LmsUpdate and LmsRepack - Synology 8.0.* packages

[cfuttrup]

Docker works on my Synology DS415+ ... but my first attempt failed. Is there a step-by-step (how-to) instruction anywhere?

I haven't been able to. Seem to have the same issue on the apnar image as well.

I also had this problem. The synology gui makes it look like docker volumes work through shared folders, but that's actually not true. When you map the music folder to /music in the container, under the covers you get a bind mount of /volume1/music to a place in the container, and the level of access you get is determined by file system permissions. When I looked at /volume1/music on my system (using ssh) the mode was d---------+, meaning no access. I chmod'ed it to dwrxw-xw-x and everything started working.

I have no idea why it (and some other shared directories) were like that. I pulled my previous synology out of storage and checked, and all of the shared directories on that had sensible modes.

Correction, I chmod'ed to drwxr-xr-x (755).

Here is link to the link with some updated info and notes about permissions.. Tested it from scratch using gui and it works fine.. Good luck

Hi Jaca

Thank you for the link. It is helpful because it describes how to change the permissions to the lms folder, but it still isn't working for me.


Here is what I did:

1) Install Docker. It's simple, you just get it from Package Center. I don't remember doing anything special.

2) Open Docker. Go to 'Registry' and search for 'lmscommunity' - click the found image file. You get to
choose a tag. I chose 'stable' ... then push DOWNLOAD.

3) In the docker directory on the Synology Diskstation, I have made a subdirectory named 'lms' and inside that
directory I've made a subsubdirectory named 'config' ...

4) Once the docker container is downloaded, in the Docker app, I went to 'Image' and found the downloaded
image of LMS. Double-click the image and a dialog box shows up, where you configure the LMS docker container.

5) First config page is the 'General settings' and here I enabled 'Enable resource limitation' and set CPU
priority to LOW + memory limit to 1 GB (the machine has 2 GB). Normally LMS should require much less than this.

6) In the General settings config page I then click the button 'Advanced settings' and this opens up a dialog box
with 6 tabs:

- Advanced settings
- Volume
- Network
- Port Settings
- Links
- Environment

In the first tab I 'Enable auto-restart'
In the second tab I push 'Add Folder' button and I add docker/lms/config and I specify the mount path: /config
In the same way I add /music as /music
I also add /music/Playlists as /playlists
Then I push the Apply button

I did not change anything about Port Settings, which BTW means TCP/UPD = 3483 and 3483, and also a couple of TCP
ports are listed, these are 9000 and 9090.

I did not add any Links (the list is empty).

In the Environment tab, I changed PUID to 1026. I saw someone in the forum mention this worked for him/her. Indeed
my admin account is disabled (as recommended by the Security Advisor) and my admin has a different name, etc. I
SSH'ed into my machine and found that the $UID = 1026 for this admin account.

I did not change anything else in the Environment tab, and I see that HTTP_PORT = 9000.

When I execute in a browser the command http://myip:9000/ ... then LMS doesn't show up and the browser gives the
classical error "This site can't be reached" ...

Just in case this was interfering with the 'other' LMS server (the original Synology package from pinkdot), I stopped
this service. This doesn't change anything.

Is anyone able to spot what I am missing? Above is exactly what I have done, no more and no less.

I did not specify /music and /playlists folders as read-only. Is this important?

claus@DS415P:/volume1/docker$ ls -la
total 24
drwxrwxrwx+ 5 root root 4096 Feb 19 18:48 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Jan 31 12:26 ..
drwxrwxrwx+ 3 root root 4096 Jan 31 12:26 @eaDir
drwxrwxrwx+ 3 claus users 4096 Feb 19 18:48 lms

I've tried to change the port setting for 9000 to 9002 instead and then I also changed HTTP_PORT = 9002. I still cannot load LMS into my browser.

The lms container runs in 'bridge' mode. It's the default.

You'll have to tell DSM to use the exact same ports. Otherwise it would
assign a random port to them by default.

[Jaca]

Hmmm maybe try in host mode instead..
I had to use host mode as with bridge mode and pinkdot's package (even when stopped) I wasn't able to add any players to this lms instance. Eventually after while I uninstalled package and got it working in bridge mode.

I might me wrong but from my experience if your docker container crashed after few seconds then you most likely have permission issue with /config.

If your container works but it does not behave as expected then probably its ports issue/conflict


PS wasn't playlists folder supposed to be /playlist not
/playlists? That should not make gui inaccessible though.

How do I do that?

My DSM uses port 5000 and 5001.

you can use the following snippet

save it as lms.json and import it into your synology docker via the import menu
of course you have to adapt the folder paths. Also the PUID, PGID, and your TZ variable.
Good liuck!
