Python CLI for Synology DSM.

Dependencies

• PyYaml

• pip install requests or easy_install requests

Installation

pip install syncli

OR

git clone https://github.com/singhsaysdotcom/syncli.git ~/syncli

ln -sf ~/syncli/syncli/syncli.py /usr/local/bin/syncli

Usage

Basic syntax is syncli --host <hostname> <command>

syncli handles authentication in one of two ways. You can either specify a username and password as command line options

syncli --host <hostname> --username <username> --password <password> <command>

OR

you can put them in a configuration file ~/.syncli.yaml by default. The config file is a yaml file with the following structure.

host:
  username: <username>
  password: <password>

Credentials provided as command line arguments override values from the configuration file, if both exist.

**IMPORTANT: ** Currently authentication sends your credentials over http in plain text, so this is not safe to use at all over a public network or the internet. syncli defaults to ‘http’ (DSM default), but you override it with --proto=https.
