Odoo is a suite of open source business apps that cover all your company needs: CRM, eCommerce, accounting, inventory, point of sale, project management etc. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Odoo on your Synology NAS using Docker.

Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Odoo 15 release
