Thanks! I should be able to add some logic to minimserver/bin/setup to put the correct entries in this directory.

a little recommendation i came across while installing minimserver in nand of my nas, wouldn't it be a great feature to select different data path of minimserver as database and log files are getting bigger and bigger. right now i had to move the whole app on hdd otherwise nand would run out of space.
no big deal but nice to have.

You could set this up yourself by replacing the minimserver/data directory with a link to some other directory location. If the link is named "data", MinimServer won't know that this has happened.

I have sent you a PM with a link to a test build. Please let me know how you get on with this.

What is the result of these great steps installing MINIM-server on routers ?
Is MINIM-server working now on routers ?
I am using the ASUS router RT-N65U with standard firmware and I really want to run MINIM server on it.
Is this possible now and how is the installation done ?
The only alternative firmware (known from my side at the moment
) is https://code.google.com/p/rt-n56u/http://

If I recall correctly, after much hard work MinimServer was able to run on OpenWrt but MinimServer could not start automatically when OpenWrt was booted.
If you would like to try this on your router, you can follow the instructions on this page.

Thank you very much for you quick answer, simoncn !
It was very interesting to read your documentation here how you and alexinc were building the solution.
Since for my router there is no openWrt (yet?) available it seems there is no luck for me with MinimServer there ...

You might be successful on other firmware. You won't know unless you try....

Yes, okay, I really like to try MinimServer.
How should I try it, can I also use the standard ASUS firmware ?
What is important and what functionality must an alternative firmware have for MinimServer ?
Following the instructions in the Minim link:
As far as I have understood MinimServer is written in Java and therefore an embedded Java installation is needed. ok, following the ORACLE link there are eleven diffferent embedded Java downloads for v7 an v8.
Which one is the correct one for ASUS RT-N65U, is this important ?
Since my ASUS router is not having a ARMv6 or ARMv7 CPU
(I think so, guessing RALINK is not an ARM CPU, right ?)

I am already confused with the first step installing JAVA on my router
Sorry if my questions are too simple or for you... I am not a JAVA or Linux expert at all

The RALINK uses a MIPS CPU. I don't think there is a version of Java for this CPU. Unfortunately, this means you won't be able to run MinimServer on your router. Using different firmware wouldn't make any difference to this.
