How to set up a Synology NAS to run SeedDMS
|
|
*********************************************
|
|
|
|
**This guide has been updated and tested to work on Synology DSM 6.0. It should as well work with older DMS versions, however some steps or paths may be different.**
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
############
|
|
SeedDMS is a feature rich and lightweight document management system. Unfortunately, some of the tools which are part of many Linux distros, have not been made available by
|
|
Synology and therefore require additional steps to bring them to your Synology.
|
|
|
|
This guide covers the installation of the required tools to have all features of SeedDMS available. It does not cover the installation of 3rd party programs (like OPKG). It
|
|
does not cover the installation of SeedDMS as well, please refer to the separate README.Install.md file.
|
|
|
|
Prerequisites
|
|
#############
|
|
In order to complete the steps outlined below, you must be able to carry out the following tasks:
|
|
|
|
* Use the command line and know essential commands
|
|
* Install a 3rd party package system and install packages using this system
|
|
|
|
To complete the installation, the following prerequisites on your Synology must be met:
|
|
|
|
* IPKG or OPKG (OPKG preferred) installed
|
|
* PEAR installed from the Synology Package Center
|
|
|
|
Installation and configuration
|
|
##############################
|
|
|
|
In the following steps, you will first install the required packages, followed by doing the neccesary configurations. These steps
|
|
must be done on the terminal.
|
|
|
|
Install Ghostscript
|
|
***************************
|
|
|
|
The first step is to install Ghostscript to make ImageMagick capable of converting PDF files to images which are then used for previews.
|
|
Use IPKG or OPKG to complete this step.
|
|
|
|
Make Ghostscript available to PHP
|
|
*****************************************
|
|
|
|
To check where Ghostscript is installed run *which gs* to get the installation path. Now check if this path is visible to PHP. To check this,
|
|
use phpinfo and find **_SERVER["PATH"]**. If you can't find /opt inside, PHP can't see applications installed there. You can now either try to
|
|
update the paths or just make a symlink.
|
|
To create the symlink, cd to /usr/bin and type *ln -s /opt/bin/gs gs*. Verify the created symlink.
|
|
|
|
Fix ImageMagick
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
Not only Ghostscript is affected by bugs, the default configuration files for ImageMagick are missing. Unfortunately some work is required here as well.
|
|
|
|
To check where ImageMagick looks for it's files, invoke the command *convert -debug configure logo: null:*. You will see some paths shown, these
|
|
are the paths where ImageMagic tries to locate it's configuration files. The first path shown will point to */usr/share/ImageMagick-6* followed by the
|
|
name of an XML file. At the very end of the output you will see which configuration file has been loaded, in the default setting there will be an error.
|
|
|
|
Point to */usr/share* and check if you can find the **ImageMagick-6** directory. If is not present, create it. Cd into the directory.
|
|
|
|
Next step is to fill the directory with files. Use the following list to download the files (credit goes to Thibault, http://blog.taillandier.name/2010/08/04/mediawiki-sur-son-nas-synology/).
|
|
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/coder.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/colors.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/configure.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/delegates.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/english.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/francais.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/locale.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/log.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/magic.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/mime.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/policy.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/thresholds.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/type-ghostscript.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/type-windows.xml
|
|
* wget http://www.imagemagick.org/source/type.xml
|
|
|
|
Testing
|
|
*************
|
|
|
|
Now you should be ready to test. Put a PDF file in a directory, cd into this directory.
|
|
|
|
To test convert directly, invoke the following command (replace file.pdf with your filename, replace output.png with your desired name):
|
|
|
|
**convert file.pdf output.png**
|
|
|
|
If everything goes well you should now receive a png file which can be opened. There may be a warning message about iCCP which can be ignored.
|
|
|
|
If you want to test Ghostcript as well, invoke the follwing command:
|
|
|
|
**gs -sDEVICE=pngalpha -sOutputFile=output.png -r144 file.pdf**
|
|
|
|
This command should go through without any errors and as well output a png file.
|
|
|
|
If the tests above are successful, you are ready to use SeedDMS Preview.
|
|
|
|
Install PEAR packages
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
This step is similar to the installation on other Linux distros. Once you installed PEAR from the Package Center you can call it from the command line.
|
|
|
|
The following packages are required by SeedDMS:
|
|
|
|
* Auth_SASL
|
|
* HTTP_WebDAV_Server
|
|
* Log
|
|
* Mail
|
|
* Net_SMTP
|
|
|
|
Install these packages, then go to the next step.
|
|
|
|
Install additional packages
|
|
***************************
|
|
|
|
SeedDMS uses other small tools (for example the Slim Framework) to add some additional functionality. At the moment (Version 5.0.x) the list contains the following
|
|
tools:
|
|
|
|
* FeedWriter
|
|
* Slim
|
|
* parsedown
|
|
|
|
Copy the tools to a folder on your Synology. Using the console, copy the tools to **/volume1/@appstore/PEAR**.
|
|
Copy the whole folders as they are and do not change the structure. As the PEAR directory is already within
|
|
the PHP include path, no further configuration is required to get them working.
|
|
|
|
Fulltext Index
|
|
***************
|
|
|
|
If you do not intend to use the fulltext index, please skip this section and continue with the readme file to
|
|
install SeedDMS.
|
|
|
|
To create the fulltext index, SeedDMS needs to be able to convert the documents to text files to read the terms
|
|
out. Pdftotext is already available by default, so we just need to take care of the Microsoft Office formats.
|
|
|
|
For this guide, the following two tools have been selected:
|
|
|
|
docx2txt available from http://docx2txt.sourceforge.net/
|
|
|
|
xlsx2csv available from http://github.com/dilshod/xlsx2csv
|
|
|
|
Copy both files to your Synology.
|
|
|
|
**docx2txt**
|
|
|
|
This program runs without any kind of installation. Create a folder on your Synology and extract the contents of the archive.
|
|
|
|
In SeedDMS you can now configure the setting for Word documents to the path where you extracted the files in the step before. Point
|
|
to the docx2txt.sh file and you are done.
|
|
|
|
To make the configuration more simple you can add a symlink in **/usr/bin**. This will allow you to call docx2txt from any location of your Synology.
|
|
The symlink must point to docx2txt.sh to get it working. In SeedDMS you can now just configure docx2txt followed by any additional commands.
|
|
|
|
**xlsx2csv**
|
|
|
|
This one must be installed to get it working. The installation script is written in Python, so you need to get Python installed on your Synology.
|
|
As the version available from Synology does not properly work (you can't install PIP) it is strongly recommended to use OPKG or IPKG to install Python.
|
|
|
|
Install Python and PIP. Once completed, point to the directory where you copied xlsx2csv. Unpack the archive, then execute the installer (pip install xlsx2csv).
|
|
|
|
Once completed, xlsx2csv is available and can be configured within SeedDMS.
|
|
|
|
Complete the installation
|
|

Now you are ready to install SeedDMS and configure the database. Follow the README file to install SeedDMS. |
