Autostart on Synology NAS boot
To get Home Assistant to automatically start when you boot your Synology NAS:
SSH into your synology & login as admin or root
$ cd /volume1/homeassistant
Create “homeassistant.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/homeassistant/hass-daemon start
Register the autostart
$ ln -s homeassistant.conf /etc/init/homeassistant.conf
Make the relevant files executable:
$ chmod -r 777 /etc/init/homeassistant.conf
That’s it - reboot your NAS and Home Assistant should automatically start
