How to Install OpenResume on Your Synology NAS

How to Install OpenResume on Your Synology NAS

OpenResume is a powerful open-source resume builder and resume parser alternative to Reactive Resume. The goal of OpenResume is to provide everyone with free access to a modern professional resume design and enable anyone to apply for jobs with confidence. The resume PDF is a modern professional design that adheres to U.S. best practices and is ATS friendly to top ATS platforms such as Greenhouse and Lever. It automatically formats fonts, sizes, margins, bullet points to ensure consistency and avoid human errors. The app only runs locally on your browser, meaning no sign up is required and no data ever leaves your browser, so it gives you peace of mind on your personal data. If you already have an existing resume PDF, you have the option to import it directly, so you can update your resume design to a modern professional design in literally a few seconds. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install OpenResume on your Synology NAS using Docker and Portainer.
