Spksrc: Rutorrent and DSM6 compatibility

[iglooenergyreferral]

Hi,

I seem to be having these issues when seeting up rutorrent, can anyone help?

[27.03.2016 05:42:19] WebUI started.
[27.03.2016 05:42:22] rTorrent user must have read/execute access to the tmp directory. ruTorrent will not work. (/var/services/tmp/)
[27.03.2016 05:42:22] rss: Some functionality will be unavailable. Webserver user can't access external program (curl).
[27.03.2016 05:42:22] rutracker_check: Plugin will not work. Webserver user must have execute access to the rtorrent session directory (/usr/local/rutorrent/var/.session/).
[27.03.2016 05:42:23] Unpack plugin: rTorrent user can't access 'unzip' program.

Does WM6 in the title actually mean DSM6 by any chance?

[iglooenergyreferral]

Hi Dr Mean,

I wrote the article when I was quite tired, I meant DSM6 yes

_Model and arch of your NAS_. DS415Play - evansport x15

_DSM version_; 6.0-7321 Update 1 2016/04/14

_Provide log files if available:_ No log files available

_If the package doesn't start, try to start the package via the command line and provide the output:_"Starting ruTorrent ..." Checking status directly after generates: "ruTorrent is not running"

Have had some problems with SSH service not possible to start so I re-installed DSM today, installed Webstation and then directly tried to install ruTorrent from the Synocommunity package, after installation package will not run, is doing something for a couple of seconds and then stopped again. Everything else working as it should.

First try to start manually, I got an error "unknown user rutorrent" so I created a rutorrent user and when trying again I get message "Starting ruTorrent ..." but nothing happens..

Would really appreciate some assistance, not a complete n00b but pretty close :)

Hey

So I have been trying to track this issue as I would like to update my DS415+ to 6.0 but I don't want to do it unless this package will work. I thought I read somewhere the other day that the tool chains have been released, is this true? If so does that get us closer to a working package for DSM 6.0?

ruTorrent works on my DS415+ under DSM6.0

Hey guys, I'm on ds1815+ DSM 6.0.1.7393,

I installed rutorrent beta and webserver but i keep getting those errors.:

Please can you tell me what I do to fix it ?

thanks a million

Tried to install ruTorrent 3.7-8 Beta from SynoCommunity on my Synology DS216Play with DSM DSM 6.0.1-7393 Update 1 and it doesn't work. I'm getting the same error:

Tried to manually change permissions for this folders, but it doesn't take effect.

Have you planned to fix that? or is there something that we could do to make it works?

Thanks.

[dancingnzb]

[Dezzmondo]

I didn't get any fix yet. Waiting for dancingnzb solution :D

Hello, same problem on DS215+
DSM 6.0.2-8451 Update 2
Rtorrent starts but gives same errors :
07.11.2016 08:39:53] WebUI started.

Any fix for this?

Hi, had the same problem on RS816
Found a fix that is working for me.
Add this to your open_basedir in Webstation config:
/usr/local/rutorrent:/usr/bin
And restart Webstation, no more errors.

[backupking]

hi done all that all I get is error 403 on webpage any reason why I had to set sonar and jacket inside docker for them to work

this is the same on my
214+
or ds3615xs

thanks

One thing that should be mentioned somewhere is that Web Station has to be installed prior to ruTorrent. It makes a mess in /var/services/web.

I do have exec stat issues at the moment though, even with @slicepaperwords fix.

[A----]

OK, so a test.php in /volume1/web/rutorrent with:

<?php

system('stat --help');

works when displayed in a webpage or run as http.

Function ruTorrent uses is in php/util.php (findEXE(…)).

If you try:

<?php

require_once('php/util.php');

var_dump(findEXE('stat'));

No dice. If you debug that function, you can see that the PATH is actually empty. (you can also try to print php -i).
I think that this is because I'm using nginx/php-fpm. Conf files/paths are a clusterfuck. If you run sudo -u http php -i | grep -i -A20 env, you can see that PATH is correctly set in a terminal.

