Instructions for setting up a git server on a Synology NAS with Diskstation

• Install Git Server package via Diskstation
• Enable SSH access on Diskstation (Control Panel > Terminal & SNMP > Enable SSH Service)
• Create user gituser on NAS (with WebDAV privilages)
• Add new shared folder called git (e.g. /volume1/git) with read/write access for gituser and admin

Configure SSH Access

• create ~/.ssh folder for gituser on server

ssh [email protected]
mkdir /volume1/homes/gituser/.ssh

• copy public rsa key from local computer to gituser account on server

scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub [email protected]:/volume1/homes/gituser/.ssh

• rename id_rsa.pub to authorized_keys on NAS (or append if already exists, cat id_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys)

ssh [email protected]
mv /volume1/homes/gituser/.ssh/id_rsa.pub /volume1/homes/gituser/.ssh/authorized_keys

• change permissions as root

cd /volume1/homes/gituser/
chown -R gituser:users .ssh
chmod 700 .ssh
chmod 644 .ssh/authorized_keys

• change ssh config to allow for key validation

ssh [email protected]
cd /volume1/homes/gituser
vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config

• uncomment these lines (save in vim :w and then quit :q)

PubkeyAuthentication yes
AuthorizedKeysFile     .ssh/authorized_keys

• create bare repo as root

ssh [email protected]
cd /volume1/git/
git --bare init <git-repo>.git
chown -R gituser:users gitproject.git
cd <git-repo>.git
git update-server-info

• Clone repo from NAS

git clone ssh://[email protected]/volume1/git/myproject.git
