domoticz in synology as package! Available now.

[Freekers]

I am running Domoticz 3.8153 stable for DSM6.1 With Python using @jumbotroll 's package.
This morning, my Synology alerted me that it has been infected by Malware. It stated that a new user was created with username 'domoticz'.
If I'm not mistaken, this is the user that the package creates while installing and uses to run domoticz.

For my peace of mind, can someone please confirm this for me?
And have others received the same message?

Thanks!

Domoticz 4.9700 stable for DSM6.2 with python plugin.
http://www.jadahl.com/domoticz_stable_6.2_python/
Update:
1.Take backup of domoticz.db and scripts than uninstall the old domoticz package from package center.
2. Install the new stable domoticz package then restore your domoticz.db

New versions for arch-88f6281 or arch-88f6282 will not be updated because the toolchain version from synology is too old and does not support std = c ++ 11.

i have the same message
it seems it is a new protection check for abnormal users (users linked to certain apps, not regular users)

not sure how to solve this

you can remove the entry but i am not sure if user domoticz is necessary for a working/upgradable Domoticz version

@Jumbotroll, care to jump in?

I don't have this message, but I think it's because we have to run domoticz as root user on synology.

I have the same message.
Have attached screenshots that illustrates it.
In /etc/passwd I see a line with domoticz::<number>:<number>:Domoticz User:<path>

[Gravityz]

i removed the line in etc/passwd and rebooted.
everything still worked

upgraded to the latest stable 4.9700 (upgraded from 3.8720)
domoticz did not run like it should so i stopped the package and restarted it.
Domoticz now runs and works but it seems something has changed regarding dzVents

it can not find the dzVents.lua file
it is looking at /usr/local/domoticz/dzVents/runtime/dzVents.lua

however when i check the new install has put it at /usr/local/domoticz/var/dzVents/runtime/dzVents.lua

is there any way to correct this?

Hi Jumbotroll, you are doing an excellent job for the Synology users. Any change that this 4.9700 stable will become available for DSM 6.1 (installing DSM 6.2 requires reformatting)?

until fixed use following workaround:

sudo mkdir /usr/local/domoticz/dzVents
sudo mkdir /usr/local/domoticz/dzVents/runtime
cd /usr/local/domoticz/dzVents/runtime
sudo cp -r /usr/local/domoticz/var/dzVents/runtime/* .

if everything works and is stable

sudo rm -r /usr/local/domoticz/var/dzVents/runtime

[Gravityz]

ok, looking at your advice it looks like a bug which needs to be solved
tried it. it now finds dzVents.lua but is generating an error on line 33

2018-06-24 13:57:51.196 Error: EventSystem: in /usr/local/domoticz/dzVents/runtime/dzVents.lua: /usr/local/domoticz/dzVents/runtime/dzVents.lua:33: attempt to concatenate local 'triggerReason' (a nil value)





this is at line 33

I can't agree more.... Excellent job jumbotroll. I certainly wouldnt know how to handle Domoticz to run on a Synology which is (in my opninion) a more then handy "NAS".
This proves it!

I run dsm6.1 too on my ds218+.
Didn't know that reformatting is needed to upgrade to dsm6.2
Maybe I have to wait too then and hope for a dsm6.1 release

And what I don't understand too: the option w or w/o python. Does the do.oticz version use another python version/setup then the versions at package manager?
Is there a risk that those two versions do interfere with each other?
I ask cause installing w/o the python, Domoticz doesn't show the pyhton option as a script (even it is installed at the syno).
With python it does, so there is a difference

I did update my DS712+ from DSM6.1 to DSM6.2 without any problem. (Not need to reformat)
The domoticz version with python is build with python plugin if you need that and you have to install the python3.5.1 from synology before you install this version or the domoticz package will not run.
I will build v.4.9700 for DSM 6.1 too, later this weekend, but it take some time to build all this packages.
The homepage is updated and the packages is updated gradually.

regarding my upgrade to v4.9700 and the dzVents problems

i noticed that not only the directories are wrong. also the dzVents version in the package 9700 is V2.3.0 and not 2.4.6

could this have caused al the problems or did the upgrade just not go all the way.

please check the package

i upgrades by installing the package manually.

I have dzVents 2.4.6.
I think if you updated from beta, you have to reinstall the package.
Take backup of domoticz.db and scripts and uninstall domoticz from package center, then reinstall and restore db and scripts.

The problem is that if you update, my install package take backup of old folders and restore them..
Sorry, but this is the way the install script work for now..

[Gravityz]

ok clear.

i completely removed the package(checked, al directories are gone)
reinstalled the 9700 package

guess what now dzVents is missing in both the usr/local/domoticz directory as well as the usr/locxal/domoticz/var directory.

so now there is no way to copy the files because they are not installed. am i getting crazy or is there something wromg with the apollolake 9700 package

Very strange! I don't know why the dzVents folder is not created on your NAS,
I have looked at the Apollolake package v4.9700 and it should create: /usr/local/domoticz/var/dzVents$
and
/usr/local/domoticz/var/scripts/dzVents$

Tested clean install here with arch-x86 and it worked fine.
The arch-aplollolake is build with the same methode.

[Gravityz]

it creates the
/usr/local/domoticz/var/dzVents folder but it is empty

it creates the
/usr/local/domoticz/var/scripts/dzVents folder, this one in filled with directories

i installed a earlier version 6.2 9672 and that one also fails to install DZvents
i am biginning to think this problem is in all the 6.2 versions.

if i install an old 3.8720 version it does install dzvents

If you go to ->setup->about you don't have:
Version: 4.9700
Build Hash: a3a4590-modified
Compile Date: 2018-06-23 16:24:51
dzVents Version: 2.4.6
Python Version: None

Uptime: 19 Minutes, 40 Seconds

Did you try to create a dzvent script and run it?

If you make a script with Setup -> More Options -> Events and generate a script, you should see it in folder:
/usr/local/domoticz/var/scripts/dzVents/generated_scripts

It is some changes in later source code and have nothing to do with DSM 6.1 or DSM 6.2.

[Gravityz]

yes i have that exact info so that part is right.

if i check right after installation the dzVents directory is there but nothing in it(no runtime)
after restoring database it is still empty.

i can create a script and it appears in the generated_scripts folder
it even tries to run it(with the error that it can not find the dzvents.lua file

somehow it also points to the wrong folder(probably because in the old versions it was under /usr/local/domoticz/dzVents
however i did a brand new installation so how can it still be searching in the wrong directory

if i install 3.8720 the var/dzVents directory is filled

I will check this..
Maybe some changes I have to do in the install script.

thanks

please also check why it is executing in /usr/local/domoticz/dzVents/runtime while installing it under /usr/local/domoticz/var/dzVents/runtime
