Manual Publishing¶

This guide covers how to manually build and publish packages to SynoCommunity without using GitHub Actions CI.

Prerequisites¶

API Key Setup¶

Get your API key from synocommunity.com/profile
Create or update local.mk in the spksrc root:

PUBLISH_URL = https://api.synocommunity.com
PUBLISH_API_KEY = <your-key>
DISTRIBUTOR = SynoCommunity
DISTRIBUTOR_URL = https://synocommunity.com/
REPORT_URL = https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/issues
DEFAULT_TC = 7.1 7.2

Or generate automatically:

make setup-synocommunity

Building for All Architectures¶

Build all supported architectures in parallel:

make -j$(nproc) all-supported

Or build specific architectures:

make -j$(nproc) arch-x64-7.1 arch-armv7-7.1 arch-aarch64-7.1

Generic Architectures¶

These architectures generate a single package for multiple CPU models:

Generic Arch	Covers
x64	All Intel/AMD 64-bit
armv7	32-bit ARM Cortex
aarch64	64-bit ARM

Publishing¶

Publish packages (one at a time, not parallel):

make publish-all-supported

Or specific architectures:

make publish-arch-x64-7.1 publish-arch-armv7-7.1 publish-arch-aarch64-7.1

Warning

Do not parallelize publishing. The spkrepo server cannot handle concurrent uploads.

Dynamic Library Linking¶

Some packages share dependencies through dynamic linking:

cd spk/chromaprint
for arch in x64 evansport 88f6281 armv7 aarch64 hi3535; do
    make publish ARCH=$arch TCVERSION=7.1
done

Packages using this pattern: tvheadend, chromaprint, comskip

SRM Packages¶

SRM (Synology Router Manager) has no Package Center custom repository support.

Users must:

Download packages manually from synocommunity.com/packages
Install via manual upload

Build SRM packages:

make publish ARCH=armv7 TCVERSION=1.2

After Publishing¶

See Repository Activation for steps to activate your published packages.
