                How to hack the "WD My Cloud Home Duo" into a decent home media center
              
          
    WD My Cloud Home Duo Hack


🚩 NOTE: in late 2022 WD introduced a firmware release in which they locked root user access over "serial connection". The methods described in this post are therefore irrelevant and do not work anymore. Feel free to discus other alternatives in the comments below. This was also the final firmware release for this product as it entered EOL in June 2023.

TL;DR

A simple How-To on turnning your WD My Cloud Home in to fully pledged Linux box and install some usefull apps (SSH & SFTP server, Torrent client, ...).

Connect to the device with USB serial cable.
