How to find the QPKG file name of an installed package on QNAP NAS?

Last modified date: 2026-07-07

Applicable Products

All QNAP NAS models running QTS or QuTS hero

Scenario

App Center shows user-friendly display names (for example "Virtualization Station"), but when managing packages via SSH or CLI, you need the internal QPKG name (for example QKVM). The display name and the QPKG file name are often completely different, which makes it hard to find the right init script or package directory without a reference.

Solution

All installed packages are registered in /etc/config/qpkg.conf. You can query this file to map any display name to its corresponding QPKG name, or to enumerate all installed packages at once.

Step 1: SSH into the NAS

Connect via SSH:

ssh admin@<NAS_IP>

Screenshot needed: SSH terminal connected and showing shell prompt.

Step 2: List all display names and their QPKG file names

Run the following command:

cat /etc/config/qpkg.conf | grep -E "Display_Name|QPKG_File"

The output pairs each display name with its corresponding QPKG file:
e.g.:

Display_Name = License Center
QPKG_File = LicenseCenter.qpkg
Display_Name = Notification Center
QPKG_File = NotificationCenter.qpkg
Display_Name = QuLog Center
QPKG_File = QuLog.qpkg
Display_Name = QTS SSL Certificate
QPKG_File = QcloudSSLCertificate.qpkg
Display_Name = Resource Monitor
QPKG_File = ResourceMonitor.qpkg
Display_Name = myQNAPcloud
QPKG_File = MyCloudNas.qpkg
Display_Name = Helpdesk
QPKG_File = helpdesk.qpkg
Display_Name = SMB Service
QPKG_File = Samba.qpkg
Display_Name = File Station 5
QPKG_File = FileStation5.qpkg
Display_Name = Network & Virtual Switch
QPKG_File = netmgr.qpkg
Display_Name = NVIDIA GPU Driver
QPKG_File = NVIDIA_GPU_DRV.qpkg
Display_Name = Advanced Network Driver
QPKG_File = AdvancedNetDriver.qpkg
Display_Name = Malware Remover
QPKG_File = MalwareRemover.qpkg
Display_Name = Virtualization Station
QPKG_File = QKVM.qpkg
Display_Name = Container Station
QPKG_File = container-station.qpkg
Display_Name = Ubuntu Linux Station
QPKG_File = ubuntu-hd.qpkg
Display_Name = Hybrid Backup Sync
QPKG_File = HybridBackup.qpkg
Display_Name = HybridMount
QPKG_File = CacheMount.qpkg
Display_Name = Browser Station
QPKG_File = browser-station.qpkg
Display_Name = QuObjects
QPKG_File = OSS.qpkg
