Debian CLI

Hello,

 

I am new here, I just buy a ReadyNAS RN104 device.

 

I am so happy to see that it run Debian SO, so I have some questions about CLI:

1. For app installation: I see that there is a App menu in the web interface to install Transmission, could I install it by "apt-get install transmission-daemon"? I prefer to configure by command-line.

2. I see that there are some packages that could be update by "apt-get upgrade": bash clamav clamav-base clamav-daemon clamav-freshclam libclamav7 readynasos tzdata. Is it a good idea to upgrade from CLI.

3. Is there something you don't recommend to do from CLI?

 

I will appreciate your help.

 

Kind regards.

Model: RN104|ReadyNAS 100 Series 4- Bay

Netgear removed ClamAV from the RN100 series starting with 6.10.0 - because the platform doesn't have the resources to run it properly.   I suggest turning that service off.

You can, but keep in mind that the OS partition is only 4 GB.  Normally apps are installed to /apps - which is a mount point for the .apps folder on the data volume.

Don't do an apt-get upgrade.  That can break stuff.

 

In general, Netgear can/will deny support if they conclude that your use of SSH contributed to a problem.  https://kb.netgear.com/30068/ReadyNAS-OS-6-SSH-access-support-and-configuration-guides

Re: Debian CLI

Thanks!

 

I see there is apache2 installed, so I will try rtorrent and rutorrent.

 

I did upgrade from command-line. Hope nothing is broken. How could I restore the original firmware in case I break something?

 

Kind regards.

You'll need to do a factory reset (which also destroys the configuration and the data on the NAS).
