Backup your Github repositories to your Synology DSM (MIT)

GitHub2Synology

A simple Ash (practically "BusyBox bash") script designed to run on the Synology DS range of file storage servers to backup all repositories (and wikis) for a user from Github.

Install

1. Ensure you have git installed on the Synology - this can be download from the SynoCommunity. The script also needs cUrl and jq but these seem standard on Synologys.

2. Now login to Github and go to https://github.com/settings/tokens and create a personal access token with the following scopes:

   • repo (repo itself including all subs) - Full control of private repositories
   • admin:org read:org - Read org and team membership

3. Add this token as the OAUTH_TOKEN in line 7 on the github2synology.sh script. (OAUTH_TOKEN="[PUT YOUR TOKEN HERE BETWEEN THE QUOTES]")

4. Ensure the backup path is correct on line 9. (BACKUP_PATH="/volume1/serverBackups/github/backup")

5. Copy the script over to your Synology and run it (all via SSH)
