After burning my Readynas through reckless upgrades I noticed some comments referencing chroot. This promised a way to have an up to date system and protection from rogue packaging problems.
root@velvet:/# cat /etc/debian_version 4.0
apt-get install debootstrap
cd /usr/share/debootstrap/scripts ln -s lenny squeeze debootstrap squeeze /c/home/squeeze chroot /c/home/squeeze root@velvet:/# cat /etc/debian_version 6.0.4All very simple and very nice.
Thanks for an advice!
ReplyDeleteI'm currently in the process of setting up several Ruby on Rails apps (different ruby/rails versions) under RVM on my new ReadyNAS Ultra 2 Plus, and already faced a lot of troubles due to archaic Debian Etch packages. In fact, had to compile lots of software manually, modify installation/config scripts etc just to make Rails work. Will definitely try debootstrap and see how it goes.
I see you've been running bootstrapped Squeeze for some time already, how stable is this approach? Did it break any of the original Radiator functionality?
Hi Pavio,
ReplyDeleteI have had no issues. I am currently only using it for stuff that will not run with Etch, mainly Marklogic. I can access the Marklogic web services on port 8000 etc at the same time as the frontview web services.
chroot and android
