Synology NAS Setup

This guide covers deploying the pellicle-watcher container using Synology's Container Manager app (DSM 7.2 or later). Make sure you have completed steps 1 and 2 (generating a token and creating the configuration file) before continuing.

Upload the Configuration File

First, create a folder for the project and upload your config.yml:

1. Open File Station.
2. Navigate to the docker shared folder (or create one if it doesn't exist).
3. Create a new folder called pellicle-watcher.
4. Upload your config.yml file into this folder.

Create the Project

1. Open Container Manager from the DSM main menu.
2. Go to the Project tab and click Create.
3. Enter a project name (e.g. pellicle-watcher).
4. Set the path to the folder you created (e.g. /volume1/docker/pellicle-watcher).
5. Select Create docker-compose.yml and paste the following into the editor:

services:
  pellicle-watcher:
    image: robotmay/pellicle-watcher:0.1.14
    network_mode: host
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /volume1/Photography:/data/Photography:ro
      - ./config.yml:/etc/pellicle-watcher/config.yml:ro
      - ./tls:/etc/pellicle-watcher/tls

6. Click Next, review the settings, then click Done to create and start the container.

Verify it's Running

In Container Manager, go to the Project tab. Your project should show a green status indicator. Click on it to view the container logs and confirm the watcher is listening on the configured port.

Now continue with step 5: Configure Pellicle.
