1 Install the synology “noarch” package
Go to the Package Center, then Settings
Trusted sources, “Synology Inc. and trusted publishers”
Package Sources, Add, “SynoCommunity” + “http://packages.synocommunity.com/”
Community, install Python (v2.x, not v3) and nano
Manual Install, debian-chroot_noarch-all_8.4-7.spk but DO NOT “Run after installation”
2 Fix the DSM Interface
Ssh to your Synology
sudo -s cd /volume1/@appstore/debian-chroot/env/bin ./pip install click nano /var/packages/debian-chroot/target/app/debian-chroot.js
Then replace
"url": "3rdparty/debian-chroot/debian-chroot.cgi/direct/router", with "url": "/webman/3rdparty/debian-chroot/debian-chroot.cgi/direct/router", and: 'url': '3rdparty/debian-chroot/debian-chroot.cgi/direct/poller', with 'url': '/webman/3rdparty/debian-chroot/debian-chroot.cgi/direct/poller',
And alter the onclose function:
onClose: function () {
this.doClose();
this.mainPanel.onDeactivate();
return true;
},
3 Replace the binaries with x64
Remove old binaries:
cd /volume1/@appstore/debian-chroot/var rm -rf chroottarget
Put the x64 chroot.tar.gz in the current directory
tar zxvf chroot.tar.gz echo "chroot" >/volume1/@appstore/debian-chroot/var/chroottarget/etc/hostname cp /etc/resolv.conf /volume1/@appstore/debian-chroot/var/chroottarget/etc/resolv.conf touch /usr/local/debian-chroot/var/installed
If you created a chroot for a different architecture than x64, use the following command. Otherwise skip this.
chroot /volume1/@appstore/debian-chroot/var/chroottarget /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage
The chroot is now installed. Start it:
/var/packages/debian-chroot/scripts/start-stop-status start
Enter the chroot:
chroot /volume1/@appstore/debian-chroot/var/chroottarget /bin/bash
Post-installation steps:
apt update && apt upgrade && apt autoremove apt-get install locales dpkg-reconfigure locales -> only "[*] en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8" -> system default: en_US.UTF-8 dpkg-reconfigure tzdata -> set correct timezone, e.g. Europe, Amsterdam
Optional
If you want extra mounts in your chroot, look in:
/var/packages/debian-chroot/scripts/start-stop-status
example to add a Synology share called stuff to the chroot:
add to BOTTOM of all mount commands in section start_daemon script:
grep -q "${CHROOTTARGET}/mnt/site " /proc/mounts || mount -o bind /volume1/stuff ${CHROOTTARGET}/mnt/site
add to TOP of all umount commands in section stop_daemon script:
umount ${CHROOTTARGET}/mnt/site
Reboot your synology
