Is it possible to extract an app and containerize it? #137

Closed lenaxia closed 9 hours ago

Specific use case is pulling Syno photos out and running it on a separate server with folders mapped back to the Syno. I'd also be interested in providing an external postgres as I am running one in k3s with automatic backups.

I want to do this to provide more compute power behind photos.

Unfortunately I don't have experience in containerizing an app.

Modifying Synology Photos to use an external postgres database would require reverse engineering. And I suspect Synology's lawyers might not be to impressed if I started reverse engineering Synology Photos.

You can extract the Synology Photos spk file with https://github.com/007revad/Synology_Archive_Extractor if you want to have a look at the package.
