Doesn't really matter what you put here, just make sure you remember and put it in anytime I mention the 'Container'-folder. I just created a folder 'Containers' in the root of my NAS. It will ask you for a folder to put its stuff in. Go to the QNAP App Store and download 'Container Station'. So I continued searching and without further ado, I will tell you what I found:Ī way to install forked-daapd on your QNAP device in 2020! I only tested this on my TS-451 with QTS 4.14.24 on firmware 4., but I gather it should work on basically any QNAP NAS with the ability to install Container Station. This thread awoke my hopes, but it is nearly 10 years old and of course, all the download links are dead.
Since installing something meant for Linux directly on QTS can be tricky sometimes, it took me some time to find a solution. It has a ton of features - you can connect an Apple Remote, stream to AirPlay devices, etc. I have discovered the excellent forked-daapd, which does the same as FMS, but better and more up to date.
Since QNAP has dropped support for the old and outdated iTunes server that came pre-setup in Settings (Firefly Media Server), I searched for an alternative.
