I don't understand. But sure: you can install LMS wherever you want. No
need for a Squeezebox or music player. It just doesn't make sense :-).

Ok. Thank you Michael. I have an Squeezebox Classic with LMS in my home Synology 918+ . And I am very happy with it. What I wanted to know, if there is dockerized 8.3.0 yet for installing it in my work Synology 720+. Spotty came to life my Squeezebox Classic.

Thank you

Sure, the official docker image has been updated to 8.3, too.

Works like a charm on an old Synology DS418J
Thanks to all !

Hi,

I have a Synology DS218+ (with DSM 7.1.1-42962 Update 1). Please could you let me know how I can install LSM in my Synology?

Many thanks,
Daniel

With DSM7 there are two options: use a different device (eg. a Raspberry
Pi), or run it in Docker. The latter should be possible for you, as I
think your devices is Intel based. LMS in Docker on Synology is well
documented and covered in other threads.

I guess the binaries aren't as far backwards compatible as I thought. According to my notes macOS 10.12 should be the minimum required - you're on 10.13, aren't you?

Not sure where I could find the info (most certainly here with a few hours of searching), but what is the latest LMS version I could use with Mac Min I running 10.7.5?

I'm still a full time Logitech employee. I've been maintaining MySB for
the past decade or so :-D.

An manu thanks for this amongst all your other efforts. I still use mySB on occasion, when my server has gone MIA for some reason...

LMS 8.3.1 should work again on older Macs.

I got out my old white macbook to test there first - it too is a core2 duo running 10.7.5. Installation went fine but it will not start; can you see anything obvious?

Hello, would it be possible to install this version on a Synology DS211j NAS please?
Alternatively, is there a working version for this NAS?
Thank you for the advice.

No. Synology dropped support for LMS in DSM7. Consequently the
maintainer of the packages for Synology stopped producing packages.

With a device that old you'll be much happier running LMS on a Raspberry
Pi, even if it's "only" a Pi3.

There's no Perl 5.18?

macOS 10.7 is really old... more than 10 years. I'm sorry if that's not
supported any more.

How can I updgrade my docker container on synology to 8.3 ?
