Enabling Pogoplug service on top of Debian/ArchLinux

[ranganadhm]

Hi,

I was very much satisfied with Pogoplug's web service and iPhone app that was running on my little Dockstar till i managed to install Debain on a USB stick and boot into it (after lot of struggles). I was happly accessing my files wherever i was....But now they are no more ... Limted to my house !!

Reason behind the move to Debian was to add support for more file systems like reiserfs, xfs, ext4, etc. Because i have all these partitions on my 2TB drive. I made an attempt copying "/usr/local/cloudengines" folder from "/dev/mtdblock2" to my Debian "/usr/local" and executing "hbmgr.sh". Ultimately, it failed! It couldnt recognize the .ko's hence unsuccessful start.

I am wondering did anybody tried this And wanted to have this luxury? I feel it is a great asset that nobody wants to loose!

Thanks
Ranganadh

I want to do something very similar to what you've posted, but right now I'm reading up all these posts to see if anyone has posted a similar question or answer to such an issue.


I want to just add a compiler, linker, libraries, and start compiling more apps to extend the functionality of the device.

My end goal is to have phpbbs, apache, subsonic, vncserver, and some desktop managment software, it doesn't have to be gnome or a heavy weight but some desktop.

That's basically optware.

If you want our functionality, it is a sacrifice that must be made, as Pogoplug software is proprietary we will not be doing this.

what is optware?
