QNAP/Synology Files and MeshCentral

[SomeGuru]

Hi MeshCentral team and community,

I have been looking into both QNAP and Synology NAS appliances to potentially have not AWS/Azure based file storage. I see there is a NPM for QNAP and an API call for Synology.

Is there a way that this code I am sharing below could help facilitate the incorporation of bringing those storage's into use with MeshCentral and the Config.Json file to manage the credentials part of the Modules and API calls?

Snyology:

// Replace YOUR_SYNOLOGY_IP with the IP address of your Synology device
const SYNOLOGY_BASE_URL = 'http://YOUR_SYNOLOGY_IP:5000';

// Replace YOUR_USERNAME and YOUR_PASSWORD with your Synology login credentials
const auth = {
  user: 'YOUR_USERNAME',
  pass: 'YOUR_PASSWORD'
};

// Function to login to the Synology device and obtain an authentication token
const login = () => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    request.post({
      url: `${SYNOLOGY_BASE_URL}/webapi/auth.cgi`,
      form: {
        api: 'SYNO.API.Auth',
        version: 2,
        method: 'login',
        account: auth.user,
        passwd: auth.pass,
        session: 'FileStation',
        format: 'sid'
      }
    }, (error, response, body) => {
      if (error) {
        reject(error);
      } else {
        const data = JSON.parse(body);
        if (data.success) {
          resolve(data.data.sid);
        } else {
          reject(new Error('Authentication failed'));
        }
      }
    });
  });
};

// Function to logout of the Synology device
const logout = (sid) => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    request.post({
      url: `${SYNOLOGY_BASE_URL}/webapi/auth.cgi`,
      form: {
        api: 'SYNO.API.Auth',
        version: 1,
        method: 'logout',
        session: 'FileStation',
        _sid: sid
      }
    }, (error, response, body) => {
      if (error) {
        reject(error);
      } else {
        const data = JSON.parse(body);
        if (data.success) {
          resolve();
        } else {
          reject(new Error('Logout failed'));
        }
      }
    });
  });
};

// Function to list files in a directory on the Synology device
const listFiles = (sid, path) => {
  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    request.get({
      url: `${SYNOLOGY_BASE_URL}/webapi/entry.cgi`,
      qs: {
        api: 'SYNO.FileStation.List',
        version: 2,
        method: 'list',
        folder_path: path,
        sort_by: 'name',
        sort_direction: 'asc',
        additional: 'real_path,size,owner,time,perm',
        _sid: sid
      }
    }, (error, response, body) => {
      if (error) {
        reject(error);
      } else {
        const data = JSON.parse(body);
        if (data.success) {
          resolve(data. 

QNAP:
To install qnap-ts-api, you can run the following command:
sudo npm install qnap-ts-api

Example Module:

// Connect to the QNAP device
const qnapClient = qnap({
  host: 'qnap.example.com',
  username: 'admin',
  password: 'password'
});

// List the files in a directory
qnapClient.fs.list({ path: '/volume1/share' }).then(data => {
  console.log(data);
});

// Upload a file to the QNAP
qnapClient.fs.upload({
  localPath: './my_file.txt',
  remotePath: '/volume1/share/my_file.txt'
}).then(() => {
  console.log('File uploaded successfully');
});

// Download a file from the QNAP
qnapClient.fs.download({
  remotePath: '/volume1/share/my_file.txt',
  localPath: './my_file.txt'
}).then(() => {
  console.log('File downloaded successfully');
}); 

Of course I have given just a general script in hopes this can help advance the development on this, but this is not tried and true tested code as I am just new to the whole scripting process.

My hope is that we can tap into these NAS devices for some serious file storage and transfers without incurring large data transfer bills from hosting the servers in cloud spaces. Also to avoid S3 buckets.

Please use triple backticks to enclose the code. Add the language to add syntax highlighting. The GitHub docs have a good example.

```javascript
const request = require('request');
```

Changes made, Thanks for the highlight...
