How to Install Homarr on Your Synology NAS

Homarr is a simple and lightweight homepage for your server that helps you easily access all of your services in one place. The thing I like most about Homarr is its speed and simplicity in adding links of your favorite docker apps. You can use it as a bookmark as well. Great integration with Plex, Sonarr, Radarr etc. Homarr supports multiple configs and persistent storage. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Homarr on your Synology NAS using Docker.

Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Homarr v0.5.2 release.
