wcpan-drive-synology 4.0.1

Synology Drive Web API integration for wcpan.drive

wcpan.drive.synology

Synology Drive integration for the wcpan.drive framework.

This repository contains:

• a client-side FileService implementation that talks to a running server
• a server that mirrors Synology Drive metadata into a local SQLite database
• a Synology API adapter for the server-side mirror

Installation

pip install wcpan-drive-synology

For the server component:

pip install "wcpan-drive-synology[server]"

Usage

Client

The client connects to a running wcpan.drive.synology server instance and implements the wcpan.drive.core FileService interface.

from wcpan.drive.synology import create_service

async with create_service(server_url="http://localhost:8080") as file_service:
    root = await file_service.get_root()
    print(f"Root: {root}")

Server

The server mirrors a Synology Drive instance locally via a REST API and webhook-driven update pipeline. Configure it with a YAML file (see server.example.yaml):

# Copy and edit the example config
cp server.example.yaml server.yaml

# Start the server
wcpan.drive.synology --config server.yaml serve

# Other subcommands
wcpan.drive.synology --config server.yaml gc
wcpan.drive.synology --config server.yaml backfill /
wcpan.drive.synology --config server.yaml squash

At startup, the server:

• connects to Synology Drive through DSM's WebStation API
• registers a webhook at CALLBACK_URL/api/v1/synology-webhook
• serves a local HTTP API for the client integration
• keeps a SQLite-backed mirror in sync through scans, webhook events, and explicit backfill commands

backfill PATH operates on the server's virtual mirror paths. / is the server root; mounted Synology paths appear underneath it by mount label.

Config file

version: 2
host: "0.0.0.0"
port: 8080
database_url: "sqlite:////data/mirror.db"
synology:
  url: "https://nas.example.com:5001"
  username: "your-drive-user"
  password: "your-password"
  webhook:
    callback_url: "https://my-server.example.com"
mounts:
  photos: "/volume1/photos"
local_paths: {}

version is the config schema version and must match the version supported by the current binary. The current binary accepts only version 2. local_paths is currently required by the config schema; use {} when local media probing is not needed. synology.webhook.app_id defaults to wcpan-drive-synology. See server.example.yaml for the full set of options.

Important fields:

• database_url: SQLite database location for the local mirror
• synology.url: DSM / Synology Drive base URL
• mounts: virtual mount label to Synology path mapping
• local_paths: optional Synology-path to local-filesystem mapping for media probing; required by the current schema, so use {} if unused
• synology.webhook.callback_url: externally reachable base URL used for webhook registration
• synology.otp_code: optional 2FA code when the Synology account requires it

For multipart uploads in particular, this project intentionally sends Content-Type only on the file part and not on scalar form fields. That behavior is confirmed against a real Synology server and should be preserved as a project compatibility requirement to avoid regressions, even though Synology's public docs do not appear to spell it out explicitly.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.13
• aiohttp >= 3.13.0
• pycryptodome >= 3.0
• wcpan-drive-core >= 6.0.0

Server extras additionally require: dacite, pyyaml, pymediainfo, wcpan-logging.

Development

Code style rule for function signatures:

• Keep semantic inputs positional when they are the subject of the operation.
• Make infrastructure and wiring parameters keyword-only when they act as facilities for the function or object, such as storage, drive_api, network, node_sync, off_main, or similar service/session dependencies.

Example:

await copy_node(src, dst, node_sync=node_sync)

Useful commands:

make test
make lint
make format
make coverage
