This is pyLoad v0.4.9 for firmware V4+ successfully built with 64K page size memory patch. For setups and details, refer to http://pyload.org/.
For those interested on how to build from the source, refer to this thread. It may help others to continue supporting the 64K page size memory for other packages. Below are my simplified instructions on how to get it installed on the V4 firmware (will not work on older firmwares).
AND I have also made an online generic 64K page size memory package installer to simplify the installations of Debian packages on WDMyCloud. This will not work on older version 3 WD firmwares and I’m not planning to support it either as I’m sticking with the V4 firmwares. Based on dynamic server-side FastCGI, perl and shell scripts, I’ll be using this method for newer guides from now onwards. Feel free to parse the script codes. All bug reports, opinions and suggestions are welcomed.
The Generic Online Installer:
1) Auto download of required debs including its dependencies if any.
2) Debs installation in the required order to prevent dependency issues.
3) Auto run custom configurations if any.
If you proceed further, you are fully aware of the usual WD’s _warranty void _clauses including disclaimer from any damages that may resulted from this guide.
Enable SSH on your NAS from the WD DashBoard settings if not done so. SSH to your NAS port 22 using i.e. putty root@wdmycloud.
To proceed with the installation, first you need to get the username and password from me. The credentials will expire hourly e.g. “1AM,2AM,3AM…” to prevent intentional abuse on my network resources. Click on the link below to get the credentials :
For quick backup and restore when WD release newer firmware update:
Before updating firmware: tar zcf /shares/Public/pyload.tar.gz ~/.pyload;
After updating firmware: tar xf /shares/Public/pyload.tar.gz -C /;
Run the online installer again. Your settings will be preserved and you may then remove the tar backup.
Online Installer change log:
[20141118] Printing of package size during install.- Check and warn available rootfs space before installing.- Changed tmp path to allocate larger than 100Mb installs.
[20160112] Added UnRAR v5.30 support.
This will be a welcome addition for interested Users.
Glad to share with the community
Hi guys,
I need testers before I release to the forum. This is my 1st time using pyLoad and note the install is quite large, about 150mb of debs. Those on v4 firmware (only v4 won’t work on v3), experienced with pyLoad and interested to test, please pm me…
pyLoad v0.4.9 now released to the community… note it’s a large 133MB installations. Have mercy on my WDMyCloud (-:
## System Check ##
Python Version: OK
pycurl: OK
sqlite3: OK
pycrypto: OK
py-OpenSSL: OK
py-imaging: OK
tesseract: OK
PyQt4: missing <- This is normal!
jinja2: OK
beaker: OK
JS engine: OK <- The largest package!
Have you ever installed anything other than from my guides? I have lots of packages installed and I’m still at 70%. Although it’s still ok (it’s just to remind you), your rootfs partition is above 75%.
I don’t recommend you deleting or messing with the rootfs files and folders if you’re unsure or you might brick it.
To uninstall, you need to manually remove the packages you see during the install ie. dpkg -r packagename (without the version and extension).
To change your download folder, login to the webGUI http://wdmycloud:8000 and change from the screenshot below:
unfortunately I must confess that my english is very bad, but I would love to get to run pyLoad. maybe I can have someone here to help and translate this manual into German. The google translator does not help here unfortunately.
