Synology (DSM)
Your Synology NAS desktop on your domain and with HTTPS, without QuickConnect or open ports.
Publish it
Before: the server installed («Install the server») and the agent's machine joined («Connect your machines»). With --preset, add sets this app's port, options and checks.
On the agent's machine
lnkstart add nas=192.168.1.30 --preset synology sudo lnkstart install
5000 is DSM's HTTP port. The agent runs on another machine in your network that is always on.
If DSM redirects HTTP to HTTPS, turn that redirect off in its settings: the agent speaks HTTP to it inside your network, and LnkStart provides the HTTPS outside. If you would rather not touch it, publish its HTTPS as it is: lnkstart add nas=https://192.168.1.30:5001 --preset synology. The agent pins DSM's own certificate the first time and refuses any other.
Good to know
- Turn on DSM's two-step verification: the desktop is on the Internet with its own login.
- With
--password, LnkStart also asks for a password before showing DSM. Fine in the browser; Synology's phone apps cannot fill it in.
