Setup Let’s Encryp Free SSL on QNAP NAS (TS-453A)

I just ended up using Yannik’s Git repository containing a already working shell script. The script uses acme-tiny to get a Certificate from Let’s Encrypt. Follow the instructions, if you’re a Windows user I recommend Putty. The only issue I had with Yannik’s guide was installing Git, see below:

Installing Git on QNAP TS-453A 

Getting Git running on my QNAP TS-453a was harder than i thought. I couldn’t find Git anywhere in “App Center”. Eventually I found a git qpkg file (QNAP application Package) that could be installed. I could only get version 2.1.0 working.

1. Download Git: “git_2.1.0_x86.qpkg“
2. Install Git in qnap: Go to qnap “App Center” and press on settings in top right corner. On tab “Install Manually” select “browse…” and upload/install the file above. Done!
