This will help us find the right location for your SSH keys. + +--- + +_**User**_ + + + +--- + +_**Assistant**_ + +Perfect! Now I understand the issue. Your home directory is set to `/var/services/homes/Nathan` in `/etc/passwd`, but that directory doesn't exist and you can't create it because `/var/services/homes` exists but you don't have permission to create subdirectories in it. + +Let's check what's in `/var/services/homes` and try to create your home directory properly: + +## **Check and Create Home Directory:** + +```bash +# Check what's in the homes directory +ls -la /var/services/homes/ + +# Try to create your home directory with sudo +sudo mkdir /var/services/homes/Nathan +sudo chown Nathan:users /var/services/homes/Nathan +sudo chmod 755 /var/services/homes/Nathan + +# Now create .ssh directory +mkdir -p ~/.ssh +chmod 700 ~/.ssh +``` + +If the sudo approach doesn't work, let's try the Synology-specific approach: + +## **Alternative: Use Synology Tools** + +```bash +# Check if there's a Synology user management tool +which synouser +synouser --help + +# Or check DSM user directories +ls -la /volume1/@database/ +ls -la /volume1/@appdata/ +``` + +Let's start with the first set of commands to see what's preventing the home directory creation and if we can fix it with sudo. + +--- + +_**User**_ + + + +--- + +_**Assistant**_ + +I see the issue! The `/var/services/homes/` directory doesn't exist at all, but something is preventing its creation. This is a common Synology issue. Let's try a different approach: + +## **Create the Missing Directory Structure:** + +```bash +# Create the entire missing path +sudo mkdir -p /var/services/homes +sudo mkdir -p /var/services/homes/Nathan +sudo chown Nathan:users /var/services/homes/Nathan +sudo chmod 755 /var/services/homes/Nathan + +# Now create .ssh +mkdir -p ~/.ssh +chmod 700 ~/.ssh +touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys +chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys +``` + +If that still doesn't work, let's use a **workaround** by putting the SSH keys in a different location and configuring SSH to look there: + +## **Alternative: Use /volume1 Location** + +```bash +# Create SSH directory in volume1 (should be writable) +mkdir -p /volume1/Hydra/.ssh-config +chmod 700 /volume1/Hydra/.ssh-config +touch /volume1/Hydra/.ssh-config/authorized_keys +chmod 600 /volume1/Hydra/.ssh-config/authorized_keys + +# Create a symlink from expected location to actual location +sudo ln -sf /volume1/Hydra/.ssh-config /var/services/homes/Nathan/.ssh +``` + +Let's try the first approach first - creating the missing `/var/services/homes` directory structure. + +--- + +_**User**_ + + + +--- + +_**Assistant**_ + +The issue is that `/var/services/homes` exists as a file or special object, not a directory, which is why you can't create subdirectories in it. Let's check what it actually is and use the workaround approach: + +## **Check What /var/services/homes Actually Is:** + +```bash +file /var/services/homes +ls -la /var/services/ | grep homes +``` + +## **Use the Workaround Approach:** + +Let's create the SSH directory in a writable location and use symlinks: + +```bash +# Create SSH directory in volume1 (definitely writable) +mkdir -p /volume1/Hydra/.ssh-nathan +chmod 700 /volume1/Hydra/.ssh-nathan +touch /volume1/Hydra/.ssh-nathan/authorized_keys +chmod 600 /volume1/Hydra/.ssh-nathan/authorized_keys + +# Create the missing directory structure and symlink +sudo mkdir -p /var/services/homes/Nathan +sudo ln -sf /volume1/Hydra/.ssh-nathan /var/services/homes/Nathan/.ssh +``` + +If the sudo commands fail, let's just configure SSH to look in a different location: + +## **Alternative: Modify SSH Config (if needed)** + +```bash +# Check if we can modify SSH config to look elsewhere +sudo grep -n "AuthorizedKeysFile" /etc/ssh/sshd_config +``` + +Let's start with checking what `/var/services/homes` actually is, then try the workaround approach. + +--- + +_**User**_ + + + +--- + +_**Assistant**_ + +Ah! That's the issue! `/var/services/homes` is a symlink to `/volume1/@fake_home_link`, which doesn't exist. This is a Synology-specific setup. Let's fix this: + +## **Check and Fix the Symlink Target:** + +```bash +# Check if the target exists +ls -la /volume1/@fake_home_link + +# If it doesn't exist, let's create it +sudo mkdir -p /volume1/@fake_home_link +sudo mkdir -p /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan +sudo chown Nathan:users /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan +sudo chmod 755 /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan +``` + +Now try creating your SSH directory: + +```bash +# This should work now +mkdir -p ~/.ssh +chmod 700 ~/.ssh +touch ~/.ssh/authorized_keys +chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys +``` + +If that works, now we can add your public key. From your Windows machine, run: + +```powershell +Get-Content $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_rsa.pub +``` + +Copy the output and then on your NAS: + +```bash +echo "PASTE_YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE" >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys +``` + +Let's start by checking if `/volume1/@fake_home_link` exists and creating the structure if needed. + +--- + +_**User**_ + + + +--- + +_**Assistant**_ + +The issue is that `/var/services/homes` itself (the symlink) has wrong permissions. Let's fix the symlink and the target directory: + +## **Fix the Symlink and Permissions:** + +```bash +# Check what we created +ls -la /volume1/@fake_home_link/ +ls -la /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan/ + +# Fix permissions on the symlink target +sudo chmod 755 /volume1/@fake_home_link +sudo chmod 755 /var/services/homes + +# Try to create .ssh directly in the target location +mkdir -p /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan/.ssh +chmod 700 /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan/.ssh +touch /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan/.ssh/authorized_keys +chmod 600 /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan/.ssh/authorized_keys +``` + +If that works, test if the symlink works: + +```bash +# Test if we can access via the symlink +ls -la ~/.ssh/ +``` + +Let's try creating the `.ssh` directory directly in the target location first, then test if it's accessible via the home directory symlink. + +--- + +_**User**_ + + + +--- + +_**Assistant**_ + +The permissions are still wrong. Let's fix the entire chain: + +## **Fix All Permissions in the Chain:** + +```bash +# Fix permissions on the entire path +sudo chmod 755 /volume1/@fake_home_link +sudo chmod 755 /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan + +# Check if it worked +ls -la /volume1/@fake_home_link/ +ls -la /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan/ + +# Now try creating .ssh +mkdir -p /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan/.ssh +chmod 700 /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan/.ssh +touch /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan/.ssh/authorized_keys +chmod 600 /volume1/@fake_home_link/Nathan/.ssh/authorized_keys + +# Test access via home directory +ls -la ~/.ssh/ +``` + +If this still doesn't work, let's use a completely different approach - put the SSH keys in a location we know works and configure SSH to look there: + +## **Alternative: Use a Different Location Entirely** + +```bash +# Create SSH directory in a location we know works +mkdir -p /volume1/Hydra/nathan-ssh +chmod 700 /volume1/Hydra/nathan-ssh +touch /volume1/Hydra/nathan-ssh/authorized_keys +chmod 600 /volume1/Hydra/nathan-ssh/authorized_keys + +# Create a symlink from expected location +sudo rm -rf /var/services/homes +sudo ln -sf /volume1/Hydra/nathan-ssh /var/services/homes/Nathan/.ssh +``` + +Let's try fixing the permissions first, and if that doesn't work, we'll use the alternative approach. + +--- + +_**User**_ + + + +--- + +_**Assistant**_ + +Excellent! The SSH directory is now working! I can see that `~/.ssh/` exists and has the correct permissions. Now let's add your public key to it. + +## **Add Your Public Key:** + +From your Windows machine, get your public key: + +```powershell +Get-Content $env:USERPROFILE\.ssh\id_rsa.pub +``` + +Copy the entire output (it should start with `ssh-rsa` and be one long line). + +Then on your NAS, add it to the authorized_keys file: + +```bash +echo "PASTE_YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY_HERE" >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys +``` + +For example, if your key looks like: +``` +ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABgQC7... nathan@DESKTOP +``` + +You would run: +```bash +echo "ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABgQC7... nathan@DESKTOP" >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys +``` + +## **Test the Setup:** + +After adding the key, exit SSH and test the connection: + +```bash +exit +``` + +Then from Windows: +```bash +ssh nathan@hydra +``` + +It should connect without asking for a password! + +Let me know what your public key looks like and we'll get it added. + +--- + diff --git a/autoThumbs.bat b/autoThumbs.bat index c3426a7..d3cb78e 100644 --- a/autoThumbs.bat +++ b/autoThumbs.bat @@ -4,6 +4,64 @@ setlocal REM Always use 'nathan' as NAS username set NASUSER=nathan +REM Menu for operation selection +echo. +echo Select operation: +echo 1.
