cubeSQL on Synology NAS

June 6, 2016 in Server

December 2019 Update

We have a new official Synology NAS installer for CubeSQL. You can download it from https://www.sqlabs.com/cubesql_download#nas

(Based on an original script from Christopher Rieke)

Some details:

Script is tested only on 64bit systems (but it should work also on 32bit systems) and depends from the return value of the the “uname -m” command.
You can also check out the content of the spk file by extracting it with “tar -cvf “
You need to create a shared folder called “cubeSQL” to be able to successfully launch cubeSQL.
Databases and settings are store in the same cubeSQL folder. So it is easy to make a backup.

Too bad, for me it doesn't work. It comes the message:
This package is not supported on the platform of DiskStation

A shared folder called 'cubeSQL' was created.

As stated, this package is only supported on "64bit systems". Yours isn't one (http://www.synology-wiki.de/index.php/Welchen_Prozessortyp_besitzt_mein_System%3F).

The reason for that: While cubeSQL is "cross-platform" (x86 and PowerPC, big-endian and little-endian, 32-bit and 64-bit), it is not supported on ARM systems (see http://www.sqlabs.com/blog/2012/06/cubesql-on-arm-processors/#comment-541)

  Admin is a GUI application that you can install and start from Windows, Linux or Mac.
  Just double click on it and connect remotely to a cubeSQL server.

  Hello,
  QNAP system uses an ARM CPU and cubeSQL for ARM processors in not yet available.
  We currently do not have a release date for an ARM version.

Cordiali saluti

  Si è possibile ma non consigliato.
  La versione 5.5 risolve a diversi problemi presenti nella vecchia versione 4.5.

    Sul mio DS415+ si installa ma non si avvia né la 32 né la 64 per Linux (parlo della 4.5). Al momento dell'avvio scompaiono tutti i volumi e devo riavviare il Synology

      Al momento non possiamo offrire supporto per questo tipo di installazioni custom.
      Diversi utenti però ci segnalano di essere riusciti ad installarlo correttamente: https://twitter.com/crieke/status/854040416118820866/photo/1

Hi there,

I have successfully installed cubesql on my synology. But I can't start the database. The Light has shown red and the Button "Start" is unavailable. What I'm doing wrong?

  A red flag usually means that the database is encrypted and you haven't set its encryption key via the Admin app.

Dear all,
I have managed to import the database on my disk station and it is working. I have just one small question: how do I manage to update to the current version of the program?
Thx for a reply

Used this Script on Synology DS218+ (ApolloLake)
You have to add the new Intel Celeron Architecture in the arch section of the INFO File (open *.SPK with 7ZIP and edit INFO File)

arch="x86 avoton cedarview braswell bromolow dockerx64 apollolake"

Should look like this.

THX to Christopher Rieke for the Script

  Thank you Rolf, finally this worked. In my case (Synology RS4017xs+ / Intel Xeon D-1541) I had to add "broadwell".
  
  arch="x86 avoton cedarview braswell bromolow dockerx64 apollolake broadwell"
  
  Also my big thanks to Christopher Rieke und Rolf : )

  You have to update the Link to the current software version. As it refers to an old version it does not work. Try to copy https://www.sqlabs.com/download/cubesql/561/cubesql_complete.zip to the line where your DS wants to know where to download it.

I am trying to install cubeSQL on my DS3615xs with DSM 6.1. Shared Folder "cubeSQL" is created. But when I run the script I get the message "cubeSQL could not be installed". The Volume with all my data on the Raid gets lost and I have to restart the NAS. What is wrong here?

There is an alternative, if your Diskstation supports Docker: https://hub.docker.com/r/agileprojects/cubesql/

It works fine :-)

Unfortunately, the installer script is no longer supported. This says DiskStation 6.2.2.

Does anyone have an idea how to get it installed on Synology or can someone help?

I like to donate for a solution ...

Is there any chance to install this package on a DS418 with DSM 6.2.3-25426?
Installation dialog prompts that the package is not supported by this DSM version.
