I just installed Borg onto debian-chroot and no problems compiling/installing. I am only having problems mounting volumes as posted in previous issue.

[ghost]

True, that's possible. But I think more people could use Borg if it was possible to install as a package.

The past months Borg Backup has grown to one of the best dedup backup programs I've know, and would love a 'native' solution.

@yuroller I'm very interested in this package. I have a DS218play and would like to help. Would you please list all open tasks here?

[yuroller]

If you are able to build packages for you ds unit, borgbackup should build and (hopefully) run correctly. Some time ago I successfully built borgbackup for all supported architectures by spksrc project, but I was able to test just on my ds212+ 6.0.2. You can find build instructions on wiki. Borgbackup depends on python3 packages, so you need both. Ask if you need help.

[ymartin59]

Do not bother to build it yourself. I am publishing that package

[noplanman]

@yuroller Have you published your builds somewhere? Building with docker takes foreeeever... @ymartin59 Are you publishing others too? Where are they listed?

[noplanman]

:tada: Looks like Borg is now officially on the repo, great!

But it still needs a manual build/install of Python3, as the version on the repo is outdated. Will that be updated soon as well?

@ymartin59 Is there a way to contribute builds to the project?

[ymartin59]

@noplanman What is your DSM architecture?

[noplanman]

@ymartin59 qoriq and armada370 are the ones I have.

I've built Python3 for both of them and installed Borg successfully, so all good :smiley:

[noplanman]

@ymartin59 I just noticed that the Python3 package on the SynoCommunity packages page is at 3.5.2-5, but the constraint for Borg is set at 3.5.2-6. As I still only see 3.4.1-4 in my DSM package center, I can't test to see if it works.

Also, I'd like to point to this comment, regarding the Python3 version constraint: https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/issues/719#issuecomment-383418808

@ymartin59 many thanks for creating these borg dsm packages, I have been trying to get borg going for some time on my dsm's without much success, so thanks!

Hoping the python version gets bumped at some stage to give them at try :grinning:

[ymartin59]

I have published fixes with dependency to Python 3. Should be better.

[noplanman]

Awesome, thanks @ymartin59 :smiley:

So as soon as all Python3 builds are available on the SynoCommunity repo, this can probably be closed off here.

[ymartin59]

From my point of view, all builds are already available... new borg package version can run with previous Python 3 revision.

[noplanman]

I still only see 3.4.1-4 in both my DS package centers.

They also aren't listed as available yet on the site, but I obviously don't know how that gets updated / rolled out (armada370 and qoriq): https://synocommunity.com/package/python3

Just using my own builds for now.

[mannp]

@noplanman seems its v3.5.2-6 now :grinning:

[noplanman]

@mannp Yes! Not for all architectures yet though, but probably very soon :innocent:

@ymartin59 On a side note: It would be great if the spk builds could be downloaded directly from the SynoCommunity site. That way, it would be easily possible to install them via command line, which doesn't work at the moment (or I haven't figured it out yet).

[mannp]

@noplanman yes I checked here -> https://synocommunity.com/package/python3 but you are right, my qoriq is still on the previous version.

As you say, I'm sure it'll arrive soon :)

[ymartin59]

@mannp please update borgbackup (1.1.5-2) from Package Center, it should run with previous python3 version (3.5.2-5) you already have available for qoriq

[mannp]

@ymartin59 ok I see, but I only have versions 3.4.1-4 from synocommunity and 3.5.1-0108 from synology available.

Edit: So I tried with 3.5.1 and it complains, so perhaps the versions have not arrived on the qoriq yet? (plus 88f6282)

Python3 is currently built for these arch's: rtd1296 apollolake avoton braswell broadwell broadwellnk bromolow cedarview denverton grantley kvmx64 x86 x86_64

Because this package bundles borgmatic this may be the right place to ask: might someone bother to update bundled borgmatic from version 1.0.3 to latest (1.1.15).

I was able to successfully build borgbackup_rtd1296-6.1_1.1.5-2.spk with Docker, so bumping borgmatic seems uncomplicated:
