Raspberry Pi从零开始搭建低成本NAS(7)-Aria2远程下载

原文地址是:http://www.mkitby.com/2016/01/15/raspberry-pi-nas-remote-download-aria2/
对作者表示感谢,作者关于NAS的系列文章写的都很棒,可以一看

远程下载内容比较多,所以分为两篇文章,先介绍Aria2,再介绍迅雷。
Aria2是一个轻量级命令行下载工具,支持HTTP/HTTPS, FTP, SFTP, BitTorrent and Metalink下载,但是不支持ed2k,支持JSON-RPC和XML-RPC调用,可以远程控制。
1.先安装aria2
sudo apt-get install aria2 –y
2.创建 aria2 配置文件 “/home/pi/.aria2/aria2.conf” 和 “/home/pi/.aria2/aria2.session” 这个文件 (我是以 pi 账户启动 aria2 的),
mkdir /home/pi/.aria2
touch /home/pi/.aria2/aria2.session
vim /home/pi/.aria2/aria2.conf
配置文件内容如下。

3.运行 aria2, 测试配置是否有错误,如果没有提示任何错误信息,那就按Ctrl+C停止。
aria2c --conf-path=/home/pi/.aria2/aria2.conf
4.为 aria2 添加自启动服务
1) 新建 sudo vim /etc/init.d/aria2c 文件,输入以下内容

echo "Starting script aria2c "
if [ -z "$ARIA_PID" ]; then
$RUN --daemon=true --enable-rpc=true -D --conf-path=/home/pi/.aria2/aria2.conf
echo "Started"
else

echo "No process found for aria2c RPC"
fi
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/aria2c {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
2) 添加可执行权限
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/aria2c
3) 然后更新rc,添加自启动服务
sudo update-rc.d aria2c defaults
4) 最后重启aria2c服务
sudo service aria2c restart
5.安装web 前端yaaw或者webui-aria2来实现web管理
yaaw 和 webui-aria2 都是不错的,yaaw 界面简洁,wubui-aria2 功能强大,可以根据自己的喜好来选择。
1) 首先需要安装需要安装 nginx
sudo apt-get install nginx –y
2) 接下来我们来配置nginx,首先打开配置文件,/etc/nginx/nginx.conf ,按照下面的配置进行修改。

user www-data; #默认以www-data运行工作进程
worker_processes 1; #单工作进程足够了,就我自己访问
worker_connections 256; #一般支持100在线连接就达到raspberry pi的极限了
gzip on; #gzip开启取消前面的#让默认设置生效即可,可以加快网页访问速度
gzip_disable "msie6";
gzip_vary on;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_comp_level 6;
gzip_buffers 16 8k;
gzip_http_version 1.1;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/json application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/xml+rss text/javascript;
3) 配置站点属性
sudo vim /etc/nginx/sites-availiable/default
输入,
server {
listen 81; # 访问端口号
#listen [::]:80 default_server; # 一定要注释掉,ipv6
server_name pi.com;
root /var/www/html; #站点存储位置
4) 测试配置文件看有没有问题
sudo nginx -t
如果没有问题会显示
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
5) 创建目录,然后设置权限
sudo mkdir /var/www && sudo mkdir /var/www/html
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html
sudo chmod -R 0755 /var/www/html
6) 下载webui-aria2
sudo git clone https://github.com/ziahamza/webui-aria2.git /var/www/html/
7) 重新启动nginx服务
sudo service nginx restart
到这一步了,现在我们通过http://192.168.1.118:81/webui-aria2/ 来访问,如果提示链接到aria2 RPC server失败,重启aria2c服务,然后刷新网页即可。
6.Aria2定时下载功能
1) 首先创建定时下载脚本,sudo vim /home/pi/.aria2/aria2_auto.py,输入如下内容,

#!/usr/bin/env python
import urllib2, json, time
WEEKDAY = int(time.strftime('%w'))
HOUR = int(time.strftime('%H'))
jsonreq_pauseAll = json.dumps({'jsonrpc':'2.0', 'id':'qwer','method':'aria2.pauseAll'})
jsonreq_unpauseAll = json.dumps({'jsonrpc':'2.0', 'id':'qwer','method':'aria2.unpauseAll'})
if WEEKDAY in [1,2,3,4,5]:
if HOUR == 1:
urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc', jsonreq_unpauseAll)
if HOUR == 17:
urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc', jsonreq_pauseAll)
if WEEKDAY in [6,0]:
if HOUR == 2:
urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc', jsonreq_unpauseAll)
if HOUR == 9:
urllib2.urlopen('http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc', jsonreq_pauseAll)
上面代码的意思就是周一到周五1:00~17:00,周末两天2:00~9:00,开启全部下载任务,其他时间暂停全部下载任务。然后加入cron实现定时运行
sudo crontab -e
在文件末尾加入
0 * * * * /usr/bin/python2 /home/pi/.aria2/aria2_auto.py
表示每个小时运行一次脚本。
7.BT端口映射
上面BT监听TCP, UDP端口都为65298,需要在路由器里面设置端口映射,服务端口号填65298,IP地址填树莓派内网IP地址192.168.1.118。
8.外网访问webui-aria2
下面会考虑三种典型的网络环境,前提都是路由器WAN是公网IP。
第一种网络环境:
Raspberry Pi的本地网络供应商80, 8080端口没有被封,从外网能正常访问,这个最简单了,修改树莓派nginx站点属性配置,把端口改为80, 然后在路由器上设置端口映射,80端口映射到树莓派上,然后路由器绑定动态域名,这样通过动态域名就可以在外网直接访问Aria2。
第二种网络环境:
Raspberry Pi的本地网络供应商80, 8080端口被封,你所在其他网络能正常访问外网,修改树莓派nginx站点属性配置,把端口改为81(或者其他能访问的端口),同样在路由上设置端口映射,绑定动态域名。
第三种网络环境:
Raspberry Pi的本地网络供应商80, 8080端口被封,公司只开放80, 8080端口。那么如何在公司畅快的远程下载呢?下面介绍我是如何实现的:
1) 首先需要有一台VPS,通过搭建nginx反向代理服务来实现远程下载。
配置nginx
sudo vim /etc/nginx/nginx.conf

proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
proxy_ignore_client_abort on;
}
2) 创建反向代理配置文件
sudo vim /etc/nginx/conf.d/reverser-proxy.conf

server
{
listen 8080;
server_name xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; #VPS IP Address
location / {
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://xxxx.oicp.net:6800; # RPC web address, http://xxxx.oicp.net 为动态域名
}
}
server
{
listen 80;
server_name xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; #VPS IP Address
location / {
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://xxxx.oicp.net:81; #aria2 web gui
}
}
3) 路由器添加端口映射,81(webgui), 6800(rpc)端口。
4) 通过http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 访问aria2 web gui, aria2采用token验证,通过http://token:secret@ xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8080/jsonrpc访问RPC, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx为VPS IP地址。

这三种情况下都需要动态域名来绑定到路由器IP地址。关于动态域名,如果不清楚的,可以参考我后面的文章 Raspberry Pi从零开始搭建低成本NAS(9)-外网登录树莓派。里面会介绍动态域名,还会介绍不通过动态域名,如何在外网来访问树莓派。

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 12 Two Decisions

Jim Collins, the bestselling author of the management classics Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies and Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap … and Others Don’t, has a wonderful phrase to describe an essential characteristic of great leaders: deep restlessness. Collins applies the phrase to Steve, one of the two great leaders who inspire him the most (the other is Winston Churchill, the great English politician who was prime minister during most of World War II, from 1940 to 1945, and again from 1951 to 1955). Collins believes this restlessness is far more important and powerful than simple ambition or raw intelligence. It is the foundation of resilience, and self-motivation. It is fueled by curiosity, the ache to build something meaningful, and a sense of purpose to make the most of one’s entire life. 自己何其有幸,在不到30的年纪,就能感受到乔布斯的心境 “The things he was trying to do,” says Collins, “were always hard. Sometimes those things beat him up. But the response to fighti...

Steve Jobs at 44, By Michael Krantz, 1999

Differences and Similarities Between Apple and Pixar Apple turns out many products--a dozen a year; if you count all the minor ones, probably a hundred. Pixar is striving to turn out one a year. But the converse of that is that Pixar's products will still be used fifty years from now, whereas I don't think you'll be using any product Apple brings to market this year fifty years from now. Pixar is making art for the ages. Kids will be watching Toy Story in the future. And Apple is much more of a constant race to continually improve things and stay ahead of the competition.  His Role At Pixar At Pixar my job is to help build the studio and recruit people and help create a situation where they can do the best work of their lives. And to some degree it's the same at Apple. But at Pixar, I don't direct the movies, whereas at Apple probably, if I had to pick a role out of a film production, I'd be the director. So it...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 15 The Whole Widget

What the world did see was an effective and visionary leader at the height of his powers. These were complicated years for Apple, but Steve handled almost every challenge in exactly the manner he wanted. He had fallen into leadership at such a young age, but he was comfortable in that role now, and justifiably sure of his capacity to guide Apple’s tens of thousands of employees to the goals he set for them. During these years, he would ensure the company’s continued success in personal computers by engineering a deft switch to a new kind of microprocessor; ruthlessly and successfully managing some major transitions in his executive team; and optimizing and building upon the efficiency and ambition of the company’s product development “treadmill,” as Tim Cook describes it. This is also when he delivered what is likely to be remembered as the most notable product of his life, the iPhone, and then improved even that by pivoting once again into a strategy he personally had not wanted to pu...

