[QPKG] SortMyQPKGs

[OneCD]

Looks good.

Can you now restart the NAS, then run that same command string again after it has powered up? You should get an identical result.

This is absolutely typical. I've been spending most of the evening, trying to figure out why the qpkg.conf resets after every restart, and now it seems to be fixed.

Code: Select all

I have seriously no idea why it suddenly isn't an issue anymore

Eh, well except for that "minor" issue that when I use the Qnapclub Store repository, and restart the server, the AppCenter tells me I have no apps installed anymore, even though they are still present in the .qpkg directory...

No worries. I'll keep this problem in mind, but am at a loss to explain why it happened. I'm not aware of any other software that rewrites qpkg.conf.

But we really don't know how QNAP manage things "behind-the-scenes". You might have found a bug in the OS. But I'm glad it's now working.

I'll upload a new package version to the Qnapclub later today which will have the fix for PlexMediaServer. Thanks for reporting it.

I get the same thing here. It always takes a few minutes for the App Center to sort itself out. It tends to hang as the OS is still launching packages even after the QTS GUI becomes available.

You might also want to add git, used in Clinton Hall's versions of SABnzbd+, Sickbeard and CouchPotato.
Not sure how many still use that setup except for me, though.

Ah. It's the first time I've used an alternative store as an integrated repository, so I kinda panicked and reinstalled everything, as both stores said the apps weren't installed

Cool - although, that setup is quite old. I'll add git to the ALPHA list.

Maybe try sherpa? Uses the same self-updating idea (git pull from source on launch), but is not dependent on git or Python QPKGs.

git and Python are installed through the Entware package instead, which allows us to fix some other problems and keep SAB happy.

[Nexonic]

Thanks for this!

I moved QVPN to alpha and QTransmission to omega and all is good for me

[OneCD]

Good idea. I'll add these to the next release. Thanks!

[threeonesix]

This package fixed all of my reboot issues. Thank you!!

[Toxic17]

Just for your information. The new QJDK9 has been released

viewtopic.php?f=320&t=138776

(26) (Φ) QJDK9

[OneCD]

Thanks Simon.

I've now added QJDK9 to the ALPHA list. This will be available in the 180122 package - once it's been approved by the Qnapclub Store.

Is is possible to downgrade DownloadStation's Alpha status?

Currently it always loads before QVPN using SortMyQPKGs addon, meaning that D/S can't make use of the VPN / Proxy if set up, without a restart of D/S.

I would only set 'services' to Alpha state, and not apps (of any description) IMHO.

TIA.

Good point.

DownloadStation was only put there as it needs to load before Transmission (due to a change made some time ago). But because Transmission is now in the OMEGA list, DS does not need to be there.

Can you remove DownloadStation from your ALPHA list and advise if it works as required after a reboot?

[gibxxi]

Tested and seems to work as suggested, Thanks OneCD.

I do however have an edge-case that invalidates my previous post. At the risk of sounding hypocritical, is it safe to assume if I place "QSubsonic" after "QJDK8" but before "QVPN" in the alpha list that it will load in exactly the order as placed in the file?

The reason being, if QSubsonic loads after QVPN, all it's traffic will be routed through the VPN, as set up, thus preventing it being able to assign / use the custom Subsonic dynamic DNS feature (It fails with a timeout message).

[OneCD]

Thank you, I’ll remove DS from the ALPHA list.

Regarding QSubsonic: you’ll need to test and let me know what works. I don’t use any of those packages.

Package loading does seem to occur in the exact order each configuration block appears in qpkg.conf (with at least one exception as shown in my autorun.sh installer OP).
