If is possible to install Oracle Java for ARMv7 on a Synology NAS using the approach described in this post. The post describes doing this for ARMv5 and PPC, so you will need to adapt the instructions for ARMv7.

Hi Simon,
Much appreciate your help, thanks.
I have installed Oracle Java using that method in years past on my older NAS boxes. Some time ago I tried it with the DS214+ and found Bubble UPnP would not run at all with that Java and so went back to the default version.

Following recent problems with Bubble server just locking up on me, I decided to look at it again. The versions of current Java on the oracle website are not like the example given in the documentation.

They offer:
Linux ARM 64 RPM package jdk-8u281-linux-aarch64.rpm
Linux ARM 64 Compressed Archive jdk-8u281-linux-aarch64.tar.gz
Linux ARM 32 Hard Float ABI jdk-8u281-linux-arm32-vfp-hflt.tar.gz

I think the nearest is the third one but nothing like the example given in those notes which is:

ejdk-8u33-fcs-linux-arm-sflt.tar.gz

I do not think there is a suitable version there at all.

In their archive section, the latest there is:
ejdk-8u211-linux-arm-sflt.tar.gz

Now to me that does look the right type but is historical.

Then I need to find out the version the http://packages.pcloadletter.co.uk
will try to load for me. It claims that the latest on -line version is 1.8.0_211-0050.
I think the 211 bit is the key and I think it will try to install
ejdk-8u211-linux-arm-sflt.tar.gz
and that tells me the latest versions are not suitable at all.

Please tell me I'm wrong!

On top of this, my NAS is now pressuring me to upgrade to Minimserver V2 which makes me very anxious about the procedure and what fascilities I will no longer have.


Thanks

Bob.
