Im on clean debian. No omv. I have transmission, nfs, openvpn, samba, and webmin installed. So how would i get a web filemanager working? Mount sda4 to the www folder? I tried mounting sda4 to owncloud and it didn’t work. Would be great if it did.

Hello Fox_exe, I installed DSM, you instructions were very clear and easy to follow, thanks a lot! One note- I installed the “recovery from HDD” method, and found that there were no need to mess with the TFTP server- I could simply load the images with wget. I have a couple of questions regarding…

Yeah, synobios not present (Because we dont have that chip). I make DSM “Just for fun”, so not all functios work correctly. To me already it bothered to be picked alone (Besides at me not enough necessary knowledge) so further development of the project won’t be.
