OPKG for Synology DiskStations running Synology DSM[edit]

CAVEAT: In 2017 I started using opkg (Entware-NG) instead of ipkg (optware). This document may not be updated entirely to reflect the new circumstances.

the GNU packages that I need most seriously on my Synology NAS[edit]

utilities to get started and stopped automatically[edit]
