Hi, everyone!
I've made some updates to a few already available apps, and released some new ones.

Hi, everyone! It's been a while and I've been busy! Just wanted to post and give some updates as to what I've been up to.
Logitech Media Server
Logitech didn't include armel libraries for Perl v5.20 that comes in ReadyNAS OS 6.6.0. Working on an updated package for the ARM units.
netdata
There's an update available from the Firehol team (v1.4.0). In progress.
ZoneMinder
Some of its dependencies aren't available in 6.6.0. I'm testing an updated package and should be able to post it tomorrow.
Now that 6.6.0 is out I've started working on this one. That should make kevcompton happy. :robothappy:
I needed something to control all the IoT stuff taking over my house, so why not run it on my NAS? Package is in the works.
I'm really digging this VPN solution. The Linux client is CLI only so I'm working on a web UI that interacts with the client's API, and packing it up nicely for ReadyNAS (of course).

NasTools, these are all great additions to the ReadyNAS app availability, things have been looking pretty bleak in that department, so thank you.
Any chance of getting us an NZBGet package for OS 6.6.0?

Looks like Mhynlo is working on this one.

I'll shoot you a PM as soon as I have something! :robothappy: Thanks!

Mhynlo started packaging NZBGet for 6.6.0 but has since gone dark on it or I wouldn't have bothered you with it, currently there is no solution in place.

ZeroTier does sound intriguing. If I'm reading their documentation right, it would allow access to a ReadyNAS, including backup jobs between locations, via the VPN but not route all traffic through it (unless that's your desire). Let me know if you need any testers, as I have one NAS I use for such things.
In the meantime, a guide to manually installing it would be appreciated. The CLI doesn't scare me, but it's unclear to me from only their site what I need to install to assure I have all dependancies.

I would also like the dedicated app compatible with ARM Readynas devicesStill working on the web frontend for it, but since there's interest I'll put out a CLI only package first.

I talked to Mhynlo, he's just putting the finishing touches on it. :robothappy:

Since the firmware has upgraded to 6.6.0 the zoneminder NT cannot install. Do you have upgrade package or the solution for this issue.

Hi, NasTools...
Since the firmware has upgraded to 6.6.0 the zoneminder NT cannot install. Do you have upgrade package or the solution for this issue.
Thank you
Obrigado...

Hi NASTools,
I've sent you several PM's regarding Emby but don't appear to have received anything back recently, can you please confirm receipt as I believe Emby is ready for others to enjoy?
Regards,
Kevin

Curious, why would you use Emby? Plex probably offers more and has a binary already available for OS6. Have you thought of using Plex?
- kevcomptonFeb 27, 2017Apprentice
I use Emby along with Kodi and the Kodi-Emby plugin that links the 2 together. I use Kodi on a pc connected to the tv, switching the pc on when I want something to watch that has been downloaded onto the ReadyNAS. Emby runs all the time on the ReadyNAS monitoring the download directory and gets all the images / metadata ready for when I next use Kodi. The Kodi Emby plugin only takes a few seconds to sync to Kodi and i'm ready to watch something. I've use XBMC/Kodi for years and am very happy with how it works so haven't ventured into anything else apart from Emby. I can stream/transcode from Emby if required and the web interface is nice too.
