Pre-installation

To install it, you will need several other things first :

  1. Git, to be installed as explained here.
  2. Composer, to be installed as explained here.

Get the sources

Now, open a SSH Console using Putty, log in as an administrator and enter the root mode.

Look for the Git URL of the SSPKS project : https://github.com/jdel/sspks.git

Clone GitHub Repository
Clone GitHub Repository

In the SSH console, type the command:

cd

git clone https://github.com/jdel/sspks.git

You should see the following output:

Cloning into ‘sspks’…

remote: Total 1443 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 1443
Receiving objects: 100% (1443/1443), 1.31 MiB | 705.00 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (717/717), done.
Checking connectivity… done

complete the source

Run the following command (it’s using the script named “composer” created as illustrated in the How to “install Composer on Synology”):

cd sspks

composer install –no-dev

It should display the following output:

Generating autoload files

Next, move the complete stuff to your web site and link it with a folder ‘package’ where you will store your spk files. Here, I am using a folder in the web repository.

cd..

cp -R sspks /var/services/web/sspks

cd /var/services/web/

mkdir packages

cd sspks

chmod o+w cache

rm -R packages

ln -s /var/services/web/packages packages

In a browser, open the test page: http://<your NAS>/sspks/selftest.php

If everything is OK, copy now some spk filez in to the ‘package’ folder (I.e.: in \\<Your_NAS>\web\packages). For each spk file named XXX.spk, add:

  • its logo named XXX_thumb_72.png (size 72×72)
  • its logo named XXX_thumb_120.png (size 120×120)
  • its INFO file named XXX.nfo
    • This one can be extracted from the spk

Finally, open the main page: http://<your NAS>/sspks

Et voilà.
