FileBot

i try to download and setting up many times, it doesn't work when i start... a few seconds stop, i can't run terminal for run script.

i'm newbie of this, i want to do Hardlink in NAS DS224+(DSM7.2.2)

if it works i will purchase the license

What have you tried so far? Where are you stuck? Screenshots?


If you're using Windows, then I would recommend using the FileBot Desktop application and then simply hardlink files remotely via a SMB network share. Both Synology NAS on the server-side and Windows 11 on the client-side do support the SMB unix extensions that allow you to create hardlinks via SMB. See [FAQ] What is a hardlink? › Notes on SMB network shares for details.


If you must run a Linux Desktop with FileBot inside a container on your Synology NAS and connect to that remotely, then you can use the filebot-xpra container.

This is my setting, is it correct?

i think it's about license, actually i need to try it first, if it works i can support lifetime license, Hardlink function can't use free trial isn't?

Your settings are so completely wrong - in many ways - in ways that are not obvious to non-technical users - I don't even know where to start. Did you use ChatGPT by any chance? Better to just scrap and forget everything you have so far and start from scratch.


I did try to run the rednoah/filebot:xpra container on my Synology NAS, and did indeed run into issues with disabled ports, ACL permissions, etc. But you just need to read every error message and then re-configure accordingly until it works.


Please follow the [DOCKER] How do I run the FileBot Desktop application on my Synology NAS? tutorial I have written for you. There's not much too it. Create project, copy & paste the docker-compose.yml and change the volume mapping to your media folder.

Your docker issues are completely unrelated to FileBot licensing. When you see and are able to use the Desktop application, and try to hardlink files, then FileBot will ask for a license. Please read How do I evaluate FileBot? for details. That said, the first step in evaluating FileBot is to actually see the application, click on buttons, load files, etc.







If you wan to access the filebot-xpra container via your custom domain from the internet, then you will also need to figure out port forwarding and security. The instructions don't cover that. I recommend sticking to the local network, for latency, for security, for simplicity, etc.
