Synology Install Pwndrop with Portainer

My previous guide for Pwndrop involved the use of Task Scheduler. Today I’m offering a recommended and excellent alternative for installing the latest Pwndrop version via Portainer. Pwndrop is a self-deployable file hosting service for sending/sharing your private files over HTTP, HTTPS and WebDAV. The container is similar to the Synology file sharing option. In this step by step guide I will show you how to Install Pwndrop on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Pwndrop v1.0.1 release.

Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your Synology NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.

  • STEP 3

Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it pwndrop. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.
