LogPaste is a minimalist web service for uploading and sharing log files with whoever you want. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install LogPaste on your Synology NAS using Docker.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest LogPaste 0.2.9 release.

• STEP 1

Please Support My work by Making a Donation.

• STEP 2

Install Container Manager via Synology “Package Center”. If you run an older DSM version (under 7.2), search for Docker instead of Container Manager.

• STEP 3

Make sure you have a synology.me Wildcard Certificate. Follow my guide to get a Wildcard Certificate. If you already have a synology.me Wildcard certificate, skip this STEP.

• STEP 4

Go to Control Panel / Login Portal / Advanced Tab / click Reverse Proxy. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 5

Now click the “Create” button. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 6

After you click the Create button, the window below will open. Follow the instructions in the image below.

On the General area, set the Reverse Proxy Name description: type in LogPaste. After that, add the following instructions:

Source:
Protocol: HTTPS
Hostname: log.yourname.synology.me
Port: 443

Check Enable HSTS

Destination:
Protocol: HTTP
Hostname: localhost
Port: 3330

• STEP 7

On the Reverse Proxy Rules click the Custom Header tab. Click Create and then, from the drop-down menu, click WebSocket. After you click on WebSocket, two Header Names and two Values will be automatically added. Click Save. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 8

Go to Control Panel / Network / Connectivity / Check Enable HTTP/2 then click Apply. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 9

Go to File Station and open the docker folder. Inside the docker folder, create one new folder and name it logpaste. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

• STEP 10

Go to Control Panel / Task Scheduler / Create / Scheduled Task / User-defined script. Follow the instructions in the image below.

• STEP 11

Once you click on User-defined script, a new window will open. Follow the instructions below:

1. General: In the Task field type in Install LogPaste. Uncheck the “Enabled” option. Select root User.
2. Schedule: Select Run on the following date then select “Do not repeat“.
3. Task Settings: Check “Send run details by email“, add your email then copy paste the code below in the Run command area. After that, click OK.

docker run -d --name=logpaste \

-e SITE_DARK_MODE=true \
-e SITE_TITLE=mariushosting \
-v /volume1/docker/logpaste:/app/data \

mtlynch/logpaste

Note: Before you paste the code above in the Run command area, change the value for SITE_TITLE and add your own title. mariushosting is an example for a title. You have to insert your own title.
