How to Install Yuvomi on Your Synology NAS

How to Install Yuvomi on Your Synology NAS

Yuvomi is a self-hosted family planner that replaces a dozen paid apps with one home you actually own. Tasks, calendar, meals, recipes, shopping, pantry, budget, documents, health and more, packed into twenty switchable modules that talk to each other. It runs as a single Docker container on any home server or NAS. It stores everything in one SQLite database file. I’ve been running it on my Synology NAS for a few weeks. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Yuvomi on your Synology NAS using Docker & Dockhand.

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.
