Installing Backdrop CMS on Synology NAS (File Permission Issue)
Submitted by admin on Wed, 05/14/2025 - 3:24pmHowdy folks. I know this is probably a niche blog post, but if you happen be using a Synology NAS (DSM 7+) for web development, and you are trying to work with Backdrop CMS, and are running into file permission issues, this post is for you.
I'm writing it primarily because it took me forever to finally the installer module to work. That module allows you to easily download and install modules for Backdrop directly into your site.
It all comes down to the user and group that your Synology NAS uses for Apache.
