Script for Ubooquity 2.0.2 on Synology

8 years ago • updated by 7 years ago • 36

Hello,

in case somebody requires an update of the script for running ubooquity 2.0.2 on a synology NAS, here is mine. The procedure of installation is already described in the tutorial (look in the FAQ). This script is meant to go in :

>etc/init/ubooquity.conf

This is tested and it's working on my Synology DS212 [the NAS is quite old but it's still able to run ubooquity without (much) issue]

Here is the code, don't forget to adapt to your environnement, especially the installation folders: WORK_DIR, PCKG_DIR

and network and memory settings

# app settings
PORT=2202
ADMINPORT=2203
MEM=128m

I want to add a comment on the best way to run ubooquity on Synology: lately Synology has added the possibility to create and run scripts from within the GUI: we can define scripts and tell the NAS to run them at run time, before shut down, or periodically... this would be a perfect place to tell the NAS to run ubooquity at run time

This new feature would avoid ssh the NAS, manipulate the file system and we have to vi the conf file, with all the complexity it has for non-linux users: it's a lot simpler to create the script directly from that GUI.

My guess is that copying this code in the panel Synology has created for us would work, but I haven't tested this since I'm happy with how my script is working; but I believe it would be better to manage the script directly from the GUI, it might be safer too....

If someone feels like testing this new method for running ubooquity and let us know how it goes, it would be neat :-)
