HDHR Install Wizard Doesn't Find NAS
HDHR Install Wizard Doesn't Find NAS
I have a new Ugreen NAS DXP2800 with a 4 TB Seagate NAS hard drive installed. Finally managed to create a Docker folder and moved all HDHR recordings from my old PC setup into the NAS hard drive into a shared folder. However when running the HDHR Install Wizard (from new PC) the NAS is not found. All this NAS stuff is new to me so guess I am looking for a tutorial on what steps are needed to get HDHR to work with the new NAS. Any suggestions?

Re: HDHR Install Wizard Doesn't Find NAS
in your setup you should probably use the docker package (see viewtopic.php?t=73757 )
The "setup" program will most likely not work to install to use docker (or such folder depending on how created) would need ssh on standard port into container and then that storage be considered local but to discover the NAS it relies on upnp so the easiest way for it to discover the nas is by ensuring you are running a dlna server on it (but again that isn't what you want)

Re: HDHR Install Wizard Doesn't Find NAS
I have made some progress but still unable to get HDHomeRun and the Ugreen NAS to communicate. Running the Install Wizard now progresses through the SSH login but stalls with this message: "Please create a share named HDHomeRun" I added a folder named HDHomeRun in the shared folders area on the NAS but still get the same message. Anyone know where the "share" named HDHomeRun is supposed to be?

Re: HDHR Install Wizard Doesn't Find NAS
I wouldn't bother using the installer. Use the docker install method instead but I believe when setting up the docker on the ugreen it strongly suggests the folder be in the "docker" share to ensure correct permissions for docker to access properly.
As for the nas installer I don't recall how the NAS installer expects to find the share (but case of HDHomeRun does matter) with the WD's to be in something like /shares/HDHomeRun but I believe on the ugreen such is typically "/shared folders/HDHomeRun" or something like that (but I do recall the space in the folder name which can mess somethings up when such isn't expected). Also once you get past that hurdle I believe /tmp on the ugreen is mounted as noexec so once installed, it probably wouldn't start anyway and you would either have to remount /etc as exec or move the hdhomerun_record file (there will be more to the name for the platform it is running on) from /etc to someplace else (such as the share itself) that such could run from and then start that. Then you will have to figure out how to start it every time the NAS reboots.
Personally I would probably ssh into the box and perform a manual linux install but the docker container route would probably work best for you (should restarts properly and whenever it restarts checks to see if it needs to update first thus should be pretty much set and forget, though does need restart of container (or nas) to pick any updates up). The one person who had reported that as having trouble on getting such to work on ugreen most likely had a network issues as it was working to record but didn't show up to the clients, After rikd mentioned such there was never another post by them so we don't know how it turned out.

Re: HDHR Install Wizard Doesn't Find NAS
Signcarver, Thank you so much for your time and information trying to help me solve this NAS - HDHomeRun communication problem. Unfortunately I've been unable to make any more progress and have decided to return the NAS and just use the new hard drive as a secondary drive mounted in the new PC tower. That setup I know how to implement. You know what they say about old dogs and new tricks ... well I am a very old dog. Thanks again!
