ArangoDB is a free and open-source native graph database system. ArangoDB is a multi-model database system since it supports three data models (graphs, JSON documents, key/value), with one database core and a unified query language AQL (ArangoDB Query Language). AQL is mainly a declarative language and allows the combination of different data access patterns in a single query. ArangoDB is a NoSQL database system, but AQL is similar in many ways to SQL. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install ArangoDB on your Synology NAS with Docker & Portainer.
STEP 1
Please Support My work by Making a Donation.
STEP 2
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 arangodb. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.
STEP 4
Now create two new folders inside the arangodb folder that you created at STEP 3 and name them apps and data. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.
STEP 5
Log into Portainer using your username and password. On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Stacks then + Add stack. Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 6
In the Name field type in arangodb. Follow the instructions in the image below.
version: "3.9"
services:
arangodb:
image: arangodb
container_name: ArangoDB
hostname: arangodb
mem_limit: 2g
network_mode: host
volumes:
- /volume1/docker/arangodb/data:/var/lib/arangodb3:rw
- /volume1/docker/arangodb/apps:/var/lib/arangodb3-apps:rw
environment:
ARANGO_ROOT_PASSWORD: mariushosting
restart: on-failure:5
Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value for ARANGO_ROOT_PASSWORD and type in your own root password. mariushosting is an example for a root password.
STEP 7
Scroll down the page until you see a button called Deploy the stack. Click on it. Follow the instructions in the image below. The installation process can take up to a few minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection.
STEP 8
If everything goes right, you will see this message at the top right of your screen: “Success Stack successfully deployed“.
STEP 9
Go back to STEP 1 or you will deal with karma 🙂
STEP 10
The installation process can take up to a few seconds/minutes. It will depend on your Internet speed connection. Now open your browser and type in http://Synology-ip-address:8529 Type in root as username and your own ARANGO_ROOT_PASSWORD that you have previously created at STEP 6. Click Login. Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 11
Click Select DB:_system. Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 12

Enjoy ArangoDB!
