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 v0.27.1 release.

  • STEP 1

  • STEP 2

Install Portainer using my step by step guide. If you already have Portainer installed on your Synology NAS, skip this STEP. Attention: Make sure you have installed the latest Portainer version.

  • STEP 3

Log into Portainer using your username and password. On the left sidebar in Portainer, click on Stacks then + Add stack. Follow the instructions in the image below.

Note: Copy Paste the code below in the Portainer Stacks Web editor.

version: "3.9"
services:
  libreddit:
    image: libreddit/libreddit:latest
    container_name: Libreddit
    hostname: libreddit
    mem_limit: 2g
    cpu_shares: 768
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
    read_only: true
    user: 1026:100
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "wget", "--spider", "-q", "--tries=1", "http://localhost:8080/settings"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 5s
    ports:
      - 5740:8080
    restart: on-failure:5

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Web editor area below, change the value numbers for user with your own UID and GID values. (Follow my step by step guide on how to do this.) 1026 is my personal UID value and 100 is my personal GID value. You have to type in your own values.
