QNAP

Resilio Active Everywhere package isn't available in QNAP's App Center and must be installed and managed manually.

Install Resilio Agent on QNAP NAS

To install Resilio Agent on a QNAP NAS device:

  1. Download the agent configuration file from the Management Console and copy it to /shares/Public on your QNAP device. For more information, see Install Agent - Generate Configuration File.
  2. Download the Resilio Active Everywhere Agent package dedicated to your hardware architecture.
  3. Log in to QNAP QTS.
  4. Open the App Center, then click Manual install.
  5. Click Browse, locate the Agent package file, then click Next.
  6. Download Agent package.
  7. On the NAS go to AppCenter ->Manual install ->  and pick the downloaded .qpkg file.

The agent will get installed, move the config file into its storage (/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/ResilioAgent/) and connect to the Management Console.

The Connect Agent will run as the admin on the NAS and will use the NAS device name.

Update an agent

Download the package (qpkg). On NAS go to Appscenter and stop Resilio Agent. Click to install an app manually and select the downloaded qpkg file. You might need to manually launch Agent.

Don't do package removal

Do not "Remove" existing package prior installation of a new one. "Remove" button on QNAP cleans up all package data and will cause Agent to lose its identity and connect to the Management Console as a fresh agent that participates no jobs.

By default, all shares will be stored in the directory as defined in "folders_storage_path" value in agent config file. This might be %DOWNLOADS%, %HOME% or %USERPROFILE% variable, their default destinations are given here. You can change these defaults by editing folders.conf file in storage folder:

{
  "downloads_folder_path" : "/share/HDA_DATA/Public/Resilio Agent/Downloads",
  "user_profile_folder_path" : "/share/HDA_DATA/Public/Resilio Agent",
  "home_folder_path" : "/share/HDA_DATA/Public/Resilio Agent",
  "management_server": {
    "host": "0.0.0.0:0"
  }
}
