In the future, this channel will share many interesting and fun private services in Nas, all taught simply using Portainer.

Next, let’s get to the point of “how to build Portainer in Synology Nas”.

The whole process “does not require any code”, just use Synology’s “Task Scheduler”.

Introduction to Portainer

Portainer is a lightweight Docker container management tool.

Its advantages are:

UI interface (easy operation)
Easy deployment (more useful and fun services will be shared in the future)
Multi-platform support (Synology, QNAP, Linux, Windows)
Easy management (network, images, containers)

With it, we can easily build various services in Nas. In the future, I will also share various services I have built in Nas, and Portainer is indispensable here.

1. Key Point

Follow for free, never get lost.

2. Install Packages

In Synology Package Center, search for:

Docker (for Synology versions below 7.2)
Container Manager (for Synology versions 7.2 and above)

3. File Station

Open File Station, go to the “docker” folder, and create a “portainer” folder.

4. Task Scheduler

In Synology “Control Panel”, find “Task Scheduler”, click on “User-defined script” in “Scheduled Tasks”.

5. Installation

First, configure the settings: Schedule Settings -> Task Settings

Paste the code:

docker run -d --name=portainer \
-p 8000:8000 \
-p 9000:9000 \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v /volume1/docker/portainer:/data \
--restart=always \
portainer/portainer-ce

6. Run the Script

Click on “Run”.

7. Check if it is completed (optional step)

Due to issues with the domestic network, there may be situations where the image cannot be pulled. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm. If it still doesn’t work, you can set up a domestic source.

Two verification methods - choose one

You can also check if Portainer has been successfully pulled in the docker suite

8. Enter Portainer

Set a password

9. Settings

Initialize environment variables
Set the local IP in the environment variables for easy access (the local IP is the IP address of your local Synology NAS)
