SpiderOak for OS6
Hello All! I would love to see a SpiderOak addon be made available for the ReadyNAS. I spent considerable time assessing cloud back-up options and I landed on SpiderOak over Crashplan and Dropbox, namely: Dropbox is not encrypted and they will hand over data if lawfully requested in the US Crashplan uses Java and reading the config for it, seemed daunting SpiderOak has locally unecrypted, but cloud encrypted data. Lose your password = lose your data! Anyway, as a power user and not really experienced in Linux (last I used it was 1999 or so - ahhh RedHat) I spent most of yesterday trawling through the 'net to install it. I have been successful but it could be so much easier. SSH in install .deb file (installed as 'root' which is far from ideal - will need to change that in future) Setup machine from command line Install xorg to pass-through x11 via Putty SSH to Xming on windows desktop run SpiderOak and hope it fires up a window on the desktop Configure it shut it down via SSH create systemd scripts to install it as a service on boot If the configuration needs changing, root in, stop the service via systemctl and then run SpiderOak again via ssh x11 passthrough. Anyway, it works, and is happily uploading 500+gb up to the cloud. It would be fantastic if there was an addon which allowed for the configuration and monitoring of application via a web interface (like utorrent, or Dropboxmanager etc.) Here's hoping
Request: Twonky Server ARM
Hi SuperPoussin, Will it be possible to create an ARM build of Twonky Server for our RN102/104 user community? I have some source package links provided below. 1. http://www.twonkyforum.com/downloads/7.2.1/ 2. http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=5036 Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you, Fremske
Piwigo Upgrade?
Hi S-P, Piwigo has been updated to 2.7.4 with some good stuff, including security fixes. Your original port was 2.5.3. Please provide advice on how to upgrade without trashing the current database. The 'automatic' upgrade process offered by the Piwigo.org site is a bit risky. Can you please confirm that the manual upgrade, described here: http://piwigo.org/basics/upgrade_manual, should work with OS6, on my RN312. If not, is an OS6 packaged update required (from you, if possible)? Always grateful for your continued support.
Fan Control
Hi, I dont know if this has been requested, I cant find it anywhere. I was wondering if its possible to create a fan speed control gui app. I understand there is already an init.d script to change fan speeds but i was after a more user friendly version. im surprised its not built into the web admin ability to have fan profiles.. im thinking like quiet, normal and turbo profiles at the simplest? whats anyone else's thoughts?New version of NZBGet
There are a lot of features that have been added to NZBGet since version 11 (July 2013) which is installed via the Apps. Is it possible to upgrade the app yourself? I'm a rather linux novice, I follow directions fairly well though. I attempted this myself prior to posting but I was unable to compile the C++ on my ReadyNAS. Any insight or assistance would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!
Request for OS6: Bacula
There used to be a Bacula Add-on for the older ReadyNAS versions, but it doesn't appear to be available for OS6. Would it be better to install it directly as a Linux package? Or is there an add-on package somewhere? If not, can one be developed? What I'm trying to do is back up a ReadyNAS 314 running OS 6.2.x to an external drive attached to the eSATA port. Would another add-on or software be better for this? I'd like to be able to do a full backup once every few months with weekly differential backups (everything changed since the full). Thanks for your help, Stan
