Installation on Synology-NAS

[Ethratian]

Hello,

I tried to install Timeoff-Managment on my Synology NAS (Node is installed, for SQLite there is no package available for Synology) via PuTTy and received the following errors:

NAS:/volume1/web# git clone https://github.com/timeoff-management/app lication.git timeoff-management Cloning into 'timeoff-management'... remote: Enumerating objects: 7744, done. remote: Total 7744 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 7744 Receiving objects: 100% (7744/7744), 2.32 MiB | 3.65 MiB/s, done.

NAS:/volume1/web# cd timeoff-management NAS:/volume1/web/timeoff-management# npm install npm ERR! code Z_DATA_ERROR npm ERR! errno -3 npm ERR! zlib: invalid distance too far back

Any suggestions?

I was not able to "regularily" install the app on my Synology (lots of error messages). I use Docker and with a modified Dockerfile, its up and running now. If it is an option for you, I can send you my dockerfile

@BeckeBauer that would be really nice.

Could you send it to valedictorian@sol.at?

Thanks!

@BeckeBauer Would you maybe publish it as well? I am searching for a solution as well.

The dockerfile working for me looks like:

FROM node:12

EXPOSE 3000

RUN adduser --system app --home /app
USER app
WORKDIR /app

# clones timeoff-management into the folder timeoff - relevant if you mount your config folder
RUN git clone https://github.com/timeoff-management/application.git timeoff
WORKDIR /app/timeoff

RUN npm install

# MySQL and MariaDB driver - if do not want to use sqlite
RUN npm install --save mysql

CMD npm start

Does this work on Windows 10?

[BeckeBauer]

Haven't tried it on windows so I can't tell... sorry

[DannyL404]

ok, do you have any suggestions on how to get it working for me, I can't get the program to send emails regardless of what I try. I can host it on any operating system I can install on a pc, or Raspberry Pi. I am a beginner when it comes to this kind of stuff and would appreciate any help that I can get.

Thank you.

[BeckeBauer]

For me, emails worked after I modified the app.json

{
  "allow_create_new_accounts" : false,
  "send_emails"              : true,
  "application_sender_email" : "noreply@your.domain",
  "email_transporter" : {
    "host" : "mail.your.domain",
    "port" : 587,
    "auth" : {
      "user" : "your-email-username",
      "pass" : "your-email-password"
    }
  },
  "ga_analytics_on" : false,
  "crypto_secret" : "39letterssymbolsnumbers",
  "application_domain" : "https://timeoff.your.domain",
  "promotion_website_domain" : "https://timeoff.your.domain"
}

Assume you tried it?

[DannyL404]

Yes, which email provider did you use, I've tried Gmail and Hotmail, but office 365 would be the ideal. I want to try getting it working on a webserver as it running through localhost might be the issue. However, that is proving to be a pain, I am happy to install a dedicated thing to an old laptop or raspberry Pi to host it on. What do you suggest I try and if possible what to google to get me looking in the right direction. Thank you so much for your help.

[BeckeBauer]

I do not use an email provider, but I would have assumed that you just need to input the correct credentials... have you checked the logs?

[DannyL404]

Ahhh okay thank you, any suggestions on a web server to use? Again, thank you so much for your help :)

It won't download on my windows 10 pc, what OS did you use? All I am trying to do is host it across our network...

Set it up directly using Docker on DSM

Ok, I'll check it out.

Does it let you connect with an external DB (I am using MariaDB and would like to keep the data)?
