synoindex-server

synoindex-server is a web service wrapper for Synology NAS native 'synoindex'.

Introduction

Since Synology DSM 6.0 comes Docker support. Users run many media services in the docker. But we can't notify Synology NAS to reindexing new files in the docker's container. We can run synoindex inside the docker's container and request simple-synoindex-server to calling native synoindex to reindexing your new files. This is a python implementation with a bit more control over http-server that runs in the background.

based on:

• 'simple-synoindex-server' (https://github.com/racklin/simple-synoindex-server) for x86 or x64 cpu
• Python port (https://github.com/jhyun15/synoindex-server).

Setup

Requirement

Required python (>=3.0) Tested on Synology DS218+.

Install

1. Download python file to any directory. (ex. /volume1/homes/admin)
2. Run 'synoindex_server_native.py' by task scheduler when boot-up with ipaddress and port command line argument

python3 /volume1/homes/admin/synoindex_server_native.py ipadress port

Usage

Passing arguments to synoindex from webbrowser

Example: force indexer to reindex the folder /volume1/download

http://192.168.0.1:9998/synoindex/?args=-R&args=/volume1/download

Shut down server

Example: force indexer to reindex the folder /volume1/download

#!/bin/bash
http://192.168.0.1:9998/shutdown

Initiate index from Transmission torrent client

When running Transmission in a docker environment. A new script can be written that initiates the indexer using e.g curl

#!/bin/bash
curl -G -d "args=-R" -d "args=/volume1/download" http://192.168.0.1:9998/synoindex

Next Transmission should be instructed to run that script upon completion. This can be done in the settings.json of transmission.
