[APP] Aria2 and Entware for WDMyCloud Gen2

Hi, folks! I would like to share Aria2 and Entware for WDMyCloud Gen 2, as well as the method to cross compile program and pack it for the machine. You can check it out at Github Repository.

  • Release folder: the ready to use program. I compiled, packed and tested Aria2 and Entware. For other programs, I only packed it using files provided by Auska. Thus, it’s not guaranteed they work.
  • buildscript folder: it contains a script I used to cross compile Aria2. This is FYI.

Thanks to the great work done by @Fox_exe and @hashashin. You are recommended to read WD MyCloud Gen2 - Enable apps install tab + Apps! and MyCloud Gen2 custom apps mini repository carefully before using this.

With Entware, you can install program like python, p7zip and etc. Basic usage of Entware:

  • opkg list: list available package
  • opkg install XXX: install package XXX
  • opkg remove XXX: remove package XXX
  • opkg list|grep XXX: XXX search package XXX
    check opkg --help to learn more
