About
The Package-Center is the central hub on your DiskStation where you can install and de-install apps provided by Synology and selected 3rd party apps. By default not that much apps are provided and those provided are usually not up-to-date. I’m not talking about the great inhouse apps from Synology but about general useful apps like wordpress for example.
The Package Center

To do this open up your Package Center and click on Settings. In the settings that open change the Trust Level to
• Any publisher
Adding Software Sources
Next open the Package Sources Tab and click on Add.
In the following dialog box add a nice name for your software source in the Name field and the url of the software repository in the Location field.
Click on OK and enjoy the packages from your new source.
Connection failed. Please check your network and time settings. that means that one or more software sources are currently unavailable. Talk about clear communication….
Alright. That’s that. Now you know how to add community software sources to your Synology NAS. Check back soon to read more awesome tips.
I would probably pay for the look on your face right now. I’m sorry I couldn’t resist. Of course last but not least my personal list of currently working software sources.
