NAS setup
NOKL for NAS
NOKL for NAS is installed directly on the NAS.
It serves files to NOKL clients in a fast and efficient manner.
NOKL for NAS does not contain NOKL client, as mounting of remote disks on NASes is not usually needed.
NASes come from different manufactures, with different install procedures.
