What is Synology Manager Plus?
Synology Manager Plus is a plugin for Claude Code that administers a Synology NAS entirely over SSH — no DSM Web API. Instead of clicking through DiskStation Manager, you issue structured commands like /health-summary, /smart-status or /compose-up and keep storage, disk health, logs, DSM updates and Docker stacks in view from a single session.
Who is it for?
- NAS homelab operators with one or several Synology DiskStations
- admins who prefer handling storage, SMART health, Docker and system monitoring over SSH with clear commands rather than the web UI
- anyone who wants to manage multiple NAS from one interface — including a fleet-wide
--alloverview
What can Synology Manager Plus do?
- guided setup and SSH key deployment (
/first-run,/setup-ssh) - connectivity and health diagnostics (
/diag,/health-summary) - SMART disk health with a pass/warn/critical verdict (
/smart-status) - storage and shares, NFS/SMB mounts (
/list-shares,/manage-mounts) - system logs from four sources and read-only DSM update status (
/logs,/dsm-update-check) - Docker Compose control (
/compose-up,/compose-down,/compose-updateand more) - multi-NAS management with an active NAS and fleet sweep (
/nas-list,/nas-use,/nas-add,/nas-remove)
A fork with added value
Synology Manager Plus is a fork of danielrosehill/synology-manager-plugin (original idea and credit: Daniel Rosehill). The fork fixes the three biggest blockers of the original — a working marketplace installation, interactive setup in the main context instead of a broken sub-agent, and real health diagnostics — and grows the command set across several releases to add SMART, logs, DSM updates, Docker Compose and multi-NAS.
How it differs from Fleet Manager
Synology Manager Plus specializes in Synology NAS (DSM, RAID, SMART, volumes). Its sibling plugin Fleet Manager is the generic counterpart for any Linux host (VPS, mini PCs, Raspberry Pis). Both can be used side by side without trouble.
