Getting Elodie running on Synology DSM

  • Install python
  • Install pip
  • Install virtualenv
  • Install virtualenvwrapper
  • Install git (server) through DSM Package Manager
  • Install perl through DSM Package Manager
  • Install exiftool through CPHub (https://www.cphub.net/?id=40&pid=609)
  • Clone elodie from Github (https://github.com/jmathai/elodie)
  • Make virtualenv mkvirtualenv elodie
  • Activate virtualenv (workon elodie)

Optional to make drag/drop from Finder easier

Drag and drop from Finder needs to reflect the same file path as what the Synology sees to work. We can get that to function correctly by setting up the proper symlinks.

  • Get the path to the network mounted Synology drive from OS X (i.e. /Volumes/home)
  • SSH to your Synology (enable SSH if you need)
  • sudo mkdir -p /Volumes/home
  • sudo ln -s /var/services/homes/jmathai/photo-library /Volumees/home/photo-library
