DSM 6 Synology and MinimServer

[tarnkappe]

The automatic updates of minimserver are not done by the DSM package center (at least not on my DS213+. In some DS-versions the minimserver package is installable via the package center and in this case I expected it should be updated by DSM, too. If you installed it manually, DSM does not update the package).

Instead minimserver updates itself on startup/restart as long as this is configured that way in its property settings, that you can alter by using minimwatch. But AFAIK only minor versions are updated this way. Major versions have to be installed manually. You can check for updates manually using minimwatch (I think by choosing the "about" menu item and there "check for updates".)

If you need to update manually you have to know the processor type of your NAS:

In case of the DS212j this is "Marvell Kirkwood ARMv5TE compliant (Feroceon® family)". So the "Synology ARMv5" package will be the correct one.
