Twenty is an open-source CRM platform designed as a modern, flexible alternative to traditional solutions like Salesforce and Pipedrive. Twenty aims to address the high costs and data lock-in issues of conventional CRMs. With a user-friendly interface, Twenty offers customizable objects for storing unique data, advanced features for business process management, and the ability to serve as a versatile platform for building various business tools. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Twenty on your UGREEN NAS using Docker & Portainer.
This guide works perfectly with the latest Twenty v1.19.0 release.
STEP 1

Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your UGREEN NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.
STEP 3
â ď¸Mandatory: Enable HTTPS on your UGREEN NAS.
STEP 4
Create a new hostname on the noip website using your noip account. For example, I have created mariustwenty as Host and I use the free ddns.net domain. In the IP Address area, type in your own IPV4 IP address from your ISP, then click Create. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 5
Go to Files and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it twenty. Follow the instructions in the image below.

STEP 6
Now create three new folders inside the twenty folder that you have previously created at STEP 5 and name them data, db, redis. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

STEP 7

On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Stacks then + Add stack. Follow the instructions in the image below.

đ˘Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. Iâve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I donât run any ADS, I donât require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I donât collect IPs, emails, and I donât have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also donât have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. Itâs something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.
