Apps by NAStools
Hi, everyone!
I've made some updates to a few already available apps, and released some new ones.
See below for download links (click the Version link). amd64 for Intel units, armel for M...

Glad I could be of service. :smileyvery-happy:
jhagg wrote:Since you mentioned you take app requests, I have two that I think would be very much usefull to the community here:
1. Microsoft OneDrive Sync
There aren't many client options for OneDrive on Linux. I see xybu/onedrive-d (which mentions "This repository is still under active development and the program is not yet usable.") and skilion/onedrive. I'll look into it.

Just my opinion, but a firewall/router would be a better device to take care of this. If your router supports loading of OpenWRT/DD-WRT/Tomato custom firmware it should be rather easy for it to bring up the VPN, then force your outgoing NAS traffic through the VPN.

Looks like RNXtras has a newer build of SABnzbd available (v1.0.2 vs v0.7.13 on the app site).
Sonarr has some tips for manual installation (as you mentioned), but an app would be nice. I'll keep it in mind.
shoemoney wrote:Actually out of my own curiousity could all of the apps in the deb repository work?
ReadyNAS apps are really just Debian packages that follow the ReadyNAS SDK. If you're comfortable with CLI there's a whole world of Debian packages available to you.

shoemoney wrote:yes please put a paypal donate link up. For myself and others these updates are priceless.
I'm flattered :smileyembarrassed:. I'm just doing this for the fun of it. If there's money burning a hole in your pocket consider donating to the upstream projects who really make all this possible. The Electronic Frontier Foundation could use some help as well. :smileyvery-happy:
Hey NAStools,
Thanks for the detailed reply. I understand about OneDrive add-on, please keep your eye on it I am certain it would be a very popular add-on if the Git becomes useable.
As for this:

In my situation, in a shared home, I really need to VPN the ReadyNAS only not the main connection. That is why a VPN app that works with PIA would be ideal. I know there is a VPN that super pousin made, but I dont think it is configurable for PIA. I am not that well verse in VPN, so was really hoping you could make an app that you turn on and off in the app launcher when you want ReadyNAS hidden behind VPN or not, depending on if you want the additional security and willing to give up some speeds at times, and other times you can run it straight. Make sense?
As I mentioned I am willing to donate to you or your casue if you can whip something like this up, I have no clue how to do it. I saw an article posted where there was a permanent solution, but I really want an app that turns it on and off. Here was the articel: Configure ReadyNAS to use PIA
Please let me know your thoughts, I am quite certain others would find this add-on VERY useful, I have seen many people searching for this type of functionality in my own quest for it.
Thanks!!
