Hi, basically I bought a NAS drive maybe a month ago, and sense then have been setting it up for backups, my issue is however that I cant manage to install the Unity Asset Server on the device, the device is a Synology DS213j. I can put GIT on the device but I want the Asset Server as I already have the license and it works pretty well for me.
Attempt one:
The first and most obvious step was that since the NAS runs on a custom linux version I’d have to install from source and I checked everything and it seemed swell however soon after I got it I found that this particular model has no “bootstrap” however it’s claimed that using the bootstrap from other models would be fine… this is not the case. After jumping through like a million (semi expected) hoops I managed to get the installer to run, how ever it gives a error stating something along these lines:
This error seems to be very common if their are issues with missing parts of the compiler how ever I’ve installed tonnes of stuff that was recommended and none of it works. I am no expert on linux, in fact I’m a total novice with it but I think that this error is probably being caused by a incompatible bootstrap (As some say that the bootstrap isn’t “all that compatible”)
Attempt two(Current):
My second and current attempt is to Cross Compile the Asset Server on a different machine(I’m using a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian linux) and then install that on the NAS, or maybe even make a package of it.
I started by looking at this guide from Synology first finding my NAS uses the Marvell armada 370 CPU so I went to this page to download the ToolKit for it but then it lost me, I looked up “cross compiling” but I couldn’t find many resources. Partially this is because I don’t know much about linux and the asset server uses a shell script which AFAIK is like automated command line and the guides never use this kind of thing, I opened the script up but I’m not confident enough to change it.
Anyone willing to help me out with this? I’d be super appreciative
