Using Docker on Synology NAS | 4K TUTORIAL

Docker is an awesome format for creating ultra efficient micro services for Synology NAS. In this video we are going to go over how to setup a Docker container on Synology DSM, unlocking the full potential of your NAS!

In this introductory video we are going go over how to setup a docker container by demonstrating how to setup a hand break container, which allows for your NAS to encode videos from one format to another.

Thank you. You did a great job of walking us through the proper steps. I had spent all last night trying to get a couple of Dockers to work with no luck, as I never could access them. Today, I watched your video and in 10 minutes had 10 Dockers up and running. Again, thank you!

Thanks for these tutorials. I've been using these NAS systems for over a decade, and I'm still learning new ways to configure them. Plus all these extra packages don't often have the best documentation. Much easier to watch someone else do it and repeat.

This tutorial was incredibly helpful! A few tips that may help others. I have a DS218+ 6GB RAM. I am using my handbrake to encode 4K Plex friendly videos. Other than learning my way through how to properly set up the custom environment variable (Category, preset name > Plex, Plex4K is my example) AND having to rename the 'test' video since it would not try to encode a video that it thought it had already encoded successfully. I was getting the video conversion end successfully at 48bytes on the output file size, What fixed this was bumping the 1GB ram usage to 2GB. Estimated to take 50+hours on the 20GB 4K file lol

I recently discovered your YouTube channel when looking how to set up GitEA on a Synology server. Not only did I do that, but I have learned so much more from you tutorials—reverse proxy and this one were 2 of my favourites. Having Handbrake on my Synology is exactly what I needed to manage my media files that I use for Plex. Thanks so much!

[Sangroid]

Thank you for showing the use of a Handbrake docker! I didn't know there was a docker for that, works perfectly!

[Evolved-]

This is the type of tutorial I was looking for. Perfect.

[Mr_Bacciagalupe]

I was wondering how to run Handbrake on a Synology and this helped. Much appreciated and thank you!

[cloudssecurity]

this is really helpful, i searched a lot and this is the only video helped a beginner like myself

[Brieke]

Thanks for this video, I have been trying to figure how to set up a docker container on my NAS and this was great explanation.

[daveladd]

Nice job of explaining a complex subject. I'd seen references to docker - but really didn't know what it was.. just a nice job - thank you..

[jluz]

amazing thank you.. I watch a few other vids on this but yours was the best.. thank you..

[danielem]

Very useful and well explained! Thanks!

[noahm]

Very good video. Thanks for the upload.

[bafy]

That was a great clear tutorial. Thank you so much.

[DavidM]

I've been watching this video ( thank you very much by the way ) for the 3rd or 4th time as a step by step guide to set up my first Docker container. But, there must have been a big upgrade in the intervening months as Docker's menus have changed fairly substantially.

[ystebadvonschlegel]

Great pace and clear explanation. Very well done.

[RicardoBeltran]

Gracias, was easy to see how to mount the volumns

[MaximilianoFerrero]

@SpaceRex any chance for a tutorial on Sonarr in Docker? I was able to launch the container and set up almost all the configs using this tutorial, but I have a problem setting up the folders to monitor and the user for the download station. I keep coming across permission issues. Thanks in advance! Your tutorials are super helpful. By the way, Sonarr, Radarr, Mono, etc. are no longer available in the Package Center so I had to go the Docker Way.

[balthasargerards]

Good tutorial I could follow it right away, thanks....Suggestion, maybe one for a Pi-hole?

Can you do a video showing how to setup jellyfin using docker in Synology? I think that would be something a lot of people would want to see.
