OpenHAB2 installation issue on Synology DSM 6.2.1

Hardware Server
21

The “duck still alive” … french expression :joy:
Command line interface now starts, but very very very slow (few minutes to get an answer) or even no response.
The result is the same that stating it from the DSM interface, the disk activity raises 100% and no logs in the usedata directories
See below
Question: could it be a disk issue, I am using an old Samsung HD103SI, which is not in the support list for the DS119J?.. I note that all the programs that I am suing are working.

hmm okay this confuses me…

@cniweb have you any ideas, whats here happen?

or is the System too small with CPU Clock @ 800MHz and 256MB RAM?

Thanks for your support, but I will give-up; too many efforts for nothing.
Generally speaking I am disappointed about the Synology NAS. I thought it was a kind of “reference” in the NAS world, but it ends-up to be a very simple OS, slow response with basic user interface and lack of troubleshooting means, no active forum.
Other than me will have probably more courage to solve this problem if they are facing it.

I have a little experience to configure openHAB (… not so easy), so solving the openHAB installation on Synology is only one small part of the problem (or the beginning of it) .

So I will use my NAS for what it is; share my videos and photos.

Plan B is to install openHAB2 on Raspberry Pi with bootable disk and migrate my exiting House Automation openHAB to this new environment.
I am pretty sure that I will have questions to ask while configuring this environment.

Thanks again
Robert

The DS119j has only 256MB of memory (see specs) so it probably can’t keep everything in its memory and is most likely continuously swapping memory to/from the harddisk when running openHAB. The Raspberry Pi 3 already has 4x times as much memory (1 GB). :hushed:
