[Synology] FlexGet Password help

[JeremieBergeron]

Hi,
When I connect to my Synology nas and I try this command flexget web passwd test, it display this error: root@nas:/usr/local/flexget/var# flexget web passwd test
-ash: flexget: command not found

What can I do to change the password?

Thank you

flexget web passwd <some_password>
should work, note you need at least 12 characters and non repeating ones.

Are you doing that command from inside the Flexget container? I assume on Synology uses a Docker container for Flexget?

[JeremieBergeron]

No, I am not using docker.
It is directly install from the package centor of Synology.

[JeremieBergeron]

You can see here that even if I had installed Flextget, I can not access it with python, so I can not modify the password

Hi,
Would it be possible to an answer?
Thank you very much

Did you solve this issue? I have the same one :-)

[JeremieBergeron]

Sorry, I did not found a solution :(

Hey mate. Synology don't make a flexget package. It's gotta be a community made thing. This is what I would do.

1. Run the package in package manager.
2. Log into cli and find out where and how it's running:
   ps aux |grep -a flexget (This will give you information on where the files are kept and how it's being run.)
3. Copy the whole command (ignore the first stuff, just from /volume1/ and all the way to the end.
4. Paste the command and delete the last few words probably daemon start or something.
5. Add web passwd [your long tricky password] to the end of the line. My password is something like "Redblu2021" so the line would look like:/volume1/python /volume1/@appstore/flexget/env/bin/flexget -c config.yml --logfile flexget.log web passwd Redblu2021 You should get a prompt saying Updated password

You should be good to log in now.

Great! Thanks a lot for your help. It worked and I got it installed.

I now have issues with how to use it. I am trying to make make it run with a simple RSS that should download for me a torrent file in a watch folder. I can not make it run, even using the most simple example, i get the error "Error loading config: Did not pass schema validation.''
I am changing the file from the gui and i copies good to the config.yml file... so gui is working fine!
The problem is more the format. I did some research and all.. But could one provide me an example of RSS that downloads teh torrent to a folder on my synology? Can you do an example with YTS Rss? Thanks

That's a whole other issue.
That means your yml is out of whack. Could be anything from a missing " to incorrect spacing. It's finiky as F. Find the line thats erroring out, fix it or start over and go back to basics.

I'm using a different setup. I download direct to rtorrent also running in docker. It's a direct handshake.

Are you using torrents? If you're using the standard Download station you have a few options. Either download the torrent to a folder Download station is watching or (what I used to use) DownloadStation CLI Adding on_output: for_accepted: downloadstation add -t "video/TV_Series/{{ series_name |replace(':','')}}" "{{ url }}" would download the torrent and send it to the Folder "/volume1/video/TV_Series/The Flash" All depends on your set up.

[kerryandjane]

Can you share your YML? share the whole thing (edit out passwords with #### or something). schema validation issues are finicky but easy to fix.

Thank you for your great step by step, works perfect for my synology!

For me /volume1/python /volume1/@appstore/flexget/env/bin/flexget -c config.yml --logfile flexget.log web passwd Redblu2021
worked ass well, thanks
