I think you should put a link to PlingStore on your Overlord web site. And a link to your web site in your announcements! :) I googled for Overlord and found your site, then had no idea what PlingStore was and had to google for that too. Then I downloaded it and it doesn’t work (can’t connect to server, I suspect it isn’t detecting a web proxy) but that’s not your problem! |

FYI – PlingStore is supplied “as standard” with the Pi SD card image. But, yes, it could do with a bit more exposure on other systems. |

Hi Rik, Did you get PlingStore to work? If not please e-mail me and I’ll speak to R-Comp to see if I can help get it working. Regards, |
