

pkg install wget Needed to download a file on my system. You may have it installed already.
pkg install go. Not sure if I needed it but I got it anyway.
mkdir /root/go/
mkdir /root/go/bin/
cd /root/go/bin/
wget https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/releases/download/v2.1.0/duplicacy_freebsd_x64_2.1.0
mv duplicacy_freebsd_x64_2.1.0 duplicacy Changes name to duplicacy. The .0 at the end of the original file was preventing it from running not sure why.
chmod +x duplicacy Makes the file executable.
./duplicacy Runs the file in this directory.
/root/go/bin/duplicacy Runs the file in any other directory.

If you try to run /root/go/bin/duplicacy now, what happens?

Also note: the duplicacy version on github is the non-gui one!

[ccdanieldb]

LOL. I am not sure why this is happing but please see for your self. I must have been misspelling it before. I am sure I also tried ./duplicacy and also sure it did not work several hours ago.
/root/go/bin/duplicacy
is working now.

To run an executable from the current directory, you need to use ./duplicacy
duplicacy by itself will look in all the folders listed in $PATH to find the executable in question
/duplicacy will try to run an duplicacy executable from the / (root) directory.

aaah, the old windows vs linux name lookup problem. this bugs me as well when i use a linux machine.

[ccdanieldb]

I am still having some trouble. It looks like duplicacy can't see the directory I am executing it in. Please see below. Again this is in a freenas jail. I have given the jail read/wright permissions to files I am trying to backup.

root@duplicacy:/mnt/Stuff # duplicacy init -e Stuff sftp://Daniel@10.0.1.64:/mnt/RaidZ3/Stuff duplicacy: Command not found. root@duplicacy:/mnt/Stuff # /duplicacy init -e Stuff sftp://Daniel@10.0.1.64:/mnt/RaidZ3/Stuff /duplicacy: Permission denied. root@duplicacy:/mnt/Stuff # ./duplicacy init -e Stuff sftp://Daniel@10.0.1.64:/mnt/RaidZ3/Stuff ./duplicacy: Not a directory. root@duplicacy:/mnt/Stuff # /root/go/bin/duplicacy init -e Stuff sftp://Daniel@10.0.1.64:/mnt/RaidZ3/Stuff Failed to retrieve the current working directory: stat .: not a directory root@duplicacy:/mnt/Stuff #

[TheBestPessimist]

ok, so let's start with this:

1. where is the duplicacy executable file located?
   • is it in /root/go/bin/? i will continue my example with this path, for now.
   • you should find this out
2. assuming /root/go/bin/duplicacy is the correct duplicacy executable (full path to duplicacy), then
3. you are trying to init a new repo in /mnt/Stuff
   • this should be the command:
     - cd /mnt/Stuff
     - /root/go/bin/duplicacy init -e Stuff sftp://Daniel@10.0.1.64:/mnt/RaidZ3/Stuff

You should see from my example that i am using the full path to duplicacy. This is needed because you are in the folder /mnt/Stuff (windows equivalent: c:/mnt/Stuff) which does not contains the duplicacy executable.
The duplicacy executable has the full path (repeat: in my example) /root/go/bin/duplicacy (windows equivalent: c:/root/go/bin/duplicacy.exe -- note that on windows you would have .exe but on linux you dont always need it).

Rule of thumb for your case: when you do any duplicacy commands, you should always use the full path for duplicacy: /root/go/bin/duplicacy.

[ccdanieldb]

1. You are correct the exe is in /root/go/bin/
2. Also correct I am trying to backup files/folders at /mnt/Stuff
3. When I call the exe from /root/go/bin/duplicacy in the folder /mnt/Stuff using the below
   /root/go/bin/duplicacy init -e Stuff sftp://Daniel@10.0.1.64:/mnt/RaidZ3/Stuff

I get this error.
Failed to retrieve the current working directory: stat .: not a directory

I am not sure if the error is coming from a path on this computer (freenas1) or the remote computer (freenas2).

[TheBestPessimist]

i have the feeling it's from freenas1, but i am not sure.
what does ls -l give you?

Also, try to set as storage destination a folder where you have write access on this nas first. Something like: /root/go/bin/duplicacy init -e Stuff /tmp/duplicacyTestStorage/ and see what happens. (create folders as needed respectively)

[ccdanieldb]

#($. The jail dropped the share.
ls -l returns
..: Not a directory.

[ccdanieldb]

Thanks for all your help. It looks like it is working for now. Maybe I should move it out of the jail for stability.

[fracai]

Moving out of the jail should be fine. As a bonus, you wouldn't have to mount your storage in the jail and could reference the files in their natural structure.
There also shouldn't be any need to compile the binary yourself. The FreeBSD build works just fine for me in FreeNAS. Are you compiling to get unreleased features or a custom build?

[ccdanieldb]

The FreeBSD build works just fine for me in FreeNAS. Are you compiling to get unreleased features or a custom build?

No. Just following the instructions from the QuickStart page. Also I have an other problem. I get the below sftp error after giving the password to the client.

root@duplicacy:/mnt/Stuff # /root/go/bin/duplicacy init -e Stuff sftp://Daniel@10.0.1.64//mnt/RaidZ3/Stuff/

[TheBestPessimist]

this looks like an error on the other side. Check that you have the folders already created on the destination 10.0.1.64//mnt/RaidZ3/Stuff/.

also, you can run duplicacy with -d to show debug info -- maybe you'll get a hint from there what the problem is.

[ccdanieldb]

Looks like it failed to read the ssh key. I did not upload one. I am logging in with password for now. Any idea what it means.

[ccdanieldb]

How did I install this if I start with?
wget https://github.com/gilbertchen/duplicacy/releases/download/v2.1.0/duplicacy_freebsd_x64_2.1.0

[TheBestPessimist]

no need to install. just run it like any other executable file. G O M A G I C

[fracai]

You probably need to make it executable with:
chmod +x duplicacy_freebsd_x64_2.1.0

And it would probably be a good idea to rename it to something simpler:
mv duplicacy_freebsd_x64_2.1.0 duplicacy

[ccdanieldb]

Dose it need to be in the /root/go/bin/ directory?

[ccdanieldb]

Thanks guys for all your help. It seems to be running now. I have an other issue that I think I should open a new ticket for.
