Installing Partkeepr on a QNAP TS-509 Pro NAS

[Chris Van Niekerk]

Hi

Has anyone installed Partkeepr on the above NAS? If so, can you please share the procedure with me.

Best regards

Chris

Hello Chris,

unfortunately, I do not own such a NAS. I can only help with general questions
and information.

- What OS is used on that NAS is it Linux-based?
- Do you have a web server (apache, nginx, lighttpd) installed or can do so
via packaging system?
- Do you have PHP available? Which versions (we need PHP <= 7.1)?
- The same holds true for MySQL (or MariaDB <= 10.1). Available?
- Do you have shell access (SSH/putty is pretty fine) to the machine?
- Are there any security considerations to be taken? (The machine is not
reachable from the internet, right?)

These are a few questions to get it running...
Christian

My last reading of the docs I though 7.2 would work.
Please advise.

(Have found some docs on running multiple versions of PHP at the same time.)

I think I found what I had read, read incorrectly!!
Says that 7.3 does NOT work and that it was less than or equal to 7.1 would.
I didn't look at all the parts so I assumed if 7.3 does not and 7.1 does then
7.2 is likely to even though it wasn't referred to.
Both mathematically and logically my assumption was in error.

Yes and I'm on 7.3.19.

Sorry wasn't my question.

A concern from my wheelhouse.
The primary developer of Partkeepr is on an extended leave of absence.
Partkeepr at least partly relies on Symfony. The version used in Partkeepr
was EOLed quite some time ago and a new version is going to hit pdq.
(New version
is some 3 versions, or more, past the used version.)
AIUI the further behind the somewhat current curve one gets on dependencies
the more likely the project just dies. Is there some work on moving
the dependency
curve forward happening at this point?

Regards
