DLNA on Rockstor?

This is a question that seems so simple I am a little embarrassed for asking. But if I want DLNA support on a Rockstor NAS. What is the easiest way to enable it?

@AnthGood, for the most part, if you want to be able to use DLNA to stream/access your media, then you can install either the Plex Rockon, or jellyfin. Both of those provide DLNA as a standard. Finally, there is also the Logitech Mediaserver Rockon (update Sept. 2024: as Logitech’s LMS is no more, but it’s now a community project under the Lyrion Media server moniker, to which the Rockon has been updated to).

Finally, though not that much overhead using either of these, you can look at installing (at the OS level) something like this:

here you can get an OpenSUSE package:

There is also BubbleUPnP:

Interestingly, it offers a container based on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed (so you could build a custom Rockon or submit one to the official Rockstor Rockon repo), but I have not seen a package for it on OpenSUSE (haven’t looked really hard either).

So, you have some options
