Sorry to bring back a zombie thread.
I have recently acquired a QNAP system.
I replicated parts of lionarts steps and successfully activated nrclientcmd, joining the system to my Neorouter network. The startup script will not run as is. It depends on Debian packages, which the native QTS lacks out of the box. I suspect modifying it to link to Optware startup files may work.
However, there are several issues with using this setup. Key ones include: 1) Optware is no longer officially supported (had to find an unofficial package through QNAPClub), 2) prior QNAP firmware updates broke Optware startup and require manually restoring that setup.
3) Worse, this setup is not permanent. All Neorouter files get wiped on a system reboot, leading me to suspect the QNAP system is loading QTS through a RAMDisk configuration.
One alternative I've seen is to use Linux Station. Does anyone have experience with how well the QNAP system is integrated with it? In other words, can I access the QNAP web portal using Neorouter installed on a Linux station?
I see that internetxs claims to have built a Neorouter QPKG, which is the likely more permanent solution. I am pretty sure I'm not the only one interested in such a package.
If anyone can guide me on making one, I'd greatly appreciate it.
