Hi there-
I’m testing out Aurora, and having no success creating a repository on my NAS with smb. The volume is visible and can be accessed in Dolphin, but Vorta, Pika, and dejaDupe all fail to create a new repository. Flatpak problem that Flatseal can fix? One message to install something to automount a GVFS program?
Does this post belong on the bug tracker? Thanks!
Still struggling with this. DejaDup throws this message when trying to back up to a network server: “You must first install a gvfs backend that can connect to ‘smb’ network locations.”
tried dejaDup on a live usb of fedora 40, and dejaDup worked fine when selecting the smb folder as a local folder. Can’t seem to find a workaround to do ANY backup to a NAS on Aurora. Might be a deal breaker unfortunately. Hope someone can help, I’ve been all over the internet and not come up with a solution.
I layered the following:
rpm-ostree install gvfs-smb
rpm-ostree install gvfs-fuse
I also changed some permissions in flatseal for the dejadup app, and was able to succcessfully backup and restore my home directory, although I chose my home directory, the files being backed up or restored are listed as being contained under /var/home/
I don’t yet know if vorta or pika are working.
9/21/24:
DejaDup is working
Pika is working
Vorta is not working
(I know it’s too late but) try using rclone mount for your samba mounts. That’s what I’m doing because I found it more reliable and capable of reconnecting after network loss.
This way I didn’t need to layer anything and it just works. I’m also using Aurora.
Here’s my systemd service unit:
[Unit]
Description=Mount \\someserver\share
After=network-online.target
Wants=network-online.target
[Mount]
Type=rclone
What=someserver:share
Where=/var/home/user/mnt/someserver/share
Options=config=/var/home/user/.config/rclone/rclone.conf
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
Thanks for your suggestion. It’s never too late! I’m testing on an old laptop now, but will be applying what I learn to the Framework I have on order.
I’m not familiar with working with systemd, and wonder where these entries go?
Am I to edit a text file like I might for /etc/fstab entries?
Still reading the docs on Fedora sliverblue to get up to speed.
Would this be a user service file placed in /var/home/$USER/.config/systemd/user/?
Yes exactly. It’s a systemd mount file.
Hate to say it, but I can find no such directory in my install.
You have to create it.
Aha! Thanks. As an aside, is this functionality already present in the Bluefin version?
Yeah, both restic and rclone are on the image!
