Automated Redpill Loader (ARPL) is a bootable loader image that installs Synology DSM on generic x86 hardware or VMs by automatically detecting devices, patching the kernel/ramdisk, and configuring boot parameters. It provides terminal, web, and SSH menus for configuration without manual VID/PID or MAC setup.
Use cases
- build a DIY Synology NAS on custom hardware
- boot Synology DSM from a USB stick on a home server
- run DSM in a virtual machine
- auto-detect USB VID/PID for a Redpill loader
- patch DSM zImage and ramdisk automatically
- configure SataPortMap and DiskIdxMap for non-device-tree models
When to choose
- you want a user-friendly automated DSM loader with web/SSH menus
- your hardware uses SATA ports and at least 4GB RAM
- you need automatic peripheral detection via built-in kernel modules
When to avoid
- you need active maintenance or updates - the project is archived
- your disks are SAS/SCSI or behind HBA cards on unsupported models
- you want SMART/serial number support on models other than DS3615xs/DS3617xs/DS3622xs+
