How to Install Huginn on Your Synology NAS

Huginn is a system for building agents that perform automated tasks for you online when you are not at computer. Huginn can read the web, watch for events, and take actions on your behalf. Huginn’s Agents can create and consume events, propagating them along a directed graph. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Huginn on your Synology NAS using Docker.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Huginn 2022.08.18 release.
