  1. Features: https://www.synology.com/en-global/DSM70 The biggest change is Synology Photos which is a bastard child between two perfectly good apps (moments+dsphotos). It's extremely lacking in a lot of ways as of yet.
  2. 1) Yes it's "abandoned" like Juns, but this time it's open source 2) To be honest... If you don't want to read the 144+ pages you should invest into a real Synology that just works. Here there will be dragons (and lots of) 3) Most/all people use this for testing only and it's not as stable as Juns loader 4) If you are happy with Juns loader I recommend you to stay on it, especially if you use it for "production". Redpill is not ready for production. If you have hardware to spare you should look into the amazing TinyCore project to get up and running quickly. Synology will also launch DSM 7.1 sometimes Q1, so the grand question is if that will be supported/stable at all going forward
  3. Redpill as in the project isn't gone, but the core developer(s) @ThorGroup is. No, unfortunately there is no additional information information available regarding. Thanks to the developers being awesome and making the project open source anyone can contribute this time. You should not use this project if you depend on future updates or intend to make this a production system/make it available on the Internet. As mentioned before, it's only for testing purposes and that will probably always be the case. I wouldn't recommend running Plex on DSM if you are highly dependent on performance. It's way better on a Linux VM with a later kernel and a GPU in passthrough. Some have also reported DSM 7 to be unstable when stressed, not sure thats only tied to Docker or also the Plex package though. I've never been able to get sleep to work, but honestly it's not recommened either as it most likely will decrease the life expectancy of your drives depending on how often you wake them up. Spinning up/down is what kills most drives, not spinning 24/7. I was also looking into this for a long time, but concluded with spindown being a silly thing unless you are pretty sure that the disks can be spinned down for at least a day at a time, preferable over several days. QuickConnect and face recognition is only working for real devices as it requires a real serial/mac. There are ways to get around those limitations, but at that point I would highly recommend to buy a real Synology. Especially if you want something that just works and doesn't waste energy. They are great devices, low power consumption and rock solid. Without the use of docker the performance is also not that bad given the dated hardware they use. There is no such thing as robust or stable branch. Everything is done in development branches that might break tomorrow, but a good starting point is the config used by TinyCore: https://github.com/pocopico/tinycore-redpill/blob/main/global_config.json You need to play around with SataPortMap in order to get the disk order correct. Havent tried TinyCore much myself, but it has a auto-detect feature that might help you. I also recommend to read through the other link with very easy to understand information on how SataPortMap and DiskIdxMap works.
  4. I was pretty sure ESXi also sent ACPI requests on shutdown since you can do it from it's command line.... that's really a bummer you can't configure it as the default way of shutting down a given VM... 😕
  5. Just use this, it works great. Gives you support for shutdown/restart. IP should be static so it never changes. Don't think there are any other benefits of open-vm-tools. Most important for me was the shutdown/restart support: https://github.com/jumkey/redpill-load/raw/develop/redpill-acpid/rpext-index.json

  7. I'll look into dmesg and other logs to see if I can spot anything. I'm just testing out unRAID and I haven't found any way of getting serial output from it yet for easier debugging
  8. I've build RedPill and everything it running as intended, but I can't get any other vNIC to work except e1000e. Both virtio and virtio-net aren't recognized. Anyone else tried this on UnRAID and gotten them to work? Would be nice to test higher speeds then 1Gbps.
  9. That discussion should probably be posted in: At this point its unlikely that ThorGroup returns. Most likely due to personal reasons given that the repository is still active and the rather sudden silence after spending so much time responding to comments and giving long and incredible intriguing changelogs. I'm sure someone knows more, but nothing has been posted as of yet. Whether or not it's dead or just on hold all depends if someone else takes over the project.
  10. Well... Not really reassuring that their last post contains "issue" and "Chinese firewall" before going silent. 😋
  11. Well yes... either someone takes over or it or it dies.... All depends if anyone else is skilled enough and willing to put time and effort into this. I have my doubts "they" will be back, makes no sense to disappear in order to focus on a beta-version. My bet is that something personal happened. I really hope "they" will manage and continue on this project. It's nice to see how much more active the forum had become since.
  12. Oh thanks a ton for the links! I thought I was the only one having these issues. I've encountered this as well after going to v7u2 (installed on a USB device) and have been pulling my hairs out of frustration. I've since upgraded to u3 and haven't yet encountered the issue again so hope this one is true...
  13. - Outcome of the installation/update: UNSUCCESSFUL - DSM version prior update: DSM 6.2.3 25426 Update 2 - Loader version and model: JUN'S LOADER v1.03b - DS3617xs - Using custom extra.lzma: NO - Installation type: VM - ESXi 6.7 - Additional comments: Same as all other people who use ESXi and a PCI/LSI card in passthrough mode. After the upgrade the NAS cannot be found on the network anymore. The only way I got access again was to temporarily switch to the DS3615xs loader and reinstall DSM and then migrate back to DS3617xs again. If you use a PCI card in passthrough DO NOT UPDATE to this version.
