General NAS-Central Forums

You're welcome.

And a big thank you for updating the Syncthing package! I tried it myself a couple of days ago but failed miserably cheers!

Quick question whether you can fix the script about FFP USB (firmware tweaks). I mean that if I connect the USB drive local (eg. ssd 24GB the USB adapter) can not move packages, USB drive is not detected, and it does not matter whether it is formatted as FAT32 or NTFS.

Hello!

I have some problem to install MetaRepository to my NAS. I factory reset all my settings and i want to reinstall the MetaRepository in order to install ffp 0.7 .

I watched all the steps for the first page. I put on the \\zyxel-nas\admin\zy-pkgs the web_prefix file only with this line

http://downloads.zyxel.nas-central.org/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/

After that I press the "Retrieve List From Internet", the MetaRepository does't display . I restart my NAS and i try again .Does't work. Do you have other solutions to install MetaRepository ? I have firmware 4.81, installed on my NAS.

Later post:
I install the ffp 0.7 on a stick. I made some checks and figure that i have some old files in this location:



Why i have this files in the usr folder ? I factory reset all the data.

Did you create the web_prefix file yourself, or did you download it? The package manager is a bit picky on line endings.
Further, does the NAS has internet access? Can you install packages from the ZyXEL repo? Can you ping downloads.zyxel.nas-central.org from the NAS?
A factory reset doesn't touch the files on disk. The previously installed packages are still there, only the NAS has 'forgotten' they are there, and won't start/use them.

Hello Mijzelf!

Thank you for your quick respons

Yes I have internet connection In try to download the web_prefix to the second hdd. Apparently the main admin folder is on the sencond HDD .


I press again the refresh button and It seems like the MetaRepositosy package has appeared .

I successfully install the MetaRepositosy and ffp 0.7v004 .
Now i have another problem, I restart my NAS and the sshd.sh don't start automatically
I have granted full rights to sshd.sh and nothing.


Do you know why ? Every time i restart or shutdown the NAS a have to manually start sshd.sh,

Have a look in the FFP bootlog. You can find it in /i-data/md0/admin/zy-pkgs/ffp/ (or in \\<NAS>\admin\zy-pkgs\ffp\)

Finally i successfully install properly ssh. I delete all the files/folder from /i-data/md0/admin/zy-pkgs/ and i Reinstall ffp.
Thanks Mijzelf for your support

NAS326 went on sale for $80 this week, so I snapped one up. Trying to get more linux-like experience on the NAS so I can run let's encrypt from the command line.

This is a NAS326 with firmware 5.21

Followed instructions at the top of this post. I downloaded the web_prefix to install MetaRespository. I installed RandomTools and then tried to install FFP a few times. Every time FFP is enabled, it causes a spinning wheel that never goes way, no matter how long I wait. (See image below) So far the only solution is to pull my disks and format them so the NAS thinks they're new. Fortunately I'm only just setting this up for the first time, so no data loss.

Does anyone know how I can enable FFP in a way that it doesn't freeze the control panel? The file shares still work and I can SSH in, but anytime I load the interface I get that spinning wheel.

...Alternately, if someone could please tell me how to disable FFP from SSH so I don't have to pull the drives and format them just to get into my interface again, that would be great.

Thank you!

Hi,

That's a known bug, but unfortunately we don't know what part of FFp cause that... So You have to disable the package each time, when You want to do sg on the webinterface. Or install FFp onto an USB stick/use Entware-ng instead of FFp. The decision is Yours!

Use the to completely disable start of the FFp package. But bear in mind, the changes only affects, when You do a reboot (for example with the reboot command).
