This is an old revision of the document!
Here's how to install the current version of Tonido on 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
