I know apache2 is installed but not configured, and I also read on another post that reloading the new apache2 config file generates error message due to UI / Dashboard issue. Now I am wondering about the nginx and bind9, could they be installed and used since they are very light weight and easy to …

Hello there, I have not tried this, lets see if another user can share some information or tips on this matter.

Thanks for your reply, if you would, please post your Apache2 config file. I need a step by step to follow.

I skipped Raspberry Pi because it doesn’t have gigabit port, may be you could take a look at Banana Pi it has gigabit port. For me at the moment, MyCloud is my best choice for both NAS (quite affordable + surprisingly fast transfers compared to other lower end NAS) and web server (after few mods to…

Thank you Nazar78 , I will look at Banana Pi. For now I run my Nginx server from Ubuntu machine till I get a good set of instructions on how to run Nginx from My Cloud. BTW, no intention of lowering my firmware version at this time. I did talk to Western Digital level 2 support engineers and unf…
