FAQ

  • A: The size of each package is displayed next to its version in the package list. The current state of Free/Total memory usage is displayed in in the top-right corner of the list.
  • Q: I installed a software package, how do I configure it?
  • A: After the installation of a package, a related configuration page is generated somewhere in the WebUI, depending on the packages purpose. Information on where to find each page can be found in the Available packages section of this Wiki page and related configuration guides can be found in the See also section below.
