Synology NAS Server 3rd-Party Apps Integration

The Synology NAS Server (Disk Station series, Cube Station series, and Rack Station series) uses Linux as its operating system. Due to frequent requests from Synology users and system integrators to install additional applications on the Synology NAS Server, Synology has put together this development guide in order to help users install third-party applications on their Synology NAS Server.

With this integration guide, you will learn how to:

1. Compile applications to be run on the Synology NAS Server.
2. Install the applications into proper paths in order to keep the applications intact after a firmware upgrade.
3. Integrate the applications into Synology's AJAX management UI, aka Synology Disk Station Manager 2.0.
4. Integrate the applications into the Synology web authentication interface.
