SynoCommunity is now on Discord!
DSM 7 was released on June 29 2021 as Version 7.0.41890.
- You find the status of the packages in the issue #4524 Meta: DSM7 package status
- If you are running DSM7, some packages that are not compatible may continue appear in the Package Center of your Disk Station.
- PLEASE do not create issues saying that package
xycannot be installed on DSM 7. All packages not yet ported to DSM 7 will refuse the installation with a message about "package requires root privileges" (or "invalid file format", ...). - Please regard all DSM 7 packages as beta versions (the synocommunity package repository is not capable to declare packages as beta only for DSM 7).
- ATTENTION: As reported, package configuration settings may be lost following the upgrade to DSM 7 and the execution of a Package repair. Make sure to backup your settings and configuration for your SynoCommunity packages before installation of DSM 7 to facilitate restoration if needed.
- Packages of the following kind will need some time to make DSM 7 compatible
- Packages depending on MySQL database must be migrated to MariaDB 10
- Packages that use an Installation Wizard to configure a shared folder (all download related packages and others)
- Packages that integrate into DSM Webstation
- As this is a community project where people contribue in their spare time, it may take awhile until packages are ported to DSM 7. (There are still packages here that are not ported from DSM 5 to DSM 6 yet).
spksrc is a cross compilation framework intended to compile and package software for Synology NAS devices. Packages are made available via the SynoCommunity repository.
Before opening a new issue, check the FAQ and search open issues. If you can't find an answer, or if you want to open a package request, read CONTRIBUTING to make sure you include all the information needed for contributors to handle your request.
The Docker development environment supports Linux and macOS systems, but not Windows due to limitations of the underlying file system.
- Fork and clone spksrc:
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/spksrc - Install Docker on your host OS (see Docker installation, or use a
wget-based alternative for linux Install Docker with wget). - Download the spksrc Docker container:
docker pull ghcr.io/synocommunity/spksrc - Run the container with the repository mounted into the
/spksrcdirectory with the appropriate command for your host Operating System:
cd spksrc # Go to the cloned repository's root folder.
# If running on Linux:
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/spksrc -w /spksrc ghcr.io/synocommunity/spksrc /bin/bash
# If running on macOS:
docker run -it -v $(pwd):/spksrc -w /spksrc -e TAR_CMD="fakeroot tar" ghcr.io/synocommunity/spksrc /bin/bash- From there, follow the instructions in the Developers HOW TO.
A virtual machine based on an 64-bit version of Debian 11 stable OS is recommended. Non-x86 architectures are not supported.
Install the requirements (in sync with Dockerfile):
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt update
sudo apt install autoconf-archive autogen automake autopoint bash bc bison \
build-essential check cmake curl cython3 debootstrap ed expect fakeroot flex \

- You may need to install some packages from testing like autoconf. Read about Apt-Pinning to know how to do that.
- Some older toolchains may require 32-bit development versions of packages, e.g.
zlib1g-dev:i386
A container based on 64-bit version of Debian 11 stable OS is recommended. Non-x86 architectures are not supported. The following assumes your LXD/LXC environment is already initiated (e.g. lxc init) and you have minimal LXD/LXC basic knowledge :
- Create a new container (will use x86_64/amd64 arch by default):
lxc launch images:debian/11 spksrc - Enable i386 arch:
lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/bin/dpkg --add-architecture i386 - Update apt channels:
lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/bin/apt update - Install all required packages:
lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/bin/apt install autoconf-archive autogen automake autopoint bash bc bison \
build-essential check cmake curl cython3 debootstrap ed expect fakeroot flex \
g++-multilib gawk gettext git gperf imagemagick intltool jq libbz2-dev libc6-i386 \

lxc exec spksrc -- /bin/bash -c "pip2 install virtualenv httpie"- Install
python3pip:
lxc exec spksrc -- /bin/bash -c "wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py -O - | python3"- Install
meson:
lxc exec spksrc -- /bin/bash -c "pip3 install meson==1.0.0"- By default it is assumed that you will be running as
spksrcuser into the LXC container. Such user needs to be created into the default container image:
lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/sbin/adduser --uid 1001 spksrc- Setup a default shell environment:
lxc exec spksrc --user 1001 -- cp /etc/skel/.profile /etc/skel/.bashrc ~spksrc/.From there you can connect to your container as spksrc and follow the instructions in the Developers HOW TO.
lxc exec spksrc -- su --login spksrc
spksrc@spksrc:~$lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/bin/apt install bash-completion man-db manpages-dev \
mlocate ripgrep rsync tree time
lxc exec spksrc -- /usr/bin/updatedbInstall github client:
$ lxc exec spksrc -- su --login root
# curl -fsSL https://cli.github.com/packages/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg | sudo dd of=/usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg
# echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/githubcli-archive-keyring.gpg] https://cli.github.com/packages stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/github-cli.list > /dev/null
# sudo apt update
# sudo apt install gh
# exit
You can create a shared user between your Debian/Ubuntu host and the LXC Debian container which simplifies greatly file management between the two. The following assumes you already created a user spksrc with uid 1001 in your Debian/Ubuntu host environment and that you which to share its /home userspace.
- Create a mapping rule between the hosts and the LXC image:
lxc config set spksrc raw.idmap "both 1001 1001"
lxc restart spksrc
Remapping container filesystem- Add
/home/spksrcfrom the hsot to the LXC container:
lxc config device add spksrc home disk path=/home/spksrc source=/home/spksrc
Device home added to spksrc- Connect as
spksrcuser:
lxc exec spksrc -- su --login spksrc
spksrc@spksrc:~$The following assume you have a running proxy on your LAN setup at IP 192.168.1.1 listening on port 3128 that will allow caching files.
- Enforce using a proxy:
lxc config set spksrc environment.http_proxy http://192.168.1.1:3128
lxc config set spksrc environment.https_proxy http://192.168.1.1:3128- Enforce using a proxy with
wgetin the spksrc container user account:
lxc exec spksrc --user $(id -u spksrc) -- bash -c "cat << EOF > ~spksrc/.wgetrc
use_proxy = on
http_proxy = http://192.168.1.1:3128/
https_proxy = http://192.168.1.1:3128/
ftp_proxy = http://192.168.1.1:3128/
