Sounds great, but I did have one thought. Is the installation of Apps limited to using the Admin page only? In short, I would have to upload it via that page to run the app? The problem of course is not all apps are going to be design to run from that page and this may be one of those cases.
Beisser answered your original issue on another thread - you are logging in as "admin" instead of "root".
"apps" are installed/removed from the apps page by definition. An app which installed mySQL would be uploaded/installed from the apps page, and would be removable.
You can of course install stuff directly from ssh if you wish. You want to be very careful not to use up too much space in the OS partition.

Yup, I saw his response and will give it try. The MySQL has a pre-package you can install and use to add/remove their database so I'm not too concern about having a pretty GUI to show what's installed and needing to remove it. That said, how do I check the OS partition size and ensure there's enough room before moving forward. I presume based on your response that all apps are installed on the OS partition by default?
apps normally install to /apps which is a mount from the data partition (/data/.apps)
If you install stuff manually, then its the install script that determines where it goes.
df // -h
will give you some idea of how full the OS partition is. Though business NAS like the 626X are using BTRFS as the OS file system - you can also use
btrfs filesystem show //
