Synology ipkg package

[hkalman]

Hello,

I would like to ask you to create ipkg packages for Synology Diskstations too when you create a new release.

Thanks

@hkalman I'm not sure how to prepare them, are they supported by fpm?

[ludimassa]

no synology don't have fpm by default

It is very important also for my project install it on synology!

An alternative way is install docker on synology but I don't like this solutions

I don't think this is going to be an easy thing to do natively.
Synology DSM 6.2.x (latest stable today) uses Linux kernel 4.4.59 and uses a proprietary package system, it doesn't use apt, pacman.
By having the x86-64 compiled package it's missing libXrender1 (and maybe other libraries).
I think the best approach would be to use Docker.

Some other links with people having the same issue (for recent Synology DSM):

• Inline docker container support barryvdh/laravel-snappy#384 << my approach for using with a laravel package

If there is an image available on DockerHub which allows you to install all the libraries, you can try to port it similarly to the support for other OS/architectures. Otherwise, I think @icaroscherma's suggestion to just use docker makes the most sense 😄
