Meta: DSM7 package status

[hgy59]

Overview of the status of packages for DSM7

Successfull build/install/run is tested with x64 only (unless otherwise stated).

As of may 2021 all pure CLI packages are ready to be published for DSM7. Please regard DSM7 packages still as beta.
The synocommunity package repository does not support beta packages per TCVERSION so it is not possible to mark packages as beta for DSM7 only.
Packages that other packages depend on are distingueshed in bold. Those should be published as early as possible.

Remarks:
¹⁾ Avoid link and usage of /usr/local/{package-name}
²⁾ Migrate mysql to mariadb-10
³⁾ Does not install due to required root privilege
⁴⁾ Installer uses unsupported function like set_unix_permissions, syno_remove_user, syno_group_create, syno_group_remove, syno_user_add_to_group, set_syno_permissions, syno_user_add_to_legacy_group
⁵⁾ Requires a dependent package that might not be published yet.
⁶⁾ SERVICE_WIZARD_SHARE is not supported for DSM7. Shared folders must be declared in resources and must be the name of the share (without volume).
⁷⁾ Packages that integrate into WebStation (web apps, web services) must register via WebStation webapi or use a Package Worker.
⁸⁾ target/var is not listed here, as migration is already implemented in current installer.
⁹⁾ Invalid version number. DSM7 validates $(SPK_VERS)-$(SPK_REV) with regex [^\d+(\.\d+){0,5}(-\d+)?$]. So only digits and dots are allowed in SPK_VERS.
¹⁰⁾ SERVICE_EXE needs migration to SERVICE_COMMAND.
¹¹⁾ As Python2 of DSM 7 comes neigther with pip nor virtualenv it looks like we have to deploy python2 for DSM 7 (at least for the single package ffsync that will never be ported to Python 3 as it is about to be migrated to Rust).

⛔ Packages that require root privilege to run will not be compatible with DSM7.
⌛ Packages that need root previlege for installation will not be compatible until synology allows permission settings for specific installation steps.
⚙️ Packages that need access to USB devices. synology might drop support for USB devices.

[Safihre]

@hgy59 Is there an overview of changes I need to make to get DSM7 compatibility for my package (sabnzbd)?

[publicarray]

@Safihre I suggest to start with the Wiki DSM7.0-Beta

For your package you may only need to change ${SYNOPKG_PKGDEST}/var to ${SYNOPKG_PKGVAR} and knowing set_syno_permissions won't be doing anything in DSM 7. Just inspect the log files if there are additional permission errors. Unfortunately I can't test DSM7 stuff for now, as I'm waiting for my replacement unit (possibly something wrong with the power/mobo inside my unit failed.) 😢

[Safihre]

So how do we handle the permissions?

[publicarray]

Generally you don't. Since you don't have root. DSM will chown the folders for you (using the package name) if you need other folders they need to be given in the resource worker or the user has to add the package from the DSM settings (look for "internal users" category) to a folder.

[Safihre]

Can we maybe update set_syno_permissions to do the service worker stuff?

[publicarray]

Under the DSM 7 restrictions I don't have a clear idea how that would work. Not saying it's impossible but even if done it wouldn't be backwards compatible anyway. If you're willing to contribute sure. But once you read DSM Developer Guide 7 0 Beta in full I think you might reconsider. IMHO the work required (if it's even possible with the new restrictions) to make it work is not worth the time.

I encourage you look at the transmission package. It allows only the user to choose a Shared Folder through the wizard.

The reality is that the NAS now manages the permissions, and packages only get a few selected knobs to play with. The permissions are in the user hands through the file manager and control center as "internal user" (IHMO that's a good thing. So malicious software can't just upload random files to a remote server)

[Safihre]

Sabnzbd also has a wizard already, but I don't quite see from the Transmission example what needs to be changed about it to make it work. Is it something in the name of the variable?
I have not really been part of the whole DSM 7 story, so I don't know what's already impmented in the framework. My own NAS can't even run it (old model), so I will admit that I am not very motivated to really dive deep just to update my 1 package. 😕

[DigitalBox98]

On DSM7.0, rabbitmq is failing to start due to incorrect service_postinst().
As indicate in #4539, the installer logs must be redesigned and fixed for DSM7.0 to allow many packages to work again :)

[daxcore]

update/repairing after update to dsm7 of umurmur fails because of

3. Does not install due to required root privilege

[publicarray]

@daxcore This is expected. Did you read our Readme.md? If you where to read the table above then you would see that everything is very much work in progress on the master branch. (no packages are published yet, but you can compile your own).

[hgy59]

@publicarray Thanks for the wiki-page DSM-7.0-Beta.

As we get closer to DSM 7.0, I wonder when we will rename this page (remove the beta). As all the existing links to this page will be broken by a rename, we might better start with a new wiki page for DSM 7.

We could wait for such a page until DSM 7 (final or RC1) is released and document validated facts only.

What would you prefer?

[publicarray]

I propose that relevant stuff in DSM-7.0-Beta is moved/copied to their respective wiki page (Permission Management, Generic Service Support etc.) and that we create a quick DSM7 upgrade guide or a quick dsm7 reference for developers (IMHO the detailed wikis tend to quite long, I think some stuff is repetitive and or It's hard to find a specific thing. It's good to have them tough especially for newcomers but a quick dot-point list like the DSM-7.0-beta is more digestible for a quick lookup, kinda like a cheat sheet. What do you think?
