Hi,

I have a couple of questions, I currently have Kodi 17, PMP, Amazon Prime and Chrome installed via App Central and residing in the ASPortal. Do the apps in myHD affect those apps or is it separate from those?
Do I need Linux Center installed or does Ubuntu do the same thing?
If this is a "shell or vm" what is the performance like? I have an AS7004t with 10 gigs.
Thanks.
myHD and
Kodi18, 17, pmp inside are TOTALLY independent (and for APKG build by me for Asportal before ... at an updated version)
myHD and companion can run in version of A.D.M. 2.6 and 3.3 Beta without change
myHD is an isolated (chroot + namespace) Ubuntu 16.04 (up to Asustor move libva to 1.8.3 or more when we can update to 18.04) environment (hidden) DON'T require any other piece of software or APKG (only Apache web server is useful for administration even command line is more complete for the moment)
... so NO V.M., no Linux Center ... the interest of this solution : it's like a Linux Center(so update will be done by Ubuntu package tools ... so immediately available WITHOUT the need to wait for a new APKG)
BUT applications in myHD (in contrary of Linux Center) use Asportal (like previous applications) and the Xorg provide by Asustor ... so no difference for the user ... but also with restriction attached to Asustor delivery (limited windows manager, no multitask, "old" libva (video acceleration) libraries).
myHD consomme NOTHING except a small memory footprint when nothing run inside, but use same CPU and just a little more memory when an application run as
Kodi18 or
PMP ... so having 2 GB or more (better) are require.
I own only a unique AS5002T ... so I can't know if some specific things are needed on new series or model.
myHD use the A.D.M. network stack ... so can use as any application your 10 GBits link

Read the install procedure with a pre-download of files require to gain time for installation.
