Mini nas dufs

Mini NAS server - dufs

This DUFS is a mini nas server (light weight), but it works pretty well in the house.
The following is the steps to set it up, no installation even needed, just copy these files.

Copy these files to the server

File structure:

# tree /opt/dufs/
/opt/dufs/
├── assets
│   ├── favicon.ico
│   ├── index.css
│   ├── index.html
│   └── index.js
├── bin
│   └── dufs
├── config.yaml
└── data

Add service file

nano -w /etc/init.d/dufs 

#!/sbin/openrc-run

description="NAS System"

name="dufs"
command="/opt/dufs/bin/dufs"

# disable this line to avoide authentication in house environment
#command_args=" -a 'admin:$6$/mWY1Jm47dW6UkQD$f6WNAMTdhIHqUII3prC11ucAJU1rWqmBDZ2LqpmbvB9Y2bOI2XOkPGnZGcaNA49zf0WpEFBNguXI5e2jvnwPR0@/:rw' /var/www/html/ -A --assets /opt/dufs/assets/"

command_args=" /var/www/html/ -A --assets /opt/dufs/assets/"
pidfile="/run/dufs.pid"
command_background=true

#directory="/opt/dufs/"
#output_log="/dev/null"
#error_log="/dev/null"

output_log="/var/log/dufs.log"
error_log="/var/log/dufs.log"

depend() {
    need net
}
chmod +x /etc/init.d/dufs

Add the service and start

rc-update add dufs default
rc-service dufs start

Verify it's up

# ss -tnlp|grep dufs
LISTEN 0      1024         0.0.0.0:5000      0.0.0.0:*    users:(("dufs",pid=7411,fd=9))
LISTEN 0      1024            [::]:5000         [::]:*    users:(("dufs",pid=7411,fd=10))
Ok, it is listening at port 5000, by default.

Look at the log file

# cat /var/log/dufs.log
Listening on:

Bring dufs manually

The following command can bring it up manually with user admin login (password is the common one):

pkill dufs
sleep 3
nohup /opt/dufs/bin/dufs -a 'admin:$6$/mWY1Jm47dW6UkQD$f6WNAMTdhIHqUII3prC11ucAJU1rWqmBDZ2LqpmbvB9Y2bOI2XOkPGnZGcaNA49zf0WpEFBNguXI5e2jvnwPR0@/:rw' /var/www/html/ -A --assets /opt/dufs/assets/ > /var/log/dufs.log 2>&1 &
