The QNAP TS-251 looks like a perfect platform for a COPS setup. so let's try to make it work!
For my own sake (so that I can correctly understand the problem) I rephrased your questions in a few points:
Q1 - Connect to server from the internet
- your external IP changes regularly (daily/monthly/???)
- you need to set up a Dynamic DNS and you choose PageKite
- you need to setup PageKite on your QNAP (normal install did not work)
- how to install PageKite on your QNAP
Q2 - "Secure" login to COPS
- multiple (2 or more) different users
- different content per user? (Not all users need to see all the the libraries, each have their own selection)
My answers:
First Q2 - Yes this is possible. I used this wiki page to make it work
https://github.com/seblucas/cops/wiki/User-based-config
If you need further assistance in setting this up, just ask!
Then Q1 - You said that the installation did not work. [Disclaimer: I do not have a QNAP not have I ever installed PageKite]
- have you installed Python version 2.x on your QNAP?
- have you tried (

If you prefer, you can download the program yourself and install wherever you like. Just remember to make the program executable by running: chmod +x pagekite.py

Link location:
https://pagekite.net/pk/pagekite.pyhttps://pagekite.net/pk/pagekite.py
- put it in a nice directory (for example ./cops/pagekite) and run it (first SSH into your QNAP, but you knew that
) from that directory.
And let us know if it works this way?
