Here's how to install the current version of Tonido on VortexBox:

0. Login to your VortexBox.

1. Download the latest Debian package for Tonido:

rm -rf /tmp/tonido
mkdir /tmp/tonido
cd /tmp/tonido
wget http://www.tonido.com/download.php?TonidoSetup_i686.deb
mv download.php\?TonidoSetup_i686.deb TonidoSetup.deb

2. Unpack the .deb archive to get data.tar.gz and control.tar.gz:

ar -xv TonidoSetup.deb
ls -l

Note: If you get

bash: ar: command not found

then install the binutils package to get the /usr/bin/ar command:

yum install binutils

Then try “ar -xv TonidoSetup.deb” again.

3. Save the previous installation, if it exists. Skip this step if there is no previous installation in /usr/local/tonido.

/usr/local/tonido/tonido.sh stop
mv /usr/local/tonido /usr/local/tonido.bak

4. Unpack data.tar.gz in / to create /usr/local/tonido, /usr/share/applications|menu|pixmaps, etc.:

cd /
tar -xvf /tmp/tonido/data.tar.gz

5. Start the Tonido server:

/usr/local/tonido/tonido.sh start

6. To enable administration from a remote browser, stop the server and edit /root/tonido/data/configex.xml:

/usr/local/tonido/tonido.sh stop
nano /root/tonido/data/configex.xml

Change the value of RemoteAdmin from 0 to 1. Write the file (control-o) and quit (control-x).

Then restart the server:

/usr/local/tonido/tonido.sh start

7. In a browser, go to the Tonido web interface at http://vortexbox-ip:10001 to create account, configure folders, etc. You can also access the Tonido web interface at https://accountname.tonidoid.com

8. To have Tonido autostart at boot, edit /usr/local/sbin/network_up.sh:

nano /usr/local/sbin/network_up.sh

Add the line

/usr/local/tonido/tonido.sh start

to the end of the file. Write the file (control-o) and exit (control-x).

9. Delete work files:

rm -rf /tmp/tonido

10. If you are happy with the new install, and want to delete the backup (if you created it in step 3):

rm -rf /usr/local/tonido.bak
