I have a WD MyCloud 2TB NAS WDBCTL0020HWT-EESN running BusyBox Linux v1.20.2 and as I am getting a lot of sync errors I would like to flush the BusyBox and replace it with Ubuntu and install NextCloud on it. Is it possible to download the iso that is used in the NextCloud Box’s sd card and install …

Embarrassingly, I cannot find the issue again. I think maybe it needs to have some admin turn it live from the Bounty Source Page.

Getting back to the original question of this thread, I have digged into the hardware specs of the 2TB WD My Cloud to check for compliance with Ubuntu and Nextcloud: Processor System-on-chip (SoC) ARM Cortex A9 dualcore ARMADA 375 CPU Full code: root@XXXXX root # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor …
