synopoke

Pokes Synology to index new media imported by Sonarr

Summary

This is a JS script that periodically checks for imported downloads in Sonarr. If it finds new media, it will call synoindex on that file.

Usage

1. Install NodeJs from the DiskStation package manager.

2. SSH into DiskStation and run npm install forever -g. This is required to run the script as a daemon.

3. Copy deploy/synopoke.js to the DiskStation's /root/ directory

4. Edit deploy/S99synopoke.sh and find the following line /root/synopoke.js host port apiKey restartAfter &. Replace the parameters host port apiKey restartAfter with the following:

   • host - IP address or host name of the Sonarr server
   • port - port of the Sonarr server
   • apiKey - your Sonarr API key
   • restartAfter - how often you would want to check for new media in Sonarr (in milliseconds)

5. Copy deploy/S99synopoke.sh to the DiskStation's /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/ directory

6. SSH into DiskStation and run chmod 755 /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S99synopoke.sh, then /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S99synopoke.sh start &.

Notes

1. The first time synopoke is run, it will look for all media that was imported by Sonarr. This could take a while if the list is long. Succeeding runs will only look for the latest media.

2. If you updated DSM, you may need to do steps 3-5 again.
