Ugreen Nas Led

TrueNAS General
1

As the Ugreen Nas with Truenas installed not showing useful Led Infos, I have with the Help of Chatgpt created a script for disk status and a script for network activity.

The disk script runs every minute with a cronejob.
The led script i run as a service started with a postinit command. Additional the needed driver for the leds is started with a preinit command.
I had also to download the led cli available on the internet.

With that config i have now useful Led Status on the ugreen Nas.

If someone is interested, i could share my scripts which are working with a ugreen nas DXP8800 Plus

Would be nice if truenas probably support it some time later native. But for now it works with the scripts

You’re aware of this, right?

No. When I have searched I think I haven’t found that.

As it install kernel modules it has to be installed on every update again right?

As mine is working only with integrated gui functions it should be keept even after updates.

True. But it’s considerably more responsive than the script-based method I’d used previously. Pros and cons, as with most things.

@memzila I’ve installed Truenas scale on a DXP 4800 (non-pro) and I’m looking for an option to control the LEDs, but most frequent answers point to the link that @dan shared. Since it is lost in every update, I’m looking for another approach. Can you create a simple guide that I can follow? Thanks.
