In brief:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Download JRE 7 for ARMv5 from\u00a0<span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"external text\" style=\"color: #3366bb;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oracle.com\/technetwork\/java\/embedded\/downloads\/javase\/index.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.oracle.com\/technetwork\/java\/embedded\/downloads\/javase\/index.html<\/a>, don&#8217;t expand or rename it!<\/li>\n<li>Put it in the Public share<\/li>\n<li>Download the JRE7.qpkg from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/db.tt\/yVj7Lwe\">db.tt\/yVj7Lwe<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Go to the App Center, click &#8220;Install manually&#8221; and add this package.<\/li>\n<li>Wait until it is installed<\/li>\n<li>Go to the App Center, find the JRE App and activate it<\/li>\n<li>Use Java<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Install Ubooquity<\/h3>\n<p>Download the jar from\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/vaemendis.net\/ubooquity\/static2\/download\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/vaemendis.net\/ubooquity\/static2\/download<\/a> and put it on your QNAP NAS. I created a Folder Ubooquity in Public\/ where everything from Ubooquity lives, so it is in <code>\/share\/Public\/Ubooquity\/<\/code> now.<\/p>\n<p>Do a test run on the shell:<\/p>\n<pre>java -jar Ubooquity.jar -webadmin<\/pre>\n<p>Now you should be able to connect to the admin server on http:\/\/&lt;qnapaddress&gt;:2202\/admin<\/p>\n<p>Set a password for administration and play with the Web ui.<\/p>\n<h3>Install as a service<\/h3>\n<p>As soon as you close the shell from above, Ubooquity quits itself. Not very cool. So we need to install it as a daemon, a service starting on system start and then running all time.<\/p>\n<p>Ubooquity provides a nice startup script called ubooquity.sh at <a href=\"http:\/\/vaemendis.net\/ubooquity\/downloads\/scripts\/\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/vaemendis.net\/ubooquity\/downloads\/scripts\/<\/a>. Get it and put it next to Ubooquity.jar. As <code>pgrep<\/code> on QNAP doesn&#8217;t support the <code>-c<\/code> (count) option, we need to change one line:<\/p>\n<p>Replace all occurrences of the line<\/p>\n<pre>count=`pgrep -fc Ubooquity.jar`<\/pre>\n<p>with<\/p>\n<pre>count=`pgrep -f Ubooquity.jar | wc -l`<\/pre>\n<p>QNAP provides a quite easy way to register an application as a service. Simply edit the file \/etc\/config\/qpkg.conf and add the following block.<\/p>\n<pre>[Ubooquity]\r\nName = Ubooquity\r\nVersion = 1.4.0\r\nEnable = TRUE\r\nQPKG_File = none.qpkg\r\nDate = 2014-04-28\r\nShell = \/share\/Public\/Ubooquity\/ubooquity.sh\r\nInstall_Path = \/share\/Public\/Ubooquity\r\nWeb_Port = 2202\r\nWebUI = \/\r\nAuthor = Ubooquity<\/pre>\n<p>You may have to adapt the paths to your installation.<\/p>\n<p>Now you can start Ubooquity in the App Center just like any other app.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_166\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-166\" style=\"width: 219px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.doerflinger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Ubooquity.start_.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-166\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.doerflinger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Ubooquity.start_.png\" alt=\"Ubooquity.start\" width=\"219\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.doerflinger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Ubooquity.start_.png 446w, https:\/\/blog.doerflinger.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Ubooquity.start_-243x300.png 243w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-166\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">QPKG View<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ubooquity is a very nice little server which scans your eBooks and Comics and displays them in a tablet friendly way.
