Deploying DockerTracker on Synology

Step-by-Step Guide

Step	Action
1	Install Docker Engine
2	Create a Docker Container
3	Pull and Launch DockerTracker
4	Access DockerTracker

1. Install Docker Engine

To install Docker on your system (e.g., a Linux-based environment like Synology's SSH terminla):

# Update the package manager
sudo apt-get update

# Install dependencies for Docker
sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common

# Add Docker's official GPG key
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/docker.gpg

# Add Docker's repository (adjust for your OS, here using Ubuntu as example)
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"

# Update package index again
sudo apt-get update

# Install Docker CE (Community Edition)
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

2. Create a Docker Container

Set up a container with persistent storage and port mapping:

# Launch DockerTracker container with custom config and download paths
docker run -d \
  --name docker-tracker \
  -p 8081:8080 \
  -v /volume1/docker/config:/config \
  -v /volume1/docker/downloads:/downloads \
  linuxserver/dockertracker

• -d: Run in detached mode.
• --name docker-tracker: Assign a cotnainer name.
• -p 8081:8080: Map host port 8081 to container port 8080.
• -v /volume1/...: Mount Synology volumes for config and downloads (adjust paths as needed).

3. Pull and Start DockerTracker

Ensure the image is pulled and the container starts:

# Pull the latest DockerTracker image
docker pull linuxserver/dockertracker

# Start the container (use the name from step 2)
docker start docker-tracker

4. Access DockerTracker

Once the container is running, open a web browser and navigate to:
http://<your_synology_ip>:8081

Replace <your_synology_ip> with your Synology NAS’s IP address (e.g., 192.168.1.100).
