Helped a friend install minimServer on his qnap 210 last weekend. Installation was smooth. The install guide says install "minimWatch" on a PC to maintenance the minimServer in qnap, but, there is no minimWatch on the download page. I also use minimServer but on Windows PC, so I've no experience about minimWatch. But I figured maybe the minimWatch is in the minimServer Windows package and sure it is.

Just that if there is a separate minimWatch download (or included in the qnap package) then it maybe even more easy for qnap users!

Thanks for the feedback! I'll improve the documentation to make this clearer.

It isn't practical to include MinimWatch with the QPKG because there are different versions of MinimWatch for Windows x86, Windows x64, Mac OS X, Mac OS X 32-bit, Linux x86, and Linux ARM. The best solution is probably to produce separate downloads for MinimWatch on all these platforms.

In the long term, I'd like to implement a MinimServer web interface for basic configuration so that people can do the initial setup without needing to use MinimWatch.
