Installing Asterisk On Synology Dsm
Synology DSM 6: Incompatible Packages Ray. March 24, 2016. The DSM 6 release notes say this is no longer supported by the open source team, so Synology is not supporting it in DSM 6. DSM 6.2: A Fresh Install; Synology C2: Tier 2 Data Deduplication; Synology C2 Backup: Changing The Subscription Plan.
Now that Synology has released the first production version of DiskStation Manager 6 (DSM 6) it’s time to seriously consider upgrading. I keep a DS212+ NAS with most Synology packages installed, so that I can monitor updates and changes. It has nearly all the packages available in Package Manager installed, the only exceptions being ones that conflict with an already installed package. For example, OpenERP 6 and OpenERP 7 can’t both be installed so I installed OpenERP 7. It was time to upgrade this NAS to DSM 6. These are the packages that did not survive the upgrade.
Just about every package needs an update after the DiskStation Manager 6 upgrade so allow plenty of time to get things running. A few do update as part of the upgrade but most will need your attention after the upgrade. The ground rules: • • Only packages available through the DSM package manager are considered. • • If the package is not upgradeable (or fixable) through Package Manager then it is incompatible from my point of view. You may be able to side-load an update, but you’ll need to visit the creators website for information. • • The DSM 6 Upgrade was done after DSM 5 and all installed packages were updated to their latest versions. I always recommend verifying that the latest versions of all packages are installed before updating DSM, even though you’ll (most likely) need to update them again after upgrading the DSM 6.
If you’re using any of the packages listed below you’ll need to do your research before upgrading, or wait and see if updates appear in Package Manager. Asterisk The DSM 6 release notes say this is no longer supported by the open source team, so Synology is not supporting it in DSM 6. Tp link tg 3269 windows 10. 
It will not run after the upgrade. WonderBox I had to uninstall this package in order to run the DSM 6 upgrade. It wouldn’t shut down and the upgrade wouldn’t proceed with it running. The package is not available in the DSM 6 Package Manager. BitTorrent Sync This wouldn’t run after the upgrade.
No update is available in Package Manager. Synology CMS (Control Management System) This is not supported on all Synology Hardware. Hardware that installed it in DSM 5 may not support it in DSM 6. For example, my DS212+ would not run it after the DSM 6 upgrade and no update was available. The package is available under DSM 6 on other hardware, such as the DS1815+. Elephant Drive This did not run after the DSM 6 upgrade and no update is available in the DSM 6 Package Manager.
Plex Media Server This did not run after the DSM 6 upgrade and no update is available in the DSM 6 Package Manager. The Plex website does have newer versions for Synology that include support for the DSM 6 beta, so I would expect a version to show up in Package Manager in the near future. Synform Cloud Backup This did not run after the DSM 6 upgrade and no update is available in the DSM 6 Package Manager. The Synology forums included some threads complaining about the DSM 5 version of this package, so it may be awhile before it shows up. XCloud This did not run after the DSM 6 upgrade and no update is available in the DSM 6 Package Manager. Zarafa This did not run after the DSM 6 upgrade and no update is available in the DSM 6 Package Manager.
It's an interesting idea but I'd not do that unless you are just doing that for home. You want a fully supported PBX platform for business use, not just Asterisk 'available' on Synology. Synology, to the best of my knowledge, does not provide any support for Asterisk on there so any Asterisk or Synology update might cause problems and patches and updates might not be forthcoming. Beyond that, PBXs are typically high priority and not appropriate for an SMB class NAS device. Synology is nice but this isn't a good use for it, in my opinion. Do you not have a server to put a PBX on? What is driving you to want to consider this route?
By using your own PBX on your own hardware you can control what updates are installed to the root OS and not be worried that all of a sudden a Synology update may bomb your Asterisk server. Then what do you do? What what if a firmware rollback makes Asterisk work but bombs your file shares? By keeping the two separate, you do better in terms of DR and overall control. More than anything that sounds like something Synology added as a pure marketing tactic to get people to use their device as an all-in-one solution.

What is driving you to want to consider this route? I'm looking at upgrading our Shoretel system which I'm expecting to be fairly expensive. I plan to compare the cost of other systems besides just paying for the upgrade.
Synology has the ability to mirror two devices and if I was going to do this they would also be dedicated. My thought was that this is basically Asterisk on Linux. But it doesn't sound like anyone has gone this route so I'm not going to spend any more time on it. @Nate What was the result of your PBX research?
I'd be curious to see if you found something cost effective to replace ShoreTel. I've worked on dozens of ShoreTel systems and have been surprised at how resilient it is. With some exception where the handsets or the voice switch are dropped from support, the system can be upgraded forever. Usually the only thing you need to do is update your server every 5 or 6 years and pay for support to be on the latest version. I'm not paid by ShoreTel, so I don't want to sound like too much of a fanboy.
I've thought that small offices might be just as well suited by a freepbx type of system as well. Steve-DC wrote: @Nate What was the result of your PBX research?

I'm meeting with our Shoretel vendor in a few weeks. It has been several months since your last post. How did your meeting go with Shoretel. We are on 12.3 and we are not currently on maintenance and have been off for the last two years. We are looking at restoring because we would like to go to 13.3.
I heard 14.2 is a nightmare. I have played with Asterisk in the past and it is extremely hard to program up from scratch. But this might just be the avenue to try next. I have an extra Synology from a closed down office I can play with. I have found that Yealink phones work best with the Shoretel. If any one is interested I did a phone test with several SIP phones and Yealink won out. I wish I seen this forum a long time ago, I am a VOIP guy now after 15 years of installing old school Telecom PBX technology I now support VOIP 100%.

For Shoretel and others like then I think it is so funny that people keep falling for someone relabeling asterisk and charging for it LOL! I can support hundreds of extensions on asterisk the only thing you need to do correctly is a real Firewall, QOS is a must, VLANs are a must, a real router, a real switch, a real server (to many people cheap out by no buying Cisco router and switches) Rules- QOS and VLAN! RULES- Buy real equipment! Not off the shelf Rules- Please do not use default passwords Rules- VOIP/SIP will be hacked its a fact so be ready for it.
Hi, I'm trying to setup a cheap VoIP system for my wifes new business, currently she needs just a single endpoint, but will need two by years end. We have a synology box at the house (where she works from) so want to use that, so thought about the Asterisk bundle. If anyone has any step by step guides that'd be awesome. I had it accepting calls today (no extensions) so just got the 'Congratulations, you've successfully setup.'
