Step 1: Prepare Synology

The first thing to do is to enable SSH login on Diskstation. To do this, go to the "Control Panel" > "Terminal {{< gallery match="images/1/.png" >}} After that you can log in via "SSH", the specified port and the administrator password (Windows users take Putty or WinSCP). {{< gallery match="images/2/.png" >}} I log in via Terminal, winSCP or Putty and leave this console open for later.

Step 2: create portainer folder

I create a new directory called "portainer" in the Docker directory. {{< gallery match="images/3/*.png" >}} Then I go to the portainer directory with the console and create a folder and a new file called "portainer.yml". {{< terminal >}} cd /volume1/docker/portainer mkdir portainer_data vim portainer.yml

{{</ terminal >}} Here is the content of the "portainer.yml" file:

version: '3'

services:
  portainer:
    image: portainer/portainer:latest
    container_name: portainer
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 90070:9000
      - 9090:8000
    volumes:
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - ./portainer_data:/data

More useful Docker images for home use can be found in the [Dockerverse]({{< ref "dockerverse" >}} "Dockerverse").

Step 3: Portainer start

I can also make good use of the console in this step. I start the portainer server via Docker Compose. {{< terminal >}} sudo docker-compose -f portainer.yml up -d

{{</ terminal >}} After that I can call my Portainer server with the IP of the diskstation and the assigned port from "Step 2". I enter my admin password and choose the local variant. {{< gallery match="images/4/.png" >}} As you can see, everything works great! {{< gallery match="images/5/.png" >}}
