Readeck is a simple web application that lets you save the precious readable content of web pages you like and want to keep forever. See it as a bookmark manager and a read later tool. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Readeck on your UGREEN NAS using Docker and Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Readeck v0.15.6 release.
