Synology diskstation widget does not work

[ithinkmax]

Description

Good morning, everyone,

I am trying to use the widget for Synology nas and Download Station but I can't get them to work even if I try to point 2 different NAS inside the LAN. Clearly I have created the remote stats user, given permissions to access the DSM and Download Station and logged in with that user asking not to enable 2FA and smart MFA.

I see from the Synology logs that the connection/login is not coming in either. And in the homepage logs I see errors.
I have tried HTTP port 5000 and HTTPS port 5001 yaml setup, the strange thing is that if i put HTTPS in the yamls setting i can see a connection attemp in the log to the http cgi anyway...

Homepage runs on Docker (Container Station) from the same synology NAS. The connection with Plex works so I don't think it is a docker network problem.

Can you guys help me? Thanks guys!

Based on the information provided and the documentation for the Synology Disk Station and Download Station widgets, there are a few things you should check to resolve the issue:

1. URL Scheme and Port: The Synology widgets do not support 2FA, and it's also mentioned that the Download Station widget is not compatible with 2FA. Since you are using HTTPS in your configuration, ensure that your Synology NAS is set up to handle HTTPS connections correctly. If you are not using a valid SSL certificate, this might cause issues. Try using HTTP instead of HTTPS to see if that resolves the issue.

2. Permissions: Make sure that the remote_stats user has the correct permissions set up in DSM. For the Disk Station widget, the user needs to be part of the Administrators group, and for the Download Station widget, the user should have the appropriate permissions to access Download Station.

3. API and Endpoint: Verify that the API and endpoints are correctly configured. For the Disk Station widget, the API's SYNO.Core.System part is used, which is only available to admin users. For the Download Station widget, ensure that the API calls are correctly formatted and that the endpoints are accessible.

4. Network Configuration: Since Homepage is running on Docker from the same Synology NAS, there shouldn't be a network issue, but it's worth checking the Docker network configuration to ensure that the container can communicate with the NAS.

5. Logs and Errors: Review the Docker logs for any specific error messages that could indicate the problem. The screenshots of the logs you mentioned are not visible in your message, so I cannot provide specific guidance based on those logs.

6. YAML Configuration: Ensure that there are no syntax errors in your YAML configuration. The volume parameter is optional for the Disk Station widget, but if you are specifying it, make sure that the volume exists and the remote_stats user has access to it.

7. Trailing Slash: As per the troubleshooting guide, URLs should not end with a slash or other API path. Make sure your url fields in the YAML configuration do not have a trailing slash.

If you've checked all the above and the issue persists, you may want to try using curl or another API client to manually test the API endpoints from within the Docker container to ensure they are accessible and returning the expected data.

Please provide the Docker logs if possible, as they may contain specific error messages that can help pinpoint the issue.

The bot works! Because of synology's self signed cert I needed to use HTTP instead of HTTPS and my Diskstation widget works!
