How to Install Bazarr on Your Synology NAS

Bazarr is a companion application to Sonarr and Radarr that manages and downloads subtitles based on your requirements. You define your preferences by TV show or movie and Bazarr takes care of everything for you. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Bazarr on your Synology NAS using Docker.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Bazarr v1.4.3 release.
