Password Pusher is an opensource application to communicate passwords over the web, similar to Yopass and Private Bin. Links to passwords expire after a certain number of views and/or time has passed. In this step by step guide I will show you how to install Password Pusher on your Synology NAS using Docker and Portainer.

💡Note: This guide works perfectly with the latest Password Pusher v1.40.6 release.

    mem_limit: 512m
    cpu_shares: 768
    security_opt:
      - no-new-privileges:true
    user: 1026:100
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "pg_isready", "-q", "-d", "passpusher", "-U", "passpusheruser"]
      timeout: 45s
      interval: 10s

    environment:
      POSTGRES_DB: passpusher
      POSTGRES_USER: passpusheruser
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: passpusherpass
    restart: on-failure:5

  passpusher:
    image: pglombardo/pwpush-postgres:latest
