Requirements & Installation
On the NAS
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| DSM | DSM 7.x (verified against DSM 7.3.1-86003 on a DS218+) |
| SSH service | enabled under Control Panel → Terminal & SNMP → Enable SSH service |
| SSH user | a DSM user with shell access |
| passwordless sudo | optional, but required for /smart-status, /health-summary, /dsm-update-check and all Docker commands (see "Passwordless sudo") |
| Container Manager | optional, only for the Docker/Compose commands |
On your local machine
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | latest version |
| OpenSSH client | for all NAS connections |
| Bash | for the plugin commands |
No DSM Web API and no extra package on the NAS are required — Synology Manager Plus uses SSH and the standard tools DSM ships with, nothing else.
Installation
Synology Manager Plus is installed as a Claude Code plugin via a marketplace entry. Add the GitHub repository as a marketplace, then install the plugin:
/plugin marketplace add CallMeTechie/synology-manager-plus
/plugin install synology-manager-plus@synology-manager-plusAlternatively, open the interactive plugin manager with /plugin, add the marketplace and install the plugin from the list. All commands — such as /first-run — are then available directly in Claude Code.
