How to Use Container Manager (Docker) on a Synology NAS - Beginners Guide

#Synology #ContainerManager #Docker

This step-by-step guide will show you how to install Container Manager on a Synology NAS and implement your own Docker containers! Container Manager is the "new" Docker application in versions of DSM newer than 7.2. While Container Manager is very similar to the old version of Docker, it has some awesome new features like Docker Compose. Learn everything about Container Manager in this full setup guide!

I finally feel like I have somewhat of a grasp on containers. Thank you.

just bought synology nas few days ago and setting it up.... whoa so much information that I can't digest gives me headache. Thank you I just didn't get anything out of watching well made video (totally on me) I might have to watch several more times repeatedly..

[KROLOV]

Just wanted to say thank you :) U saved me on the volume thing, was stuck on this one ....

[jayh.]

very good video, nice calm voice and perfectly to understand as a non native speaker :)

[QuikTechSolutions]

Frank, this is by far “THE BEST” video out there on YouTube. You have a gift of explaining complex topics in a way that is simple to understand! Loved every minute of it!

[TechMeOut]

OMG what a great tutorial. It was a pleasure to watch and i learned a lot! thank you Frank!

Thanks a lot, I find the defines for my container with your video.

I've got a whole mess of stuff running on Docker on an old Intel NUC machine I have. I am SO glad to hear you talk about the importance of docker compose. I... knew it, from just the way I am, but had no real reason, other than "can change it and try again". And I may move things like photoprism, qbit, *arr, plex, all from that machine onto the DS1522+. Hopefully, my docker compose setups for each will make that easy. I am SO glad to see the DSM allows it, too! (Instead of it being an afterthought...) It's too bad, though, you can't create "stacks", though, like "media", "photos", "databases" with multi-setup docker compose YAML files. Or can you? Now that I type it, I think you can....since the image location is in the dc.yaml, NOT in the UI when using Projects!

Massive solid and clean pitch. Thank you.

I can tell I should have got into NAS and docker in my 20's when I still had brain cells. In my late 30's I am barely keeping up with this.

[BrianDavids]

Thank you! Your videos are always so good and full of great insight!

[norbertbans]

Well done!!! This made me truly understand, how docker containers work. Well deserved thumbs-up and abo!!!

[Dutch]

Great video. It really gave an insight on how to practically use Container Manager on my Synology NAS. However I won't be using it for pihole. I'll run that on my Raspberry Pi 4B so it will remain active for all of my other devices when I have to shutdown my NAS.

[creativeartdesign]

Perfect information and very good expaind, good job.

[rlocone]

Thanks for explaining the mac/vlan. Appreciated it.

[Jase]

Great explanation Thank you very much!

[rmm]

Thank you so much for this awesome tutorial!

[duchampnya]

I have this error message "Bind mount failed: does not exists"
How can I fix it

[venti]

Simple, to the point information, just as I like it. Keep up the good work!

The tech GOAT is back at it again, thanks for the tutorial! I had a question though. How do the persistant volumes work? I recently setup a container (mbentley/omada-controller) and created folders for DATA/LOGS/WORK. The container runs fine and I was able to setup my Omada Controller, but I see no data/files at all in any of the mapped volumes (DATA/LOGS/WORK). Is this because I don't have a compose file?
