=== 2024: no hibiscus-server for Postbank without desktop hibiscus ===
The Postbank HBCI/FinTS framework goes into a confirmation dialogue once in a while,
and hibiscus-server cannot solve that on its own.
Only desktop hibiscus can help.
hibiscus-server and hibiscus must run on the same database for that purpose,
and this can only be on MariaDB.

=== running hibiscus-server on a Synology DiskStation ===

''rcjameica'' is the perfect way to control your hibiscus-server.
The ''conditio sine qua non'' is a functional /etc/rc.status (from openSUSE).
(I simply removed the code chunk from it, that makes use of /usr/bin/mountpoint.)

If you got rcjameica running, execute it like this:

<pre>
USER@DiskStation999 $ ~/hibiscus-server-2.6.11/rcjameica {start|stop|restart|status}
</pre>

If you do not have a functional rcjameica, then execute jameicaserver.sh instead:

<pre>
USER@DiskStation999 $ ~/hibiscus-server-2.6.11/jameicaserver.sh
</pre>

It is also writing its output to ~/.jameica/jameica.log,
so don't mind capturing it yourself.

In order to disconnect the script resp. the server from the console
simply background it:

<pre>
^Z # suspend the utility running
USER@DiskStation999 $ bg # background it
</pre>

In order to take it down:
<pre>
USER@DiskStation999 $ pstree -p # find the java process just beneath hibiscus-server
USER@DiskStation999 $ kill THAT_PROCESS
</pre>

=== when you find your hibscus server hanging ===

Sometimes I find a series of this message in my ~/.jameica/jameica.log :
<pre>
synchronization already running, cancel current run
</pre>

If it is a series (and not just a single occurrence), the software is presumably dead-locked,
and you may want to create the Java process's thread dump as described here (the Java runtime system dumps its thread tree to stdout, if it receives SIGQUIT):

=== story: running "Hibiscus Payment-Server" on a Synology DiskStation ===
yes, I know, I should purge this.

* https://www.synology.com/en-global/releaseNote/JavaManager
* Synology's JavaManager assists in installing Oracle's JVM <strong>successfully</strong>
* I succeeded running the hibiscus server shell script to start the hibiscus server
* I have operated the hibiscus server successfully for months now on openSUSE VMs
* my previous self-installed Oracle JVM were <strong>unsuccessful</strong> attempts
* just as I operated the openSUSE based hibiscus servers, the Synology BusyBox+IPKG based hibiscus server seems to run <strong>stably</strong> and <strong>successfully</strong> for now
* i.e. "all" my bank accounts, that I can communicate with through HBCI/FinTS, are now getting synchronised to databases on my local NAS twice an hour (or as often as I want); this synchronisation happens <strong>independently</strong> of any desktop or notebook PC being online
* another piece of software (developed by myself) dumps these databases to CSV-like bank statement text files, and informs me of changes to them through XMPP AKA Jabber communication
* corruption of the hibiscus-server databases does not hurt me at all – it is only a means to communicate with the banks – it's just that the bank-enforced HBCI/FinTS communication isn't stateless and stores records on databases   – everything I need in the end are the CSV-like text files – setting up the bank account details on hibiscus-server is a piece of cake

== which database to use ==

<pre>
öffne die Datei "cfg/de.willuhn.jameica.hbci.rmi.HBCIDBService.properties" in einem Texteditor und passe die Zugangsdaten zur Datenbank an:
-> /usr/local/hibiscus-server/cfg/de.willuhn.jameica.hbci.rmi.HBCIDBService.properties
...
Wenn Du keine externe Datenbank nutzen möchtest, dann lösche einfach diese Konfigurationsdatei. 
Der Server wird beim ersten Start automatisch eine verschlüsselte Embedded-Datenbank (H2) erstellen.
