    Suitable NAS to easily install LMS on?

    What are the go to NAS now?

    as there is no longer support for my Readynas duo which leaves me with LMS 7.9.4 and the BBC Sounds plugin needs 8.2 it looks like I need to add a new NAS.

    Not a NAS, but a Raspberry Pi. It can read the files from your NAS, but would run LMS much better than your NAS.

      thanks but no. Just does not interest me.

      So there is no NAS solution any more?

        Some NAS can run Docker. LMS can be run in a Docker.

        Synology & Qnap both produce such NAS. Intel based. But if you don’t think you can manage a Raspberry Pi with a your files stored on NAS then you may not be keen on Docker which is more complicated

          I could most likely do a Pie with no problems (just put together a new Media PC) but it’s a simple I don’t want to.
          I am running out of storage space and need to add a NAS. If it can run LMS then that is a plus. Never heard of Docker will have to look. But it is only to support a single Squeeze product that is the radio.
          The 3 died a few years ago and the Touch is failing and wont stay connected (has been replaced with a Node for the HiFi use).
          As the Radios sole use is for the BBC Chanels and I am not able to add the sounds app the LMS environment will no longer be viable for me. Though it will be staying on the workshop computer for playback there.

            If you want a NAS, a qnap (any) with digimasters QLMS package runs LMS natively and is superb.
            I still use Musicip which requires Intel ideally although some managed to get that running on a Pi instead.
            I have a Pi in a remote location which runs Max2play. I forget it’s there - it just runs 24x365. As close to an appliance as you can get. If you want 99.9999% reliability with no hassle, and which takes 1hr to set up, a Pi is the way to go. You can make toast over an open fire, but eventually you buy a toaster.. pi’s are available again - a Pi3 would be fine for LMS.

              Not to discourage you from upgrading, but the BBC Sounds plugin does work on 7.9.4. The minimum version tested against is 7.9.3. (There are a few bits of functionality only provided by 8.2 and higher, but they do not prevent it from working) There are lots of reasons to upgrade though.

                Ok I had better read the install info again as it was not happening last time.

                  .
                  Now that would be an option but links to it via this thread go nowhere https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum...X86-support-!=

                  as the https://www.qnapclub.eu site seems to be no more. Any pointers?

                    Is running LMS on your Media PC an option?

                      Yes, but that would not solve the storage issue. And would mean an extra bit of kit switched on or on standby when not needed.

                        I have been running LMS on Synology DS220+ for over a year with Squeezelite player on RPi 3B+. It's been fast and very stable.

                          You need an INTEL NAS for running Docker and LMS 8.x. I am using a Synology 918+ with DSM 6 in my home NAS. And a Synology 720+ with DSM 7 in my work NAS.

                            FWIW: some aarch64 based NAS support Docker, too. Our Docker image supports armv7, aarch64, x86_64.

                              This is the way. A Pi is smaller than a pack of cigarettes ... or the walwart supplies of many routers.

                              On an economy install with modest libraries and client loads, I just tie it into the router with a 1' ethernet cable. It can manage any shared network volume from there.

                              If the media library is small enough, you can even throw the whole thing on a USB thumb drive plugged into the Pi.

                              Back in the old ReadyNAS days, LMS was somewhat functional, included in the product, and maintained. But in 2023, keeping up with NAS compatibility seems a bit of a PITA.
