I currently run MinimServer on my iMac with my music collection on an attached FireWire HDD (an arrangement I intend to retain as an instant 'backup' solution should the QNAP ever fail). However, I have no experience either of QNAPs or of installing MinimServer on a NAS.

I think you'll be very pleased with this!

Quote:I have read the instructions on the website and it seems a straightforward process, but I do have a couple of minor queries ahead of the installation. Firstly, The instructions specify the Public folder as the download location for the JRE QPKG, but I am not clear as to where I download the MinimServer installation package.

You should download this to the PC or Mac that you will use to do the installation. When you go to the QNAP Package Center to install MinimServer (using your browser), the browser page will prompt you for the location of the .qpkg file.

Quote:Secondly, can I install MinimWatch on my iMac ahead of the QNAP MinimServer installation, and will it interfere with my existing iMac installation of MinimServer?

Yes, and No.
