ReadyNAS OS6 Apps / Add-ons For Current Hardware/Firmware
I could really use an app that is similar to the old (2017) Linux-Dash app that used to be, and is no longer, available for ReadyNAS. OS6. See screenshot attached. I need a way to see process usag...

It's not an app I use. Looking at the github, it doesn't seem to use apt-get. https://github.com/afaqurk/linux-dash#readme
You'd want to be careful with the install instructions, as you don't want to over-fill the NAS OS partition. Plus git isn't installed by default on the NAS.
The simplest answer is to reinstall the old version, downloading from Sandshark's link.
Thanks very much for your reply.
Linux-Dash is not shown in the apps listing in the ReadyNAS OS6 UI on the in-house hardware; RN526, RN312, RN102.
(see attached screenshot)
From that I presume there may be some limitation/issue for that app in the current and legacy hardware/firmware.
BTW, the version of Linux-Dash available for ReadyNAS on that link is 0.5.1 -- on Github it is v2.0.
Also notice that there are so few apps compared to alt vendors.

It shows up on that screen for me (RN526x) - between Limesurvey and Logitech Media Server.
That particular page only shows the available apps that are not installed on your system. Is Linux-Dash showing up on the "Installed apps page"? If not, did you try to install it at some point.
Sandshark's link is also "official", and you can download the app, and manually install it from the apps page.

It's up to the app developer to keep it up to date - and Slobberbone chose not to do that. It might be possible to update it it via ssh using apt-get.

True - that is what it is. IMO Netgear didn't provide enough incentives for app developers.

I understand about install issues and agree about lack of dev support by Netgear.
