Build packages for synology

[artemklevtsov]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I can't install netbird on my synology nas.

Describe the solution you'd like build packages for synology dsm7 for the arm64 and amd64.

Describe alternatives you've considered Use netbird in docker container.

Additional context no context needed.

@tbc0309 already do it here but without share build scripts.

@artemklevtsov is there something more generic that you can share with the community?

[artemklevtsov]

I would just like to get the official support of the synology nas.

Thanks guys, we will have a look at it for the next quarter.

Looking forward to it. If possible please include a package compatible with the ARMv7 architecture.

A Synology package is not a Solution. We have seen this with numerous other projects, the maintenance is slow so you will be versions behind and eventually getting dropped. Not only that but the proprietary Synology application saves the data in hidden folders in the filesystem, making access edit and backup a nightmare.

The Best solution for Synology would be the adaptation of the script so it only creates you the docker compose file + evn file that you then can easily load it to Portainer and start your stack like a BOSS.

This way you can also decide not to use docker Volumes but mount persistent data to your Synology, making accessing of the data, edit and backup a simple task instead.

There is no other way really......

Synologies running on an ARMv7 do not support docker.

Synologies running on an ARMv7 do not support docker.

That is so unfortunate. Maybe i need to make a new issue for the docker install support then.

[tbc0309]

The official Netbird build does not provide ARMv7 binary file, which means I cannot easily create a package for Synology ARMv7 NAS.

Can docker be used to setup netbird then?

I managed to run the docker container without any luck of accessing it through the netbird network. It still shows as not connected. First I had an issue with /dev/net/tun not being found inside docker and now when I added --device it gives me a timeout:

sudo docker run --rm --name synology-dsXXX --hostname synology-dsXXX --device /dev/net/tun --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN --cap-add=SYS_RESOURCE -d -e NB_SETUP_KEY=XXXXX -v netbird-client:/etc/netbird netbirdio/netbird:latest

and the logs from the container:

Hmm one of the reasons I use tailscale now, is because they have a package for synology.

I have a synology placed with family and by tailscale I can connect wherever I am even if their IP changes.
