Open Dronelog is a high-performance, open-source dashboard for organizing and analyzing drone flight logs privately and locally. It focuses on DJI (.txt logs) and Litchi (CSV) formats with support for Airdata and some third-party CSVs, offering a fully local-first alternative to cloud-based tools. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Open Dronelog on your Asustor NAS using Docker and Dockhand.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Open Dronelog v3.3.0 release.

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

• STEP 3

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

• STEP 4

Now create three new folders inside the opendronelog folder that you have previously created at STEP 3 and name them data, files, logs. Follow the instructions in the image below.
Note: Be careful to enter only lowercase, not uppercase letters.

🟢Please Support My work by Making a Donation. Almost 99,9% of the people that install something using my guides forget to support my work, or just ignore STEP 1. I’ve been very honest about this aspect of my work since the beginning: I don’t run any ADS, I don’t require subscriptions, paid or otherwise, I don’t collect IPs, emails, and I don’t have any referral links from Amazon or other merchants. I also don’t have any POP-UPs or COOKIES. I have repeatedly been told over the years how much I have contributed to the community. It’s something I love doing and have been honest about my passion since the beginning. But I also Need The Community to Support me Back to be able to continue doing this work.
