qdevice on Synology DS218? (no apt-get, no docker)

[lutian]

Hello there,

I'm pretty new here, but been playing with proxmox for 3 months now.
I have 2 nodes and want to give my NAS a more respectable life purpose -- quorum device to achieve HA.

Any directions on running a qdevice on my Synology?
There's little documentation online on how to run it in a restricted environment like mine.

I imagine this is the repo: https://github.com/corosync/corosync-qdevice
I'm thinking maybe I'd build this on another machine and carry over the binary? I managed to build it and instead of doing make install, I just tried to run it, but it failed. I'm sure I'm missing something, I'm not really familiar with building on linux outside the usual instructions a package maintainer gives (configure, make, make install).

I see ubuntu can install this "corosync-qdevice" directly, so maybe I could grab the binary from a reputable source?


My "python -mplatform" prints "Linux-4.4.302+-aarch64-with-glibc2.34".
I have python3, and can install nodejs and a few other things, but it's pretty limited, it doesn't allow vms or docker.

Any help is appreciated!

Did you ever get this solved?

While I have no idea about the appliance, there seems to be toolchain for that:

Since people run QD on other ARM architectures, it should compile. FWIW You only need the qnetd (which runs on the Q device) from the package:
