The following is a quick guide on getting basic status LED functionality working with TrueNAS running on the UGREEN DXP4800 Plus. Theoretically, it should work on all models (with some small revisions to the script), but I only have a DXP4800 Plus. :)
This guide is for cron job that runs a script to update the LEDs every couple minutes, but I'm sure the following can be modified for blinky LEDs as well.
- Manually build or download the
ugreen_leds_clitool from https://github.com/miskcoo/ugreen_dx4600_leds_controller. - Plop it somewhere on your NAS (E.g. a dataset).
- In the same dataset, create your
.shscript that controls the LEDs. At the bottom of this gist is my modified version of meyergru's. - Make the script executable:
chmod +X your-script.sh.- You may also need to make
ugreen_leds_cliexecutable as well.
- You may also need to make
- In TrueNas, navigate over to
System Settings→Advanced - Under

Enable i2c-dev - Type:
Command - Command:
modprobe i2c-dev - When:
Pre Init
- Description:
- Under
Cron Jobswe then create a task to run every x minutes:- Description:
Update Status LEDS - Command:
/mnt/path/to/your/script.sh - Run as User:
root - Schedule:

- Description:
- Reboot and wait a bit for your cron job to run.

Thank you very much for these instructions! It worked for me.
I had to set ownership and group of the shell script and ugreen_leds_cli to the root user. Than I did chmod +X your-script.sh under the root
user in the Truenas shell. I enabled the root user password.
I had to change the zpool command to /sbin/zpool because sbin is not in the PATH definition.
The instruction is difficult for somebody without Unix knowledge.
