Syncovery #327

Open LETRA opened 1 year ago

LETRA commented 1 year ago

Repository URL

Are you an owner? no

Is there a website for this repository? https://www.syncovery.com/syncovery9synology

Additional info

Syncovery is a great app that I have been using for several months but it has no repository. Maybe you could consider adding a section for sources that need to be installed manually so that valuable apps don't get lost.

Thanks for posting @LETRA I think it is good idea to have a list of software for Synology devices without valid repository for them. Some sources (like Bliss) have publish a static json file (https://www.blisshq.com/repo/syno/packages-DSM7.json) in the format that Package Center understands. This is the simplest solution for such provider and I miss it on Syncovery website. We could simply do it for them, however I'm not a big fan of such solution as we are not owning those SPK files.

I will think about links to websites with SPK files without repository, however I'm now engaged in other activity in my spare time so it have to wait.

I think Syncovery would be better known if Synology users could add their repository to the community sources. I am going to write to Syncovery support to see if they would want to publish a json file or for what reason they don't.

Great idea, I will try to make such a json file!

You may also try to host some SPK repository, like: https://github.com/jdel/sspks (PHP) https://github.com/jdel/gosspks (GO) https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spkrepo (Python)
