Fenrus is a personal homepage/dashboard. It allows you to have a custom homepage/new tab page with quick access to your personal apps, website, and docker images. It’s something similar to Homarr, Flame, Dashboard and Heimdall. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Fenrus on your Synology NAS using Docker.
