I use Gogs on my Synology NAS for personal use and I love it. Mostly because it's so easy to setup and deploy - cross-compiling the binary for ARM was simple, after that it was just a matter of SCPing it to the NAS itself.

It's not as feature rich as other options, but it does it's job well.

Care to share how did you get it working on Synology? Thanks very much.

Uhm, basically I built it on my mac with

GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm GOARM=7 go build

See http://dave.cheney.net/2012/09/08/an-introduction-to-cross-c... for cross compilation instructions.

Then I created a new user, scpd the distribution and added gogs binary to rc.local. I also installed git from the Synology package manager. There was some tweaking involved, but that was mostly it.

Thanks izacus for sharing!

I would be interested by a more in-depth how-to too.

Synology has also just announced Docker support on DSM 5.2 beta [1], so we could also run Gogs as a docker image :)
