# SynoCtrl

SynoCtrl is a command-line program to remotely control your Synology NAS

**[ [ DOWNLOAD ] ](https://github.com/Mikescher/SynoCtrl/releases/latest)**

## Features

- Show Synology status (`synoctrl status-all [<name>] [--info] [options]`)
 - Shutdown Synology NAS (`synoctrl shutdown [<name>] [options]`)
 - Reboot Synology NAS (`synoctrl reboot [<name>] [options]`)
 - Boot up Synology NAS via WOL (`synoctrl wol [<name>] [options]`)
 - Send ping package (`synoctrl ping [<name>] [options]`)
 - Get IP adress by MAC (`synoctrl getip [<name>] [options]`)
 - Get MAC address by IP via ARP (`synoctrl getmac [<name>] [options]`)

## Configuration

You do not need to create a configuration file and can use SynoCtrl completely portable only via command-line parameter.  
But (for convenience) you can specify properties of your NAS (or multiple NAS') in a config file and reference them in your program call:

~~~TOML
Default = "MyDevice"             # The default device to use if no specific device is specified
                                 # Can be removed if there shall be no default device.

[[Device]]
Name     = "MyDevice"            # Device name
IP       = "192.168.0.20"        # IP address (optional)
Port     = 1924                  # Port of DiskStation WebInterface (optional)
HTTPS    = false                 # Enable HTTPS Communication (optional)
Mac      = "00-11-22-33-44-55"   # MAC address (optional)
Username = "usr"                 # DSM Web interface username (optional)
Password = "pass"                # DSM Web interface password (optional)

# You can add more than one device:

# [[Device]]
# Name     = "Demo2"               # Device name
# IP       = "10.10.10.99"         # IP address (optional)
# Port     = 1924                  # Port of DiskStation WebInterface (optional)
# HTTPS    = false                 # Enable HTTPS Communication (optional)
# Mac      = "00-A1-B2-C3-D4-E5"   # MAC address  (optional)
# Username = "admin"               # DSM Web interface username (optional)
# Password = "admin"               # DSM Web interface password (optional)

# You can add more devices here and use them by their device-names in the command-line interface
# ...
~~~
*(This is [TOML](https://github.com/toml-lang/toml) syntax)*

Then you can call `synoctrl shutdown MyDevice` to shutdown the device with the name "MyDevice".  
If no config file exists or no device name is given you have to supply all necessary parameters via command-line parameter (In this case `--ip`, `--username`, `--password`)

All fields except the *Name* field are optional in the TOML config file are optional and can be removed, in this case you need to supply these parameters in the program call if they are necessary.

The config file location can be set with the command line parameter `--config`. If no `--config` parameter is set the standard locations are searched for a config file (in this order):
 - `%program_dir%\synoctrl.toml`
 - `%userprofile%\.config\synoctrl.toml`
 - `%userprofile%\synoctrl.toml`
 - `%appdata%\synoctrl\synoctrl.toml`

You can create a example config file with the command `synoctrl create-config synoctrl.toml`

## Options / Command-line parameter

## Commands

### Shutdown/Reboot

You can shutdown the device `MyDevice` with the command `synoctrl shutdown MyDevice`.  
This uses the Synology DSM API to send an shutdown request.  
If you do not have a configuration file you can supply all parameter by yourself:  
`synoctrl shutdown --ip 192.168.0.100 --user admin --password admin`  
If you want to reboot your device (instead of shutdown) you can use the *reboot* command `synoctrl reboot MyDevice`

### Boot-up (Wake-on-LAN)

You can boot the device by sending a Wake-on-LAN package to the MAC address of your NAS.  
For this to work you have to [enable WOL in your device config](https://www.synology.com/en-us/knowledgebase/search/Wake%20on%20LAN).  
The command is `synoctrl wol MyDevice`, if you do not have a configured device the command is `synoctrl wol --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55`

### Get IP/MAC address

For convenience two commands are available to get the MAC address from an IP address (via ARP) and to get the IP address from a MAC address (via you local ARP table):  
`synoctrl getip MyDevice` and `synoctrl getmac MyDevice` or `synoctrl getip --mac 00:11:22:33:44:55` and `synoctrl getmac --ip 192.168.0.100`.  
For obvious reasons *getip* only works when the device is powered on (and accepts ARP requests) and *getmac* only works if the device is already in your local ARP table.

### Status

SynoCtrl can show many different status fields. All these data is gathered via the API, so if you don't have a config file with the respective data supplied you need to at least set the parameters `--ip`, `--username` and `--password`.

You can list all available status fields with `synoctrl status-list` (see [Appendix 1](#appendix-1-available-status-fields)).

The *status-all* command returns all available status fields, this can take a moment because multiple API endpoints have to be called. (`synoctrl status-all MyDevice`).

But the normal way is to call *status* together with a comma-separated list of fields you want to get:  
`synoctrl status Model,MemoryUsageReal,Uptime MyDevice` or `synoctrl status Load5min MyDevice`

If you only want the raw unformatted value you can add `--silent` and if you want the value together with the field description you can add `--info`
