Simple Synology NAS Media Index Server

Simple Media Index Server is a web service wrapper for Synology NAS native synoindex.

Introduction

Since Synology DSM 6.0 comes Docker support (https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/6.0). Users run many media services(ex. sickrage / couchpotato / transmission) in the docker. But we can't notify Synology NAS to reindexing new files in the docker's container.

So, with simple-synoindex-client , now you can run synoindex inside the docker's container and request simple-synoindex-server to calling native synoindex to reindexing your new files.
