Synology Install Bazarr with Portainer

My previous guide for Bazarr involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest Bazarr version via Portainer. Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr. It can manage and download subtitles based on your requirements. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Bazarr on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Bazarr v1.4.3 release.
