[SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Is there a FreeNAS plug-in?

[DLD-UK]

Hi,

I'm thinking of moving from WHS 2011 to FreeNAS but I can't find an
official plug-in. Is there one available? If not, can someone suggest
the best way to run LMS?

I saw that but I hoped things might have moved on with an official
plug-in. I'm not sure what is involved in creating a plug-in.

Your easiest "plug-in" might be a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with piCorePlayer...
From what I've seen over the past weeks and months, installing LMS on
FreeNAS isn't for you unlike you like to tinker and learn.

[mherger]

It depends what you mean by tinker and learn. I am happy to write/modify
scripts if there is something to learn from. What I don't understand is
why there is not a FreeNAS plug-in. Is this because there is no demand
or because it is complex?

I guess it's lack of demand. You're probably the second or third person
I'm hearing from who wants to install on FreeNAS. The problem is that
LMS is a niche product. FreeNAS is a niche product, built on top of
FreeBSD - which is rather niche compared to Linux, too. Overall this
gives very few people and little experience.

I am so out of date on such things. How do you run LMS on a Pi? Is there
a download with the operating system and LMS in one package? I also
didn't know I could use external storage with LMS. How do I do that?

You can run LMS on a Pi and lots of people do, it works well apparently
(I do not so, going by feedback on here)
The simplest way of running LMS on a Pi is probably "Pcp" (aka
PiCorePlayer (Now v4.0.1))
There is a dedicated thread here for Pcp and you can find plenty of help
in using external storage for LMS there

I heartily support using a Raspberry Pi to run LMS, works a treat and
very cost effective in my opinion. I changed from using a supported
ReadyNAS to using a Pi with a hard drive storage plugged into it, but
could just as easily have used the ReadyNAS as the storage.

Cheers, David

DLD

In FreeNAS you would have to manually create a jail to install the
software necessary to run LMS. There is a FreeBSD LMS port which can
used, or you'd have to build LMS yourself.