Foobar2000 组件安装教程

 原作者 博客地址   汉化作者 Asion博客   关于foobar 2000的一些资源 前言 foobar2000 由于其软件架构特点以及开放的姿态,使得第三方很容易开发组件(component)来拓展它的功能。由于在官网下载的默认安装文件只带了少量几个默认的组件,满足不了使用的需求,例如:默认不带 ape,tta,tak 等音频文件格式的解码器,很多无损压缩格式音乐没法播放。所以自己下载安装组件是必备的基本技能。 foobar2000 的中文汉化版(Asion 汉化)为了方便使用,集成了无损压缩文件解码器以及一些其它有用的插件,安装时选上即可,不喜欢折腾的建议使用汉化版。 这里组件指的是 foobar2000 标准组件(*.dll 文件),而非 vst 插件等其它插件,姑且把组件分为两类: 官方组件: 英文版安装包自带,安装时可选择; 第三方组件:非官方自带的组件 除了 foo_input_std.dll 和 foo_ui_std.dll 这两个组件是必须的外,其它的所有组件都 非必需 的,可以随需要增删。第三方组件可以去 官网 、 官方论坛 或者 官方 wiki 去找,也可以去贴吧等地逛逛。 下载 还是要强调一下,这里说的是 foobar2000 component ,不是中文网上通常说的 vst 插件。 下载好的组件包一般是 xxx.zip 或 xxx.fb2k-component 格式的文件,也有用 7z 打包的。前两种都是 zip 压缩(只要把 fb2k-component 改成 zip 文件就变成了 zip: 包)。标准状况下压缩包里的内容结构应该是 xxx.zip yyy.dll README.txt (可能没有) LICENCE.txt (可能没有) (其它杂七杂八) 除少数外一般只有一个 xxx.dll 文件.一定要注意压缩包结构不能是: xxx.zip yy folder (文件夹) zzz.dll … 否则要解压缩,提取那个 dll 文件。 安装 方法一(推荐) 打开 foobar2000 的菜单 文件 > 首选项(file >preferences) 的 组件(components...

巴菲特致股东信-1976年

 笔记: 为什么选择轻资产行业:当竞争疯狂时,不会强迫加入降价大战 最终选择了费雪的思想,选择能理解的优秀企业,以合理的价格买入并长期拥有 翻译: 雪球:https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131440258 备份:https://archive.ph/XLK0S 原文: To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, After two dismal years, operating results in 1976 improved significantly. Last year we said the degree of progress in insurance underwriting would determine whether our gain in earnings would be "moderate" or "major." As it turned out, earnings exceeded even the high end of our expectations. In large part, this was due to the outstanding efforts of Phil Liesche's managerial group at National Indemnity Company. In dollar terms, operating earnings came to $16,073,000, or $16.47 per share. While this is a record figure, we consider return on shareholders' equity to be a much more significant yardstick of economic performance. Here our result was 17.3%, moderately above our long-term average and even further above the average o...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 11 Do Your Level Best

As a mass-market consumer electronics device, the iPod would eventually be sold, of course, all the usual places: Best Buy, Circuit City, big-box department stores, and even the computer retailers like CompUSA. Steve disdained all these outlets. His obsession with his products continued well after they’d been manufactured. The tacky, low-margin hustle of these chains ran completely against the minimalist aesthetic of his products and the clean exuberance of his marketing. There was only one place where he really enjoyed seeing his products sold to the public: his own Apple stores, which had debuted four months ahead of the iPod. 觉得那些喧嚣、嘈杂的零售渠道,配不上自己极美的产品 Going back as far as the debut of the Mac, Steve had always groused about the way Apple computers were sold in its resellers’ stores. The way his computers were displayed and sold represented the very worst of what could go wrong when things weren’t done his way. The salespeople, always interested in quick turnover, seemed to make litt...

产品随想 | 陪读《Make Something Wonderful:Steve Jobs in his own words》1976-1996

  There’s lots of ways to be, as a person. And some people express their deep appreciation in different ways. But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity is to make something wonderful and put it out there. And you never meet the people. You never shake their hands. You never hear their story or tell yours. But somehow, in the act of making something with a great deal of care and love, something’s transmitted there. And it’s a way of expressing to the rest of our species our deep appreciation. So we need to be true to who we are and remember what’s really important to us. ──Steve, 2007 Introduction by Laurene Powell Jobs Much of what’s in these pages reflects guiding themes of Steve’s life: his sense of the worlds that would emerge from marrying the arts and technology; his unbelievable rigor, which he imposed first and most strenuously on himself; his tenacity in pursuit of assembling and leading great teams; and perhaps, above all,...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 16 Blind Spots, Grudges, and Sharp Elbows

Steve could be pretty thin-skinned when someone prominent criticized the aesthetics of his products. He took great umbrage that Neil would, as Steve put it, “pop off in public like that without coming to talk to us about his technical concerns first.” From that point on he had rebuffed all of Neil’s attempts to smoke the peace pipe. 有趣 He had blind spots, grating behavioral habits, and a tendency to give in to emotional impulse that persisted his entire life. These characteristics are often used to make the case that Steve was an “asshole” or a “jerk,” or perhaps simply “binary”—that odd adjective often used to convey the sense that he was half asshole/half genius from birth to death. These aren’t useful, interesting, or enlightening descriptions. What’s more illuminating is to take a look at the specific ways in which Steve failed to do an effective job of tempering some of his weaknesses and antisocial traits, and to consider how, when, and why some of them continued to flare up even...
