OmniSight is a lightweight, single-page monitoring dashboard that provides a unified, at-a-glance view of diverse infrastructure including Proxmox, Linux/Windows servers, Kubernetes, Docker, SNMP devices, firewalls, databases, storage systems, and services like Uptime Kuma, Prometheus, and Healthchecks. It features a modern responsive UI with draggable cards, real-time metrics, history charts, live logs, service controls, alerts via ntfy/Telegram/SMTP, and easy one-command agent deployment for push-based monitoring without opening inbound ports. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install OmniSight on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest OmniSight v2.0.3 release.

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.
