Portainer

Portainer is a universal container management tool that helps users deploy and manage container-based applications without needing to know how to write any platform-specific code.

Portainer Edge Agent

Assuming you have Docker installed on your Synology NAS, you may run the Edge Agent to connect it to Portainer on another host!

For Synolgy NAS you have to change the volume. See below.

On line three of the command you have to change the volume to match that of Synology.

-v /var/lib/docker/volumes:/var/lib/docker/volumes \

Change that line to

-v /volume1/@docker/volumes:/var/lib/docker/volumes \

Then run the command and viola! You can now connect to your Synology NAS through portainer using the Edge Agent!

Do not run the below command. You have to get it from your Portainer dahboard!

The command will look similar to this.

docker run -d \
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
-v /volume1/@docker/volumes:/var/lib/docker/volumes \
-v /:/host \
-v portainer_agent_data:/data \
--restart always \
-e EDGE=1 \
-e EDGE_ID=YOURSECRETID \
-e EDGE_KEY=YOURSECRETKEY \
-e CAP_HOST_MANAGEMENT=1 \
--name portainer_edge_agent \
portainer/agent

Portainer is a lightweight management UI which allows you to easily manage your different Docker environments (Docker hosts or Swarm clusters). Portainer is meant to be as simple to deploy as it is to use. It consists of a single container that can run on any Docker engine (can be deployed as Linux container or a Windows native container, supports other platforms too). Portainer allows you to manage all your Docker resources (containers, images, volumes, networks and more!) It is compatible with the standalone Docker engine and with Docker Swarm mode.

Demo

You can try out the public demo instance: http://demo.portainer.io/ (login with the username admin and the password tryportainer).

Please note that the public demo cluster is reset every 15min.

Alternatively, you can deploy a copy of the demo stack inside a play-with-docker (PWD) playground:

Unlike the public demo, the playground sessions are deleted after 4 hours. Apart from that, all the settings are the same, including default credentials.