So, I dumped a phpinfo, checked all INI files, looked a bit around. I modify if not all, at least most files named *fpm*. Finally found that WebStation uses this file /usr/syno/etc/packages/WebStation/php56/fpm.conf for its FPM conf but wait! That couldn't be that simple noooo. This file is rewritten every time the Webstation service is restarted so some grep/find later, I edited /volume1/@appstore/WebStation/misc/php56_fpm.mustache because at least they use templates and bam:

1. edit this file
2. add env[PATH] = /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/syno/sbin:/usr/syno/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin to the www (global) FPM pool
3. restart your Webstation

Annnnnnd you do not have the warning about stat.

One thing that should be mentioned somewhere is that Web Station has to be installed prior to ruTorrent

That's a change since DSM6, when Synology started publishing WebStation as a separate package. Package Center will handle it if you add a spk/rutorrent/src/conf/PKG_DEPS file to the package, like this: https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/blob/master/spk/cops/src/conf/PKG_DEPS.
Feel free to open a PR to add it (although the other issues should be solved as well, before we can say the package is DSM6 compatible...)

Nice work otherwise, although I don't think we can package the changes to the .mustache file. Editing files like that have a habit of breaking whenever Synology decides to update the WebStation package. Maybe there's a supported way to add user-defined settings, similar to e.g. COPS?

[A----]

Yeah, mustache template will be ovewritten everytime Web Station is reinstalled.
There's no way to dump a file in a "fpm.d". At first I though that it used /usr/local/etc/php56/php-fpm.conf, hence including /usr/local/etc/php56/fpm.d/* but it does not and there's no include directive in the mustache template. I don't believe that there's a pretty way of doing this, but I might be wrong.

It has to be noted that there also is a php70 folder and template, if you choose it for a backend. I did not try, so I don't know if ruTorrent works with it, but that means two files to be modified.

There might be another approach that I haven't fully tried, by changing config $pathToExternal in /usr/local/rutorrent/share/rutorrent/conf/config.php. I believe might have their own path to config to be changed.

One last thing would be to patch php/util.php itself, since:

/usr/local/rutorrent/share/rutorrent$ grep -R 'getenv' .
./php/util.php: $path = explode(":", getenv('PATH'));

Another thing is that I'm pretty sure that the open_basedir is now doing more harm than good (https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/blob/master/spk/rutorrent/src/installer.sh#L106). I think that this file is not read by Web Station as I had to configure it for rutorrent to work.
Also: cannot access /etc/php/conf.d: No such file or directory
And: cannot access /usr/syno/etc/sites-enabled-user: No such file or directory ( https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/blob/master/spk/rutorrent/src/installer.sh#L76 )

I'll PR a PRK_DEPS.

[Dr-Bean]

Synology made significant changes to the whole WebStation/PHP/directory setup/file locations with the introduction of DSM6. So yes, I would expect multiple changes are necessary to get the package to work on DSM6, but keep in mind that we don't want to break DSM5 (or earlier) support either.
I think COPS contains most of the path changes currently. Take a look at the recent changes to the installer and dsm-control files.

[A----]

I don't think cops has the right paths.
Custom open_basedir confs are mustachized and placed there:

$ realpath /usr/syno/etc/packages/WebStation/php56/conf.d/user_settings.ini
/usr/syno/etc/packages/WebStation/php56/conf.d/user_settings.ini

I don't have the phpinfo at the moment, so I can't confirm.

[Dr-Bean]

See Synology's developers guide, paths are mentioned in there. Although the release of php7 may have changed things again, I haven't checked yet. For the record, phpMyAdmin does the same thing.

[jpmurray]

Checking here, has anyone made any development?

On a DS214Play here, curently running DSM 6.1.3-15152 Update 8. Just did a fresh install of ruTorrent for the first time, and webgui works perfectly fine, although its log tab shows:

[14.11.2017 09:24:29] WebUI started.
[14.11.2017 09:24:29] No connection to rTorrent. Check if it is really running. Check $scgi_port and $scgi_host settings in config.php and scgi_port in rTorrent configuration file.

In the package center, ruTorrent is shown as stopped and its logs are empty.

[MichiDe]

Same issue on a DS1513+ it worked perfect and now just stopped no updates applied

[Safihre]

I worked on DSM6 compatibility but got stuck, I did the basic work but need some help to figure out the right paths to config files etc. If you want, you can help me here: #3175.
