V4 Synology NAS

[mcrossley]

With my DS218, DSM 7.2.1, I see .NET 8 runtime under the community packages - I haven't tried to run Cumulus though.

[Box]

just wondering if my NAS is incompatible

Just thought I'd check and it is available for my 918+, so it looks like its a 214Play issue

Start again!!

Thanks

Doing a .net query i get the php packages but no .net from the community packages

Ok here goes!! This is what I did.
First and this is a major point I am using DSM 7.2.1. I am not sure if the.NET 8 install is available on DSM 6.
First I created a shared directory on my raid volume called cumulusmx
I then downloaded CMX4 to my Windows Pc, unzipped it and copied the entire contents to my the cumulusmx directory on the NAS.
I then copied my V3 Cumulus.ini and strings.ini to the NAS cumulusmx Directory.
I then copied my V3 /data and /Reports folders to the NAS cumulusmx Directory.
I then renamed the /data folder in the CumulusMX directory to /datav3.
I then installed the .NET 8 runtime from the Community package source (if you do not have this source in your Package Center settings add it as http://packages.synocommunity.com/).
I then SSH'd into the NAS under my user and tested the .NET 8 install by using "dotnet –-info" at the command line.
This should give you something like this :
David@SynologyNAS:~$ dotnet --info

Host:
Version: 8.0.4
Architecture: x64

Using the SSH command line I then navigated to cumulusmx directory in the volume1 directory i.e. David@SynologyNAS:/volume1/cumulusmx$ (this assumes you know how to use basic linux commands such as CD to get to a directory).
I then ran the data conversion by using the command line "dotnet MigrateData3to4.dll".
The data conversion should then run hopefully with no errors. Also note I did not have any Custom Daily log files, so no parameters were needed.
I then set up two tasks in Control Panel Task Scheduler, one to start CumulusMX and the other to stop it, so that it would automatically start and stop CumulusMX i.e. on a restart or DSM upgrade. So to do this click on Create and choose Triggered Task > User-defined script.

The “CulmulusMX Start” task is setup to run under root on Boot-up with Task settings to Run Command

dotnet /volume1/cumulusmx/CumulusMX.dll

The “CulmulusMX Stop” task is setup to run under root on Shutdown with Task settings to Run Command

pkill -f "dotnet"

OK that should be all, so to start Version 4 for the first time go back to main page of the Task Scheduler, highlight “CumulusMX Start” and then click on Run in the top headings of Task Scheduler.

Updating to a new version I run the “CumulusMX Stop” task, delete the interface and runtimes directories, and then copy the new versions from the release. I then copy all the main CumulusMX files from “Acknowledgements,txt” to “Updates.txt” over the existing files and then start CumulusMx as above.

Any problems let me know.

Hello

Tinkering with my NAS, I followed your excellent instructions until the .Net8 runtime installation stage

I added synocommunity but the .Net8 runtime install is not appearing under the community tab

Quite a few other packages missing as well comparing with the synocommunity website, is it something I am doing? Seems to be a Package manager issue or permissions somewhere, I am running DSM 7.1.1 update 6 on my NAS 214 Play

Cheers

OK

.net8 install went fine, and so did the data conversion (after I realised the command line is case sensitive!)

Task scheduler settings were straightforward

I believe it is now running, CMX did a backup immediately but I cannot see the data textfile updating

I have looked in resource monitor but I dont know what process I am looking for

Seems like CMX runs for a couple of seconds then interrupts and stops

OK

I have the log file from task scheduler

I assume there is an SQLITE issue - I will look to see if I can find it, probably failed the copy paste between the two NAS!

I have a DS214Play with DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 5 => .NET - no version at all - is not to be found on the community.

Not surprising. After all, the model is 10 years old, and not eligible for DSM 7.2 and yet to be dropped out of all support sometime in near future when security patches for 7.1.1 end. A very good nas though, running one also myself.

Yes will have to get a new one some time...

Yes, I am just using it for simple RAID storage now having migrated to the 918+. It's been a good servant, bought second hand off eBay about four years ago

Found these install instructions on SynoCommunity just in case the settings have not been done.

Easy Install
Step 1
Skip this step if you are on DSM7 or later.

Log into your NAS as administrator and go to Main Menu → Package Center → Settings and set Trust Level to Synology Inc. and trusted publishers.

Step 2
In the Package Sources tab, click Add, type SynoCommunity as Name and https://packages.synocommunity.com/ as Location and then press OK to validate.

Step 3
Go back to the Package Center and enjoy SynoCommunity's packages in the Community tab.

Note it is a https which might give you different results although I do not see why.

[water01]

Note before this I had it running on Mono which is also available from SynoCommunity. There is a Topic for this somewhere on here.

[water01]

Found it viewtopic.php?t=18773.

This should work on your NAS.

Seems to be the age of my NAS, works fine on 918+

Just need to check the full CMX install was copied across correctly

[Box]

Copied everything across again

Seems to be an issue with a file called e_sqlite.so which is missing along wih another file called GLIBC_2.28

But I think these may be a part of the .net8 package?

There is a file called libe_sqlite.so in the CMX distribution

Way outside of my knowledge boundary here....!
