Hey there everyone. I've said it before and I'll say it again - wow, the Pogoplug is a great little box. Having browsed around these forums I saw some things in common - users want to customize their Pogoplug! Many users "would buy one right away if it had ____". More times than not, the requests could easily be done with what OpenPogo has to offer. After spending a few days pulling bits and pieces together, I'm happy to say that...

OpenPogo.com has been launched!

OpenPogo is a new guide site, not affiliated with Cloud Engines or Pogoplugged.com (this forum), but is a third-party, unofficial extensions page. It's free to use,but is NOT supported by Cloud Engines, Inc., the makers of the Pogoplug. The use of the guides probably will void your warranty

However, here's a quick run down of what you can get right now:

- Lighttp web server, Apache web server

- Nano, many other text editors

- VSFTPd, ProFTPd, and other FTP servers

- Samba ("ipkg install samba2")

- and much, much more...

So take a peek at: http://openpogo.com

Here's our Twitter! Follow us for updates to guides or new software: http://twitter.com/openpogo

Here's a listing of packages: http://openpogo.com/repo/ (use "ipkg install nameofpackage" after running Base installation).

Hi,

Looking at your package repository, it is exactly from NSLU2 repository:

http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable

Where I got the link originally from http://seongbae.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-install-samba-on-pogoplug.html

If you want to copy the repo and put your script, please put a reference to:

http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Packages

How would you use this?

June 21, 2009 11:00 PM

Done. Yes it's from NSLU2 because I pulled it 2 days ago, but I'll change around packages a bit (like directories and such little things) to better suit the Pogoplug. I've added reference in the README file in the repo and on the listing page. I didn't mean to take credit, because wow, that's a lot of work. Sorry about not giving credit right away.

Not a problem... 

The reason why I want to mention that is because I'm already using the NSLU2 repo, and if you want to develop another one, it would be best to separate it so In the future, I can choose between say lighttpd from the NSLU2 or your repo.

BTW, mysql is really slow on the 450Mb flash, and for all intent and purposes don't use it. My lighttpd/PHP/ecaccelarator, squid and mysql is running very well on a the USB 1Tb SATA Harddrive.

Hello all,

Was wondering how set up a bittorrent on the pogoplug. I'm have no experience since only familiar with windows environment.

I saw rtorrent in the package list. Can I install that after I install the openplug base package? Since rtorrent is command line, do you have recommendations on a web interface?

thanks in advance and sorry for the newbie questions!

regards!

How about Transmission?

June 23, 2009 7:30 PM updated: June 24, 2009 9:04 AM

Hey ls66688, welcome to Pogoplugged and thanks for using OpenPogo - thanks for the request as well. What you're looking for is Transmission, and I'll write up a guide right now. Pretty simple.

Edited: Go here for the guide: http://tr.im/pAoa

June 24, 2009 9:04 AM

Samba guide is now up, I know someone asked for it on these forums. Also ls666888, changed that guide a little (Transmission): go here: http://tr.im/pAoa

Now working on FTP.

Wow, thanks Crimsonredmk :)

That was super quick! Thanks for the help!!!

[EDITED 2009-08-26: fix mistake noticed by 'bl'. :)]

I used your OpenPogo setup and was able to install and run Java:

INSTALL
ipkg install classpath jikes jamvm

COMPILE
jikes -bootclasspath /opt/share/classpath/glibj.zip {your java files}

RUN
jamvm -cp . {your main class name}



I'm new to jikes and jamvm, but it is cool to see this work for a simple hello world test program. I probably did something unnecessary or wrong above so please correct me.

I thought I read the CPU has some hardware java support (Jazelle?) and though I know nothing about how jamvm works I doubt it knows how to make use of that.

So, if anyone knows how to enable hardware assisted JVM execution please post that too!

I got the java compiler and jvm running as described above but with one small variation. In the step labeled

Core said: RUN jamvm -cp . {your main class file}
I think {your main class file} should really be {your main class name}.  For example if you have hello.java which contains a class named hello, and you compile into hello.class you should run jamvm -cp. hello not jamvm -cp . hello.class.  No doubt it's a minor point, but I thought I would add it for clarity.

Thanks.  Good catch!  I edited the post.

OpenPogo has been discontinued months ago. Please use Plugbox Linux. http://plugapps.com/ - note how this topic is from 2009. ;)
