Doku is a simple, lightweight web-based application that allows you to monitor Docker disk usage in a user-friendly manner. The Doku displays the amount of disk space used by the Docker daemon, splits by images, containers, volumes, and builder cache. Doku is a great alternative to Glances. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Doku on your Synology NAS using Docker.
STEP 1

STEP 2
Install Container Manager via Synology “Package Center”. If you run an older DSM version (under 7.2), search for Docker instead of Container Manager.
STEP 3
Go to Control Panel / Task Scheduler / Create / Scheduled Task / User-defined script. Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 4
Once you click on User-defined script, a new window will open. Follow the instructions below:
- General: In the Task field type in Install Doku. Uncheck the “Enabled” option. Select root User.
- Schedule: Select Run on the following date then select “Do not repeat“.
- Task Settings: Check “Send run details by email“, add your email then copy paste the code below in the Run command area. After that, click OK.
docker run -d --name=doku \ -p 9090:9090 \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock:ro \ -v /:/hostroot:ro \ --restart always \ amerkurev/doku
STEP 5
After you click OK on STEP 4 a new warning pop up window will open. Click OK.
After you click OK, type in your DSM Password then click Submit. Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 6
After you click Submit on STEP 5, select your “Install Doku” Task then click the “Run” tab. You will be asked to run Install Doku – click OK. Follow the instructions in the image below.
STEP 7
Go back to STEP 1 or you will deal with karma 🙂
