I’ve written a bot for [email protected] that I’m currently just running on my desktop. But I’d like to be able to set and forget it (except for when I do updates) by running it on my Synology NAS.

How can I best pull the node app from GitHub and run it on my Synology, preferably automatically running on start-up if the Synology is restarted.

      How do you run a docker container on Synology? I have a DS923+ which AFAIK should be able to run it, but when I search for Docker in the Package Manager the only thing that comes up is Synology’s own container manager, and I have no idea how to work with that.

        It’s just a wrapper on top of Docker. You can import your own yaml files when you create your setup.

        I was able to install docker on mine. I don’t remember if I had to grab the installer separately or if it showed up in my package manager though
