Hi, im new to this forum and trying to install Home Assistant on my synology NAS.

I am following the guide on how to install in, but i got stuck on the
“Create hass-daemon file using the following code (edit the variables in uppercase if necessary)”

How do i create that file when i am in putty ?

There is no such thing as a lame ass post when you need help! That’s what forums are for.

I’ve never used a Synology NAS but if you’re using putty you can see if the NAS has the nano editor. Here’s a guide to using it:

If not, maybe it has the Vi editor, so here’s a guide for that, too:

Hope this helps!

Did a little more research and found an article on using nano on the Synology, though you will have to install it. Article links to install guide as well.

Could you kindly let me know how you pasted the code from the HA website for the daemon into Vi on the Synology? Going mad here.

copied it with “mv”.
