I have a WD MyCloud 2TB NAS WDBCTL0020HWT-EESN running BusyBox Linux v1.20.2 and as I am getting a lot of sync errors I would like to flush the BusyBox and replace it with Ubuntu and install NextCloud on it.

Edit 1

Busybox is rather limited with the choice of commands to view hardware info so here is my humble try to get some hardware info to ask if Ubuntu is compliant with this.

The built-in processor:

Can Ubuntu 16.04 lts server or Ubuntu Core run on this architecture?

Edit 2

If Ubuntu supports the ARMADA 375, how can this be installed on this headless NAS?

  • Hi, I went through your post. Is there a way I can do without using the WD Recovery as I really don't like it at all and have 16.04 Lts server instead. – Fab Jan 02 '17 at 13:51
  • That's not actually my post. It's just something I found. But, this question is not really suited for this site. I think you'd be better off asking on the WD forums. – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Jan 02 '17 at 18:21
  • Please vide Edit 2. I still need to find out if Ubuntu is compliant with the Armada 375 before I attempt the install, not to brick the device. – Fab Jan 02 '17 at 22:19
  • @Fab: According to AndroidDev's link one can run Debian on those devices so Ubuntu should work too and, most importantly, will not brick the device as you can just put the old operating system back onto the hard drive. You could even create a clone of the current state as a backup. – David Foerster Jan 02 '17 at 22:51
  • @David Foerster Thanks for that. The problem that remains is how to do the install on this headless NAS – Fab Jan 03 '17 at 08:29
  • That wasn't your question though. You only asked if the hardware supports Ubuntu. You can open a new question if you want. – David Foerster Jan 03 '17 at 09:47
  • Sorry for the misunderstanding, I had done such in Edit 2 – Fab Jan 03 '17 at 10:33
