Formbricks is a solution for in-product micro-surveys that promises to supercharge your product experience. Formbricks provides a free and open source surveying platform. Gather feedback at every point in the user journey with beautiful in-app, website, link and email surveys. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Formbricks on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Dockhand.
This guide works perfectly with the latest Formbricks v5.4.2Â release.
STEP 1
Please Support My work by Making a Donation.
STEP 2
Install Dockhand using my step by step guide. If you already have Dockhand installed on your UGREEN NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Dockhand version.
STEP 3
â ď¸Mandatory: Enable HTTPS on your UGREEN NAS.
STEP 4
Create a new hostname on the noip website using your noip account. For example, I have created mariusbricks as Host and I use the free ddns.net domain. In the IP Address area, type in your own IPV4 IP address from your ISP, then click Create. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 5
Create a new hostname on the noip website using your noip account. For example, I have created mariusrustfs as Host and I use the free ddns.net domain. In the IP Address area, type in your own IPV4 IP address from your ISP, then click Create. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 6
â ď¸Mandatory: Add Read & Write Permissions to the Docker Folder.
STEP 7
Go to Files and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it formbricks. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

STEP 8
Now create six new folders inside the formbricks folder that you have previously created at STEP 7 and name them db, redis, rustfsdata, rustfslogs, saml, uploads. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

STEP 9
Follow my step by step guide on how to activate SMTP for your Gmail account. This step is mandatory. Note: If you don’t want to use the easiest way for SMTP with Google and you already have SMTP details from your own Mail Server, you can just skip this STEP and use your personalized email SMTP details instead.
STEP 10
Open your browser and type in http://ugreen-ip-address:3866 to connect to your Dockhand container. On the left sidebar, click Stacks then + Create. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 11
In the Stack name field, type in formbricks. â ď¸Warning: Type in the name in lowercase letters. The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Follow the instructions in the image below.
