Instructions for setting up a git server on a Synology NAS with Diskstation. Specifically, I am using a DS414 with DSM 5.0.
- Create user
gituservia Diskstation interface (with File Station and WebDAV privilages) - Add new shared folder called
git(located at/volume1/git) with read/write access forgituserandadmin. This folder will hold all the repos. - Install Git Server package via Diskstation
- Open Git Server and allow
gituserpermissions - Enable SSH access on Diskstation (Control Panel > Terminal & SNMP > Enable SSH Service)
- create
~/.sshfolder for gituser on server
ssh [email protected]
mkdir /volume1/homes/gituser/.ssh
- copy public rsa key from local computer to gituser account on server
scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]:/volume1/homes/gituser/.ssh
- connect via SSH as
rootand renameid_rsa.pubtoauthorized_keyson NAS (or append if already exists,cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys)
ssh [email protected]
mv /volume1/homes/gituser/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /volume1/homes/gituser/.ssh/authorized_keys
- change permissions while logged in as root
cd /volume1/homes/gituser/
chown -R gituser:users .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh
chmod 644 .ssh/authorized_keys
- create bare repo as root
ssh [email protected]
cd /volume1/git/
git --bare init <repo-name>.git
chown -R gituser:users <repo-name>.git
cd <repo-name>.git
git update-server-info
NOTE: I'm not entirely sure if git update-server-info must be run for each repo or just initially. It seems to work without running this command, but I'm suspcicious that it might cause problems later.
- Clone repo from NAS
git clone ssh://[email protected]/volume1/git/<repo-name>.git
