@hgy59 as you are the maintainer, heads-up on this PR.
It now build properly on x64. Will require rework on rw_locks potentially.
At first glance it looks like installing & upgrading OK but it fails to login so can't really test functionality for now.
Haven't investigated the issue yet but now happy it does build!

[th0ma7]

It actually run really well. Clearly I needed some sleep as the issue was a forgoten password change.
It looks like running really well and is actually much more user friendly than 3.x branch. Looks promising.

@th0ma7 thanks for setting this up. I never succeeded to build this version until now.

regarding your TODO: Update src/GeoLite2.mmdb.zip
I bundled the latest public available db GeoLite2.mmdb.zip. Since 2020 you cannot download updated db without a login.
So there is nothing to do here.

@hgy59 give it a shot, it runs surprisingly well...

[th0ma7]

@hgy59 is there a way I can provide a link from the build artifacts of github-action so a user can test it out (e.g. #3984)

You find a "packages" link on the github action page.
Example for Build #679

There is always a single artifact file containing all spk files of all successfully built archs.

Yes, surprising 🥇. I tested on a very limited DS115j. The interaction is slow, but just works.

The version 4.2 is really new (just 2 days off). With version 4.0 I never succeeded to build (nDPI vs. ntopng).

Thanks for your good work.

LGTM
just needs a rebase to include #4254

My nvme just died... lacking a PC for a few days.
Found one, gtg. PR was in a readiness state to use 4254, rebased with no changes. Merging.

[th0ma7]

@hgy59 I just noticed you had updated lua to latest in background, good call and thnx.
Now merged. Package release will have to wait a bit until my RMA comes in unless you want to take it off the #4211 list yourself.

@th0ma7 and @hgy59 Thanks guys for the great work.
Can I refer to the official documentation when configuring the Synology version of ntopng?

I have a Fritz!Box router on my home network and I want to use this script (ntopng fritzdump.sh docs) to monitor the WAN interface. I tested this script on my Mac OS and to achieve the successful run, I had to do the following:

1. stop the currently running ntopng: sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.ntop.ntopng.plist.
2. start the script fritzdump.sh: sudo ntopng/tools/fritzdump.sh <username> <password>
3. launch ntopng: sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.ntop.ntopng.plist

After that I was able to see the traffic in the stdin interface:

So, my question is, could I login to my Synology 920+ through SSH (or using Task Scheduler) and do the steps above which I've done for Mac OS?

[hgy59]

@khashashin I don't know wheter the fritzdump.sh will run on your diskstation, but you can try...
To stop/start ntopng you can use the stop/start button in the package center of your diskstation.
Or on the command line use sudo synopkg stop ntopng and sudo synopkg start ntopng.

But please consider: there will be no ntopng package available in DSM 7, as starting ntopng needs root access.

@hgy59 Thank you for your reply! I already have an upgrade to DSM 7 :(
I think the only way to me is to look at ntopng Docker version.
