To get an application to automatically start when you boot your Synology NAS:

 

SSH into your synology & login as admin or root

$ cd /volume1/application

 

Create “application.conf” file using the following code

# only start this service after the httpd user process has started

start on started httpd-user

# stop the service gracefully if the runlevel changes to 'reboot'

stop on runlevel [06]

# run the scripts as the 'http' user. Running as root (the default) is a bad ide

#setuid admin

# exec the process. Use fully formed path names so that there is no reliance on

# the 'www' file is a node.js script which starts the foobar application.

exec /bin/sh /volume1/application/daemon start

 

Register the autostart

$ ln -s application.conf /etc/init/application.conf

 

Make the relevant files executable:

$ chmod -r 777 /etc/init/application.conf 

 

That’s it – reboot your NAS and the respective Application should automatically start.
