Hi, I was wondering if anyone have tried (or succeeded in) installing gitorious on a Synology (NAS) server? With the upgrade to DSM 4.0, they have opened for 3rd party apps to be installed with ease. Currently useful stuff like Wordpress, MediaWiki, Drupal and more are available. Having gitorious installed as easily would be quite neat! MySQL is available, but not so sure how easy it would be to get Ruby onto the box (perhaps it is there already for what I know)... Yngve, Sounds like a fun project! I have absolutely no knowledge of this: what kind of OS runs on it, what packages are available, how much memory it has - but it would be really cool to have use a NAS as a Gitorious server! Cheers, - Marius Hi Marius, Thanks for the response. They have created a lightweight Linux distro which is accessed through a fairly good web interface, called DSM (Disk Station Manager). See here for more info: http://www.synology.com/dsm/index.php I believe this is an open source system (GPL), so it follows similar philosophies to Gitorious in that regard: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dsgpl/ I guess the speed of the little thingy might be a limiting factor when it comes to gitorious. The amount of memory depends on which model you have. Myself I have 256 MB (the model is DS212). Generally I think between 128 and 512 MB is to be expected. CPU is typically a low power one of around 1.6 GHz. What would be minimum requirements for running Gitorious? I have 0 experience in writing the application build scripts for this box, but I'd be happy to help out (quite sure I would fail by myself). I saw on the forums that there had been questions for running GitHub and gitolite: http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=190&t=48159&p=194247 Gitorious has not been suggested so far though, not sure why. Does not seem like anyone succeeded so far for any git server. As for packages, I do not know of any lists online, so screenshots will have to do. My currently installed are: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2293502/synology_packages.png Not installed, available from Synology are: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2293502/synology_packages1.png Not installed, available from 3rd parties are: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2293502/synology_packages2.png Sorry the text is in Norwegian (I guess Marius will still understand). Names of packages are in "International" at least.. This is a fairly new feature I think so I guess it takes a short while for it to catch on. There might also be external repositories somewhere I do not know of.
