My situation is as follows:

Telenet cable internet (modem only) – Fritzbox router – Switch – Synology NAS

I wanted to be able to reach the Subsonic and the Plex daemon running on my Synology NAS.

So I decided to setup 2 subdomains and with a reverse proxy (on apache) reach the daemons.

I have a home.domain.com subdomain, which points to my dynamic IP address (my fritzbox router updates it when the IP changes).

I created 2 extra subdomains (each with a cname to home.domain.com):

music.home.domain.com   (this one has to point to Subsonic)

movies.home.domain.com   (this one has to point to Plex)

In DSM 5.2 (the Synology web interface) I activated WebStation in the control pannel. I also activated ssl (with a self signed certificate -> creating a good one will be my next step (and blog post)).

I logged in (ssh with root) to my Synology and changed the following:


$cd /etc/httpd/sites-enabled-user
$nano httpd-ssl-vhost.conf-user


Put the following in the httpd-ssl-vhost.conf-user file (change the ServerName to yours):

<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName music.home.domain.com
SSLEngine On
SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://192.168.0.100:4040/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.0.100:4040/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName movies.home.domain.com
SSLEngine On
SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyVia Off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Proxy>
ProxyPass / http://192.168.0.100:32400/
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.0.100:32400/
</VirtualHost>

On the Fritzbox router, forward port 443 (ssl) to port 443 on the Synology (192.168.0.100 in my case).

Restart Apache


$httpd -k restart


Now you can reach Subsonic via https://music.home.domain.com
You can reach Plex via https://movies.home.domain.com/web/ (notice the /web/ in the end!)

Adding


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/web
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Plex-Device} ^$
RewriteRule ^/$ /web/$1 [R,L]


just before the closing of the tag, should help you to get rid of the /web/ and reach Plex on https://movies.home.domain.com

So I installed Subsonic on my synology NAS.

I installed the standalone version, because all the rest (docker, spk, …)was giving some kind of problem (no transcoding, file permissions, …)

Instructions:

ssh to NAS with root

First of all, install ipkg (follow: http://www.vspecialist.co.uk/2014/09/how-to-install-ipkg-on-a-synology-nas/)

after ipkg is installed, do:


$ipkg update
$ipkg install ffmpeg
$ipkg install bash


Now for the Subsonic part:


$mkdir /var/subsonic/standalone
$wget http://subsonic.org/download/subsonic-6.0-standalone.tar.gz
$ tar xvzf subsonic-6.0-standalone.tar.gz
$ cd /var/subsonic/transcode


In the transcode folder create a symbolic link to ffmpeg


$ln -s /usr/syno/bin/ffmpeg ffmpeg


Edit the subsonic.sh file as needed
go to bash (you installed via ipkg):


$/opt/bin/bash


Start subsonic:


$ cd /var/subsonic/standalone/
$ nohup ./subsonic.sh &


•  the reason to install bash via ipkg is that the synology “bash” doesn’t support nohup, so Subsonic stops after you logout of your ssh session.

Done!

As an alternative, you can also install Tomcat (via the repositories) and deploy the war (mind you, you need to manually create the folder /var/subsonic  and /var/subsonic/trancode with the symbolic link to ffmpeg)

• Recovery: With the device powered down, hold Volume Down & Power. When the LG logo appears release the buttons and then press them again. Then, press the Power button three times!
• Bootloader: With the device powered down, plug in a USB cable while pressing Volume Up.
• Hard reset: press volume up and power for a very long time 😉

Dankzij dit zonnige weekend hebben we al eens een bbq try-out kunnen doen.

Zonlicht maakt alles zoveel mooier!

… kan nu starten!
