Hi there!
I will get to the point directly.
Done everything as written on this link: https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/installation/synology/
But when sending the start command with PuTTY, I get the answer Starting Home Assistant, an then nothing happens. If I send Stop command I get “Home Assistant is not running”.
Attached screenshots of my files on the NAS, and the PuTTY window.
Any help appriciated.!
tl;dr
downgrade your pip version to 9.0.1 with sudo python3 -m pip install pip==9.0.1
====
Same here with a DS218play
Had a look at the hass-daemon file and tried to run the command in the start section manually without piping the output into the log file.
After also appending the --debug flag i finally got an error message
leschekfm@DiskStation:~$ sudo -u homeassistant /bin/sh -c "/volume1/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/bin/python3 /volume1/@appstore/py3k/usr/local/bin/hass -v --config /volume1/homeassistant --pid-file /volume1/homeassistant/home-assistant.pid --daemon --debug"

from pip.locations import running_under_virtualenv
ImportError: No module named 'pip.locations'
Apparently pip.locations has been removed with pip version 10 and therefore a more or less recent Diskstation installation is way beyond that (current is pip v18)
Edit:
The usage of pip.locations has been removed some time ago for home assistent in this commit
Sadly this commit included only in home assistent 0.65.0 which requires at least pyhon 3.5.3 according to the changelog which isn’t supported on diskstations atm.
As far as I see the only solution right now is to downgrade pip as mentioned in https://community.home-assistant.io/t/error-after-upgrade-importerror-no-module-named-pip-locations/50633/3 (seems that I can’t link to internal issues…)
Edit2:
Yes the downgrade made the process start properly
i am using a DS215J NAS, so very similar to yours and i also have problem, the process start correctly after downgrading to pip 9.0.1 but i cannot access to the webpage. how did you solve this?
Hi! Finally I gave up trying with the nas, and used a Raspberry Pi 3 instead. Everything is working perfectly, so I suggest you (if possible), don’t install it on your nas, use a Raspberry instead.
Cheers
bad news for me… i will give a try as a virtual appliance:
Hi. There’s an updated python3 (3.5.6, 3.6.8 in-the-works) release noted in Python >=3.5.3 on Synology … are you willing to try installing a newer python3, tell me how well it installs and/or runs the basic touch-test I use, and we can progress to HA from there?
I did the same and now home assistant dameon starts. However I am unable to access the front end using https://nad-ip-address:8123. I am trying this on my local network on a DS918+ on DSM 6.2.2.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
