How to Install Libreddit on Your Synology NAS

Libreddit hopes to provide an easier way to browse Reddit, without the ads, trackers, and bloat. Libreddit was inspired by other alternative front-ends to popular services such as Invidious for YouTube, Nitter for Twitter, and Bibliogram for Instagram. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Libreddit on your Synology NAS using Docker.

Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Libreddit v0.20.2 release.
