Subscription Manager is a web application that helps you track and manage your subscriptions. It provides an easy-to-use interface for adding, editing, deleting, and viewing subscriptions, with features like calendar view, payment summaries, and NTFY integration for notifications. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Subscription Manager on your Synology NAS using Docker & Portainer.
