[Tutorial] Installing Java on a Synology ARMv5 or PPC NAS

[pinchi22]

I made it to the last step (Install Java SE Embedded 8), but then get the following message:

"This package does not contain a digital signature."

Synology DS212J

This is caused by a change in DSM 5.1 that requires you to set the Package Center Trust Level to 'Any subscriber'.

Many thanks, I changed the trust level as you suggested. However, I now receive the "Java binary bundle not found" message.

I believe I am using latest Java SE v.8:
ejdk-8u6-fcs-b23-linux-arm-sflt-12_jun_2014.tar.gz

This should be OK. Are you sure the exact filename is correct and the file is in the correct location? Can you post a screenshot from Synology File Station?

OK, copied screen shot from my Mac. Can you see this?:

You have copied the file to a folder named "my shared folder". The shared folder needs to be named "public" as described in this step:

c) In case you've just set up a new NAS, the 'public' shared folder may not be there. In this case you have to create it manually.

Forgive my technical ignorance, but how do I name/make this file "public".

I did find this on Synology support, and I believe I followed it, but it appears to deal with "shared" but not "public" files:

You need to follow the instructions on this Synology support page and use the name "public" instead of the name "my shared folder". After doing this, you need to copy the Java .tar.gz file to the "public" folder.

After you have created the "public" folder and installed Java, you can delete "my shared folder" if you want to.

Great. I created a new folder named "public" and Java SE Embedded 8 is now "installed". Is it correct that, as MinimServer is on my Synology NAS, I need to install MinimWatch on my Mac to control it?
