Docker

Docker is an open platform, built by Docker, Inc., for developers to build, ship, and run applications. Synology has developed an optimized Docker management GUI for users to create and manage containers on their Synology NAS, and you can find detailed information about our Docker package in the rest of the help articles.

For more information on Docker, you can also refer to Docker official documents, including Docker Swarm (Requires DSM 6.2 and Docker 17.05 or newer version), Docker Compose, and Docker CLI.

If you want to deploy a container, we suggest you to read the guide for each Docker image provided on Docker Hub first. It’s always recommended to read the information pages of the images before creating containers, as some information may be crucial regarding creating containers. For example, linuxserver/sonarr image requires users to configure volume settings in order to save the downloaded files.
