theotocopulitos Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 3 Karma: 0	I was looking for a lightweight comic 'server' for a Synology NAS... So I found YACReader... it seems this might be a great program to run on a NAS and use the reader for iOS to read remotely... Does anyone have experience in this? Thanks Arturo

Welcome to the forum theotocopulitos,

one of the tasks in the TODO list is creating a headless version of YACReaderLibrary and then I would like to try to build a package for running it in NAS systems.

I have no experience developing for Synology or any other NAS systems. Probably the first step is try to have a build of Qt5 for Synology (dropping the gui framework).

It would be great if you want to join the project as a contributor or if you know someone with the needed skills

We can work together on the NAS stuff.

A pre-compiled version for a Synology would be cool, but a version compiled for armv7l or armada xp debian would be a good interim solution.

On my Synology box I run ARM Debian using chroot in addition to the Synology specific linux. It allows me to run anything that has been compiled for Debian on ARM without having to have it be specific to the Diskstation's OS.

Unfortunately, I don't see the point in compiling it now until there is a headless option. Otherwise I would have to setup a full Windowing system to launch it, and that may be more than the little box can handle.

All you have to do is to add a compile option to disable the open_gl comic flow and fall back to software rendering. Some work on a headless version has been done but it's still in a very early stage. We still have a lot of work to do till it becomes usable.

When the headless version will be ready, it would be great to have some beta testers for the ARM version.

Are you interested guys?

As selmf said, a fully functional version of YACReader (without OpenGL by now) is already working on a Raspberry Pi. So ARM is not a problem.

For synology, setting up cross-compile environments is always a little bit tricky, so any help with this will be welcome. f.e. forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=143&t=16560

Hi Josephm,

thanks a lot for your offer

Anything we don't have to take care of leaves us more time for actual development.
As I've written before, the headless version will take some more time. We will have to inspect and possibly rewrite parts of YACReader to remove gui dependencies, evaluate and maybe replace some of the libraries we're using and add control mechanisms to the command line interface as well as to the web-interface. The good news is that we'll probably be able to do this gradually, one module at a time, without splitting YACReaderLibrary into two binaries and that the gui version will profit from this as well.

Regards,

selmf
