The world's first multi-action CLI package-manager!

Description

A mini-package-manager for QNAP NAS. It's FOSS, and written entirely in Bash.

Package management via sherpa provides extra features like easy application installation, backup, upgrading, service and daemon management, self-checking and repair, and all operations may be automated via cron.

The aim of this project is to support all QNAP NAS models and all QTS & QuTS hero versions from v4.0-onward. Please advise if you encounter any errors when running it on your NAS.

Installation

1. Click here to download the sherpa QPKG.

2. Install the QPKG manually through your QTS App Center UI. This QPKG is not digitally signed, so you'll need to allow unsigned packages to be installed in your App Center before installing it. It can "sign" itself (and all supported QPKGs) after installation.

Usage

1. SSH into your NAS,

2. Then at the command prompt, run:

$ sudo sherpa

... and follow the help from there.

If sudo is unavailable in your version of QTS, SSH into your NAS as the 'admin' user instead, and run:

# sherpa

If you have suggestions, advice, comments or concerns, please either create a new issue, or you are most welcome to start a new discussion topic.

This project is a community effort, and has been built with the combined efforts of many community members on the QNAP community forum. Thank you to everyone who has contributed.
