LubeLogger is a self-hosted, open-source vehicle service records and maintenance tracker. This container can be very useful if you have an auto repair shop or just to keep track of your car maintenance history. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install LubeLogger on your Synology NAS using Docker and Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest LubeLogger v1.3.2 release.
