Adding the integration

You can find how to add the integration on the Integrations Management documentation page.

Use the correct DSM URL

Enter the HTTP or HTTPS URL of your Synology DSM web interface, for example http://diskstation.local:5000 or https://diskstation.local:5001. If DSM uses a self-signed certificate, add it under Management > Tools > Certificates so Homarr can connect securely.

Secrets

Username & Password

Name	Description
Username	Account username for authentication.
Password	Account password for authentication.

Administrators group required

Homarr reads system, storage, and utilization data from APIs that require membership in the default Administrators group.

Two-factor authentication is not supported

Accounts with 2-step verification enabled cannot authenticate with this integration. Use a dedicated service account without 2FA.

First-time setup

If login fails during testing, temporarily disable automatic blocking for invalid logins under Control Panel > Security > Protection, then re-enable it after Homarr connects successfully.

Steps to retrieve the credentials:

1. Create a dedicated DSM user with a strong password for Homarr.
2. Add the user to the default Administrators group so Homarr can read `SYNO.Core.System` metrics.
3. Under User Groups and Permissions, deny access to shared folders and most applications.
4. Allow login to DSM only, optionally restricted by source IP address.
5. Log in once with the service account in DSM to accept terms and conditions.

Storage volume selection

Health Monitoring and System Disks widgets can filter Synology storage volumes when every selected integration is a Synology DiskStation. Leave Visible storage volumes empty to show all volumes, or pick specific volumes from the list. When multiple Synology integrations are connected, volumes are labeled with the integration name.

Synology-only option

The volume filter is hidden when the widget also uses non-Synology integrations such as TrueNAS or Unraid.

Volume ordering

When no volume filter is configured, the first volume returned by DSM is not guaranteed to be volume_1.
