About this Repository

This Repository contains a list of folders with "Package Sources" for Synology. I have created those for my own purpose:

  • by modifying existing Synology Packages (Ex.: 'MODS SSPKS' which is a modification of Julien Del-Piccolo's Simple SPK Server)
  • by creating my own Packages (Ex.: 'MODS Package Manager' which is a package to help in moving packages from a volume to another)
  • by packaging existing applications (Ex.: 'MODS Server Monitor' is a package to deploy Php Server Monitor on Synology)

Those 'Package Folders' can be opened with "Mods Packager", a Windows UI I wrote to build SPK files (Synology Packages). Briefly said: run "Mods Packager" and open any of the folders available here, either by using the menu "File > Open" or by drag&dropping the folder or the .spk file onto Mods Packager's Main UI.

If you want to start your own package from a sample, I suggest to look at "MODS Dummy" if you are using a DSM 6.x or lower. If you are using a DSM 7.x Beta, look at "MODS Dummy 7.x"

As Packages for DSM 6.x and older are not supported anymore by DSM 7.x, I have created two lists:

  1. Packages for DSM 6.x (and older)
  2. Packages for DSM 7.x

Install those Packages

You can download the Package Folders, which contains also the spk files... But those are theoretically also published on my own 'SPK server' available here

Add https://olympe.letroye.be/sspks/ into the Package Sources of Package Center's settings.

You install those packages at your own risk! I highly recommend you to test them in a Virtual DSM first:

  1. Using Xpenology in VMWare:
  1. Using a DSM Virtual Machine

About CGI Routers

Most of my Packages are using a "CGI router". This is a trick used to run php scripts (web pages) without any dependency on the Synology Web Station and the Package Init_3rdparty (A package enabling applications to run php scripts outside the root web folder).

See details about CGI Routers here:

  1. for DSM 6.x
  2. for DSM 7.x
