How to create a private TinfoilShop on NAS Synology

[maaochenggong]

Hi, Actually I use my NAS to install some game on my switch with protocol FTP on LAN. Because i begin to have several games, it's not very pratical to find the game i want install on my switch.
So I try to find a way to create a Tinfoil shop on my nas, at the begining, and after look on internet, I think I can use Github project like PHP-Tinfoil-Server. But i can't arrive to finilize the installation. There is someone try to do it or interested to help me?

try ownfoil via docker

It's a good idea, but all Synology NAS don't have docker. My NAS begin to be a little bit old but it work great again, so I don't need to change it.

I use tinfoilwebserver on my nas running windows server 2022. It has a ton of customization options, and it's being actively developed. Here's the link on github, it has native linux x64 binaries and you don't need to set up docker for it.

with 10 years old NAS, i can use x64 app!

But no problem. finally I have find a little Github how work easely on my very old NAS : PHPinfoil

I can't find more simply.

First step :
on Syno NAS config WEB STATION with PHP 8 or more and create a web server to put inside your web site

2nd STEP :
copy PHPinfoil.php inside and change the name (if you want to index.php)

3rd STEP :
create folders :
- /DATA/Games (for your games)
- /Cache (for the json file create by PHPinfoil)

4rd STEP :
config PHPinfoil.php (edit the files)

5rd STEP :
copy all games into the web site

and it's finish... after registrer the website on tinfoil all work fine!

Since this thread seems to be with experienced people. Is there a way to create a tinfoil shop (without ownfoil as i dont want to use docker) with windows 11 and NOT have to have the titleID in the filenames?

TinfoilWebServer requires TitleIDs in the name, and the torrent packs i download do not have the titleID in the names and it would be better if i didn't rename the files due to seeding. Any help other than suggesting to make a clone of the files would be appreciated!

I believe you can use Windows 11 but you need a way to share that drive on your network, you can setup ftp for that specific share drive.

Im not talking about using a NAS though, I'm just hi-jacking this thread for another question related to tinfoilwebserver and having the ability to host a tinfoil shop without having TitleIDs in the filenames

The title id tinfoil with nuts and tinfoilwebserver use is quite annoying.

Abstolutely thanks for this topic. I was searching some solution for manage my own games in a server remotely. This is a good thing for hollydays project!

Not sure where you get your torrents but aren't you supposed to unzip all the parts to get the nsp file anyway?

For renaming you can check switch library manager. If it's only a couple of files you can do it manually.

Btw if you are good at php you can mod the phpinfoil op linked, make it get the title id of the nsp file through a standalone program or python, then pass it through to switch. You can find more info on how to get title id of nsp files from this project: https://github.com/julesontheroad/NSC_BUILDER

they are already unzipped but the filenames dont have any titleID

I know how to rename them and can learn how to do it in bulk, the issues is my torrent program wont recognise them unless i rename them within the torrent individually which is time consuming as I'm trying to automate the process.

Im not good at PHP

Use symlinks if you do not want to rename.
