feat: native synology package #126

rclip is a great app to have at hand in a NAS and I use a Synology NAS. rclip can be installed using the command line on the NAS but to run a query, ssh connection must be made. Ideally, if the web browser support is implemented (#119), it would also be nice to have a Synology package (https://help.synology.com/developer-guide/getting_started/first_package.html).

Apart from that, what is your suggested way of running rclip on a Synology NAS?

Hi @Fethbita, thank you for your suggestion!

I myself use rclip on my Synology NAS. I installed it using the AppImage method, described here: https://github.com/yurijmikhalevich/rclip?tab=readme-ov-file#appimage-self-contained-x86_64-executable

My rclip usage flow is to:

I really like AppImage because it allows me to run rclip on any Linux system (it was the first rclip installation method I implemented). Still, the current limitations of the AppImage installation are:

  1. You won't get automatic updates.
  2. Running the AppImage version of rclip is slower than it should be because AppImage has to unpack itself every time you run the app.

I plan to add the Synology NAS package to improve the execution speeds, and I will keep this GHA open to track the progress on that.
