[How-to]Install Tonido on a x86 ReadyNAS device
I posted this over at the Tonido forums and I thought I'd post it here in case anyone was curious on how to do this. It seemed more appropriate to post here as opposed to th add-on section since it'...

For example the configuration file is created only after a first run
Hmm, I'll change the how-to above to reflect that. I tested out installing and uninstalling several times, but I somehow missed this. I think because I was verifying every step after doing it and that meant running the start script after install to make sure it installed correctly. I didn't think it was actually creating config files at startup, but that does make sense.
As for some of the other issues you're running into with making an official add on, this might help some if you haven't already found it http://www.tonido.com/support/Developer:Main or try messaging madhan at the Tonido forum. He's one of the dev's and he's really nice. They really want to see Tonido running on all kinds of devices so I'm sure he'd work with you.

I've been trying exactly this myself as I don't want to be accessing my NAS as root. It seems OK to copy the root setup to a users home directory and then that user start tonido - I get access to my home directory this way. But, no access to any of the apps and no permission to install them.
Edit: Fixed - changed the owner of the tonido app to my NAS user account. Now I full access to my NAS
I could add this to the first post if you want. I briefly messed installing as a user, but gave up when it wasn't working because I just wanted it running before I got fancy with it. So you installed as root, then moved everything that was in root's ~/tonido to the user home directory and then ran 'chown -R' on it? Seems easy enough. Does it still run at boot up without issue?
