Homebridge on Synology RT2600ac router?

Has anyone already done this?

I know that it is possible to run Homebridge on some Synology NAS with Docker.

On the RT2600ac Docker is not avail, but it's also running a nix-based system very similar to the NAS systems, so I think it should somehow be possible to install and run Homebridge on it. However I couldn't find any howtos or basic instructions how to install stuff on this device.

It would be great if someone could lead me into the right direction.

(This is not a request for a step-by-step guide, just push me in the right direction)

Id like to do this myself. I had this bookmarked as a possible guide: https://medium.com/@gregwym/setup-homebridge-on-synology-nas-without-docker-f42edd174d0e

Thanks, I’ll give it a try as soon as I‘m back home.

I’m not 100% on this but it seems as though the synology Docker packages are for Intel based synology devices (the routers use ARM based processors) since this is all built on Linux and since arm is supported by Docker you may be able to get it running in an unofficial manner.

If you are able to run Node.js on the router than it’s most likely possible. Start with it
